A boutique practice, built on trust
CYL is a CA(SA)-led accounting and advisory firm serving individuals, businesses, public sector entities and non-profit organisations across South Africa. We believe the best advice comes from understanding our clients, which is why we take the time to build relationships and provide practical solutions that support confident financial and business decisions.
Partner-led, from first call to sign-off
CYL is a chartered accounting and advisory practice run directly by its partners. Diason Naidoo and Rubene Ramdas carry forward the traditions the firm was built on: integrity, trust, ethical conduct and a real commitment to client success.
You work with the people who sign off your numbers, not a rotating account team. That boutique structure lets us stay close to your business while bringing the technical depth of CA(SA) professionals to every engagement.
As a B-BBEE Level 1 contributor, we also help clients meet their transformation and procurement goals while we deliver the accounting, tax and advisory work their business runs on.
Our Mission
To provide practical accounting, tax and advisory services with integrity, helping our clients make informed financial decisions with confidence.

The values behind the work
Seven principles shape how we treat your business, your information and your goals.
Integrity
We act honestly, ethically and in your best interests, even when the conversations are difficult.

Confidentiality
We treat your information with confidentiality, professionalism and care.
