I read the Robert and Kim Kiyosaki book about how a key step in their journey out of debt and towards building an empire was having a bookkeeper with whom they met monthly, starting when they didn't have a lot of money. Amongst the things she brought to the table, certainly the skills/ activities I need are - a monthly reality check meeting of the state of finances - setting financial goals - an accountability partner towards those goals

Hi. I want to acquire the ownership of the Company in terms of shareholding. My brother wants to quit as the Director of the Company and put me as the Director.

I am Canadian. I spend six months of the year in the Western Cape. I have a total rental income from three tenants in Muizenberg of R .80 per annum. I pay taxes separately on my Canadian income. I had registered with SARS and paid one year of taxes. Then my accountant was quite ill and got behind, and then when I was overseas he died and I didn't find out until I returned. He has left me two years behind on filing a return. Normally this would be a simple job, every year, now that Sotheby's Lew Geffen manages the properties. However, the two years that I am behind were a chaos of builders, roofers, and plumbers, as well as clumsy attempts by me to rent rooms and flats to individuals (more than one disappeared into the night). I believe I can recover nearly all the necessary receipts and records. I stay near Stellenbosch now. I intend to start investing some of the rental income next year on the JSE. I have no debts here or in Canada. I hope to acquire another property near Stellenbosch.
