About us
Elmar Accounting & Computer Services opened its doors to serve our clients on the 1st of July 1993. The company was founded by professional accountants Elize van Heerden and Mario Marshall (now retired) who decided to leave the employment of a big auditing firm to start a business that can provide complete accounting services and software solutions for small and medium enterprises.
Having grown up in a home with a love for accounting Elize's daughter, Elske Malan, qualified as a Chartered Accountant SA in 2015 and joined the family business. In 2016 Elske joined the firm's management and the firm has since been run by this dynamic mother-daughter duo.
Elmar Accounting is based in Bloemfontein and specialises in Sage Pastel Accounting and Payroll software and related support and accounting services. With more than 26 years of experience we have a passion to add value to our clients' businesses.
