“It came a time in my life when I wasn't too sure what plans the Almighty
God had with my life, I had worked for a decade as a Chartered
Accountant but had nothing to show for it. Had given it much time than
what I had devoted to my family but still wasn't happy or satised. I am
sure there was a mission which God had instilled in me but I hadn't
discovered it. However I had envied a man called William Welch
Deloitte whom in 1845 opened an ofce in Basinghall Street in London
and today is the biggest name in Accounting, audit and nancial
consultancy and has a presence of 150 countries with over 200,000
professionals. At one point I was such a professional working under him
st
from the rst year of the 21 Century.
Today, I start this dream to create a mega brand in accounting and
nance which will live long after I leave the earth but with one mission,
to provide economic freedom and empowerment to the people of
Africa. This is my gift to the continent as I say thank you to the Lord
Almighty for my life. Let the knowledge, skills and lessons I learnt under
His watch benet the people I love most, Africans.”
“For me branching and partnering with an excellent steward such as
Kruger, to co-found Don Hazelwood, dates to the time I realised there
are no meaningful balance between young professionals and
experienced ones that do exist. Simply seeing how hard it was for
SMME's, NPOs, family ofces and young entrepreneurs to establish
themselves. The key was not mainly starting but being rmly
establishing themselves as many "big guns" charged ridiculous price for
once off services and left them on the dark. The reections on how to
bring the right mix of old, tried and tested techniques and the innovation
which youngsters possess, I then felt that Kruger and I can bring a
transformation of the way of doing business.
I believe together we could change lives, eradicate unemployment,
unify families by creating multi-family ofces (MFOs) and attract
investments across the continent of Africa. Don Hazelwood resembles
the heavenly way of living in business, partnering, assisting, advising
and establishing.”

9. THE PHILOSOPHY
We at Don Hazelwood are not afraid of new ideas that bring change. Over
the years, we have come to the realization that "Consensus is
innovation's evil twin". You can never achieve radical innovation if you
are looking for consensus on an idea.
We have always been open to great ideas and freed up our innovation
team to pursue grand ideas without burying them in the usual governance
and hierarchical structures of the organisation.
We don't claim to never having encountered mistakes. We have always
learnt from our mistakes without panic, instead we searched for the
lessons learnt in every mistake. We have rewarded excellent failures and
punish mediocre success because we believe that if we punish mistakes, it
will not stop people from failing but it will stop them from trying and
eventually less innovation.
Mission
Don Hazelwood is committed to simplify all business needs. To that end,
we shall strive to account for your nancial success by creating value from
every transaction you make whilst we adhere to the highest standards of
business conduct.
Vision
To be recognised as a Strategic and Pro-active partner that provides
innovative solutions that maximize the organizational potential.

§ Integrity
