Paramount Consulting is a Chartered Accountancy practice based in Durban, led by Naeem Paruk CA(SA), serving clients across South Africa with full service accounting, taxation and strategic advisory since 2005.
Paramount Consulting was founded on the principle that good accounting is more than compliance. It is the financial spine of an organisation, and it deserves the attention of a Chartered Accountant who understands both the numbers and the business they describe.
Naeem brings postgraduate qualifications in commerce and Islamic law alongside two decades of hands-on practice. That combination allows the firm to serve a wide range of clients with genuine technical depth, from owner-managed businesses and nonprofits through to family trusts and Shariah-compliant structures.
Whether the engagement is monthly bookkeeping, a SARS dispute, an audit preparation, or a board-level conversation about restructuring, the standard is the same: the rigour expected of a CA, delivered with the accessibility of a firm that knows its clients by name.
Each engagement is structured around the realities of the entity, whether that is a growing business, a registered nonprofit, or a family or testamentary trust.
Outsourced finance for owner-managed businesses that want clean books, accurate tax, and an accountant who picks up the phone.
Specialist support for the nonprofit sector, where compliance, donor reporting and Section 18A obligations all need to align.
Careful administration of trust accounting and taxation, with attention to the obligations placed on trustees by the Master and SARS.
Some matters need a Chartered Accountant with focused experience. These are the areas where Paramount Consulting is most often called in.
Objections, appeals and engagement with SARS on assessments, audits and verifications, including ADR proceedings where appropriate.
Personal income tax returns (ITR12), provisional tax for sole earners, investment and rental income disclosures, and SARS correspondence for individual taxpayers.
Working alongside auditors to prepare clean, well supported files that make external audits efficient and predictable.
Full payroll processing, EMP201 and EMP501 submissions, IRP5 issuance and UIF compliance for businesses of any size.
End to end nonprofit compliance, from initial registration through to annual reporting, Section 18A certificates and IT3(d) submissions.
One of few South African CAs with formal qualifications in both accounting and Islamic law. Advisory on waqf trusts, zakaat fund compliance, Shariah-compliant business structures, and mosque and madressa governance.
A short call to understand your entity, where it stands today, and what you actually need from an accountant. No charge for the first conversation.
A clear written proposal covering scope, deliverables, timing and fees. No surprises. You decide whether to proceed.
Work delivered to agreed deadlines, with direct access to the practitioner doing it. Reviews scheduled at meaningful intervals.
The easiest first step is a call or a WhatsApp. If email is more comfortable, that works too.
Paramount Consulting is a registered Chartered Accountancy practice. All client engagements are governed by a written letter of engagement and the SAICA Code of Professional Conduct.
