Port Elizabeth... We are bringing the trophy back home for the first time 💙
Community Impact Award- 2026 Xero Awards South Africa 🏆
We won. And somehow, that still feels a little surreal.
Just two and a half years ago, GARVA was an idea, a leap of faith and a whole lot of hard work. Tonight, we stood among some truly incredible firms and people who are doing extraordinary things for their clients, their teams and their communities.
And to be recognised with the Community Impact Award means more to us than we can properly put into words.
Because community has never been something we wanted to simply talk about. It is something we believe should be lived- through the causes we support, the people we help, the opportunities we create and the difference we try to make, one small action at a time.
To be recognised for that, especially at this stage of our journey, is incredibly humbling.
This award belongs to the GARVA team. To our clients who believe in us. To our partners and supporters. And to every person and organisation who has allowed us to play even a small part in making a difference.
We are still only two and a half years into this journey.
There is so much more to learn. So much more to build. And, hopefully, so much more good to do.
Tonight, we celebrate with enormous gratitude and very humble hearts.
Thank you, Xero. Thank you to the incredible finalists. And thank you to everyone who has been part of the GARVA journey.
Here’s to building a business that goes Beyond Ordinary- not just in what we achieve, but in the difference we leave behind. 🦒💗

As we prepare for the 2026 Xero Awards- South Africa gala this evening, we received some very special news this afternoon from the GPMG Publishing House.
GARVA has once again been named **Best Accounting Business of the Year- South Africa** in the **2027 Global 100 Awards**.
To receive this recognition for a second consecutive year, following our 2026 win, is an incredible honour.
We never set out to win awards. We set out to build something meaningful, to serve our clients exceptionally well, to challenge the ordinary and to create a firm that truly cares beyond mere number crunching and compliance.
To our clients- thank you for trusting us with your businesses and allowing us to be part of your journeys.
And to our fellow professionals- thank you for inspiring us to keep learning, improving and pushing the profession forward.
Tonight, our focus is on celebrating the incredible finalists and winners at the 2026 Xero Awards. But we’ll certainly take a quiet moment to be grateful for this news too.
