MGI Bass Gordon

It's Throwback Thursday at the Bass and today we're reminiscing about the great video shoot we had with Xero and Oranjezicht City Farm earlier this year as part of Xero's Customer Stories project. In this video, you will discover the remarkable story of how the OZCF came to be. A project borne from compassion and love for the community, on an incredible trajectory of growth – re-evaluating the way we view food while creating jobs and building a legacy that is not only changing Cape Town but perhaps even South Africa.   But as any entrepreneur will know – behind every story of growth and success, the numbers are vital for sustainability and further advancement. Explore how MGI Bass Gordon and Xero empower SMEs, like OZCF, to reach their full potential and beyond.   A huge thank you to Xero and Oranjezicht City Farm for allowing us to do beautiful business together. #business #community #growth #building #southafrica #ozcf #capetown #sustainability #entrepreneur #mgi #xero #xeroaccounting #cloudaccounting #npo #customersuccessstory #food #TEAMBASS #audit #acccounting #tax #corporatefinance #lovewhatyoudo #smallbusiness #sme #proudlysouthafrican #video

#TEAMBASS hosted our last Vac Work Programme for the year last Friday. It was an engaging and informative day where aspiring CAs(SA) could learn more about the audit space, what it takes to be a successful trainee and to experience our culture. The journey to become a Chartered Accountant is not an easy one but it is worth it - make the most of all the opportunities available to you to network and to learn more about the profession along the way. As our Managing Partner, Abraham Petersen CA (SA) RA, advised our guests: Make an informed decision, not an influenced one. We are still accepting applications for 2025 SAICA traineeship, get in touch if you are interested! We are also accepting applications from students who do not have their PGDA yet. #mgi #gradrecruitment #futurecareer #culture #vacwork #capetown #accounting #audit #tax #corporatefinance #jointhebass

What an incredible experience reconnecting with MGI Africa members at last week’s meeting! 🎉 The speakers shared fascinating insights on topics like technology advancements, AI, RPA, security awareness, and fraud risk. My key takeaways from these sessions: 🔑 There’s massive potential in this space. 🤝 Technology should enhance relationships with teams and clients. 🔎 Invest time in researching what’s out there. 💡 Choose tools that truly add value. 🌍 Build and nurture your community. 📚 Keep educating ourselves and our teams. 🚀 Bring your teams along for the journey to ease change anxiety. ⚠️ Phishing and vishing threats remain very real—stay vigilant! A huge thanks to Xero for sponsoring the event and to Carla for trusting me to speak during the sponsor slot (with a touch of swag, thanks Rosalind 😉). I loved sharing insights on “Building a Cloud-Based Ecosystem” and the steps we’ve taken in our own journey: 🌟 Embrace the positives - efficiency, cost savings, better decision-making, and happier teams. 🤔 Be selective - focus on apps that deliver genuine value. 🤝 Foster strong relationships with app providers. 📖 Never stop learning and training. 💡 Share your ideas widely. 👩💻 Prioritize change management and support your team. 🎉 And most importantly—have fun exploring this space! The panel discussion, skillfully moderated by Chipo Mashava, was engaging and insightful. All in all, it was a great opportunity for Schermbrucker Alan, Johann, Catherine and I to be there and connect with fellow MGI members. Thank you MGI RAS and Audrey for hosting such a well-organized and inspiring event. My head is buzzing with new ideas, and I’m excited about collaborating with some of you in the future! #Technology #Collaboration #CloudSolutions #MGIAfricaMeeting #mgi #TEAMBASS #southafrica #africa #sme #cloudbasedaccounting #tax #audit #accounting #xero #guestspeaker #globalnetwork
