WHO ARE WE?

Ignus Kempen and Lizzie Kempen have been chartered accountants since 2003 and 2004, respectively.

Since our early days in 1999 when we started our articles at Griesel Nel in Centurion, South Africa, we have built up our relationships with our clients and fellow professionals. We established firms such as Griesel Nel Southern Cape in 2004 and built it into the multinational firm LUMENROCK, acquiring more than 100 employees along the way, before eventually building our own brand under KEMPEN Group. We believe the people we have come across and the relationships we have forged over time have put us in good stead for the future.
