DNL Associates Inc.

About the firm

The firm is located in Brooklyn which is part of the now fast developing eastern business area of Pretoria.

It has a strong client base in Pretoria and also many others in surrounding areas and further afield all over South Africa and even globally.

A wide range of services is rendered to more than 500 clients in a broad spectrum of business activities, from personal tax matters to large corporate clients. The firm enjoys an excellent relationship with its clients and is proud of its service to them. The credit for the growth of the firm is given to the partners’ and staff’s continuous availability and personal attention to their clients’ matters.

The firm started to operate from 1 March 2014 after Albert de Lange and Johannes Coetzer  took over the reigns from Japie van der Laan who retired from the partnership on 28 February 2014. Japie continues to be very much involved in the accounting, tax and estate planning affairs of all his current clients and also provides consulting services to the firm.

Japie has been in practice since 1973 and formed DNL Associates in 2005. Albert and Johannes, both previous trainee accountants under Japie's supervision, joined him and later became partners.
