TC Group Strengthens Offshore Talent Capabilities as Chartered Solutions Rebrands to TC South Africa
• 2 min read
TC Group, a leading UK firm of accountants and business advisors, has today announced the rebrand of its offshore audit and finance capability, Chartered Solutions, to TC South Africa. This marks a significant milestone in its growth, reinforcing its mission to deliver high‑quality remote audit and advisory talent to UK accounting firms.
Where the journey began
Founded in 2022, Chartered Solutions was built on a simple premise: that UK accounting firms should be able to access exceptional South African professionals through a high‑quality, remote‑first offshore model. Founders Mike Lewis and Justin Bower prioritised quality over scale from day one, establishing a team that quickly became trusted by UK firms.
By 2023, the South Africa‑based team had grown to 16 skilled professionals supporting a range of UK practices. Around this time, the founders were introduced to TC Group, one of the UK’s fastest-growing accountancy groups. Both organisations shared a commitment to entrepreneurial thinking, partner autonomy, and delivering value through highly capable team, a natural foundation for joining forces.
After four years of operating under the Chartered Solutions brand, the business now embarks on its next chapter as TC South Africa.
Justin Bouwer, Co‑founder, says: “Our team in South Africa has grown into an exceptional group of professionals, and this rebrand reflects the confidence and trust our UK clients have placed in us.”
A strategic move aligned with UK market demand
Mike Lewis, Co‑founder, comments: “Under the new brand we are doubling down on our growth ambitions. Being part of the TC Group strengthens our ability to support UK firms that want to scale with the right talent, backed by strong governance and a commitment to long‑term success.”
Strengthening TC Group’s global capability
Martyn Smith, a Group Managing Partner from TC Group adds: “Expanding our global footprint through TC South Africa enhances our ability to support UK partner firms with the high‑caliber talent they need. The South African team has already demonstrated exceptional commitment to quality and a culture that aligns with TC Group’s values. This rebrand marks an important strategic evolution as we continue to innovate in how we support clients.”
Looking forward for tc south africa
TC South Africa enters this next chapter with momentum, pride, and a renewed commitment to excellence. The journey continues.
