Home /About Journalled

Local understanding. International perspective.

Journalled is an accounting practice founded by Yusuf Muhammad Akhalwaya, CA(SA), for owners who want clear records and practical financial insight.

The person behind the practice.

Yusuf qualified as a Chartered Accountant (South Africa) in 2023. His background includes audit experience at BDO South Africa and KPMG UK. He is a current member of the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA).

That experience informs the way Journalled works: understand the underlying records, ask precise questions and explain the conclusion in plain language. Prior employment describes Yusuf’s experience and does not imply endorsement of Journalled by those firms.
