🚀 Introducing G-Points.

At GARVA, we believe loyalty should be rewarded.

That's why we're excited to launch G-Points- our exclusive client rewards programme designed to reward clients for embracing smarter, more efficient ways of managing their business.

Here's how you can start earning G-Points:

🦒 100 G-Points when you sign up to the GARVA Client Portal.

🦒 100 G-Points when signing up to Slippy-G- our smart app designed exclusively for GARVA clients that lets you snap a photo of your slips to feed them directly to Xero.

🦒 100 G-Points when you connect your bank feed to Xero.

🦒 5 G-Points every month that you actively use Slippy-G.

🦒 G-Points every time you pay your GARVA invoice on or before the due date, with the number of points based on the value of your invoice.

And the best part?

Redeem your G-Points for exclusive GARVA merchandise, take-a-lot vouchers, office stationery and other exciting items available through the GARVA Client Shop, accessible directly from your Client Portal.

At GARVA, we're constantly asking one question:

"How can we make accountancy more valuable, more rewarding and more enjoyable for our clients?"

G-Points is another answer to that question.

Because at GARVA, we're not just keeping up with the profession-we're helping redefine it through innovation.

There's always that one eFiling notification that ruins an otherwise perfectly good day.

*"Selected for audit."*

Groundbreaking.

Fortunately, good record-keeping is considerably less dramatic than people make it out to be.

Today, we celebrate every kind of dad- biological dads, grandfathers, adoptive dads, stepdads, fur dads, dads-to-be, and those watching over us from heaven.

Thank you for the love, sacrifices, guidance, and quiet strength you give so freely. Your impact reaches far beyond what words can express.

Wishing all fathers and father figures a Happy Father's Day. 💙

At GARVA, we have never believed that community impact is measured by grand gestures alone.

Sometimes, impact looks like helping an entrepreneur understand their numbers for the very first time. Sometimes, it means offering professional guidance where it is needed most. Sometimes, it is supporting organisations such as the Tula Mama Foundation and its Mama Kangaroo Bag initiative, contributing to animal welfare initiatives, or creating opportunities for businesses to connect, grow and thrive together.

As accountants, we work with numbers every day. But behind every number is a person, a family, a dream, a business, or a cause worth believing in.

Community impact is not something we reserve for a dedicated campaign or a once-off project. It forms part of how we choose to show up each day – by sharing knowledge, supporting meaningful causes, championing SMEs, and using our profession as a platform to create value beyond compliance.

We are proud to have submitted our entry for the 2026 Xero Awards South Africa – Community Impact category.

A sincere thank you to Xero for creating a platform that celebrates firms striving to make a difference beyond their day-to-day services. It is encouraging to see community impact recognised alongside innovation and business excellence.

Regardless of the outcome, we remain committed to doing business differently. Because success means little if it is not accompanied by purpose, compassion, and a genuine desire to leave our communities stronger than we found them.

Proud to share our submission for the 2026 Xero Awards South Africa – Emerging Practice of the Year category.

GARVA is still a young firm, and simply having the opportunity to tell our story on a platform such as this is something we are deeply grateful for. This journey has been built on bold ideas, incredible clients, a passionate team, and a genuine belief that accounting can be done differently.

A sincere thank you to Xero for creating opportunities that celebrate innovation, encourage firms to think differently, and recognise the impact that emerging practices can make within the profession. We are honoured to be part of this journey and to stand alongside so many inspiring firms.

Regardless of the outcome, we remain immensely proud to be part of the Xero community and grateful to everyone who has supported GARVA along the way. 💙🩷🦒
