About Us

Finance that works for your business. Not the other way around.

I’m Christo Bothma — a Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA, CGMA) and the founder of Colbee. I work with ambitious South African business owners as their fractional CFO and strategic financial partner. I founded Colbee because I kept seeing the same problem: smart, driven business owners making critical decisions — hiring, pricing, expansion, investment — without the financial clarity they needed to get those decisions right.

Most accounting firms are built for compliance. Tax returns. Annual audits. Statutory filings. That work matters — but it’s not what growing businesses actually need most. What you need is someone who understands your numbers and your business. Someone who can look at the financials and tell you what they mean — not just what they say.

Colbee is built differently. We run on modern technology (QuickBooks, Xero, Sage), we think commercially, and we work as a genuine financial partner — not just your year-end accountant. Whether you need a fractional CFO, monthly management accounts, SARS compliance, or strategic business advice — we give you the financial infrastructure and support that most businesses can’t access through a traditional firm.
