The founder
Certivo is led by Aluwani Radzilani, a Chartered Accountant (SA), former Big 4 auditor and UK finance professional.
His experience spans external audit, financial reporting, financial controls, tax coordination and legal entity oversight across South African and UK environments.
Certivo was created to bring that same standard of rigour to ambitious individuals, professionals and growing businesses—without the distance, overhead or impersonal service often associated with larger firms.
Why Certivo exists
I began my career in external audit, including at a Big Four firm, working with complex organisations and developing a deep understanding of financial reporting, controls and business processes.
But I also saw a gap. Individuals, professionals and growing business owners often had access to compliance services, but not always to clear, proactive advice. Their returns might be filed and their books updated, yet they could still be unsure what their numbers meant, what risks they faced or what decision to make next.
After moving to the United Kingdom, I expanded my experience through senior finance and legal entity control roles, gaining first-hand exposure to UK reporting, governance and regulatory requirements.
Certivo brings those experiences together: South African technical expertise, UK finance experience and a more personal approach to advisory.
Whether you are managing your personal tax affairs, building a side business or growing an established company, you deserve more than a service provider. You deserve a financial partner who understands both your numbers and your ambitions.
