The directors

A meeting point of expertise, perspective and partnership.

Confluence is the coming-together of two established practices — a financial planning team and a chartered accounting team — working as one on behalf of our clients.

Directors

Coenraad PretoriusCFP®

Director — Wealth & Financial Planning

Certified Financial Planner® · 25+ years in financial services

A Certified Financial Planner® with more than 25 years in the industry, Coenraad leads the wealth and financial planning practice with strategic vision and a genuinely people-first approach. Much of his career has been spent helping advisers and clients move from fragmented, product-led arrangements to independent, well-structured plans. He is at his best in long-horizon work — succession, legacy and intergenerational wealth — where the technical strategy and the family conversation have to hold together.

Dylan Mattison

Director — Wealth & Financial Planning

BCom (Accounting) · CFP® candidate

Dylan holds a BCom (Accounting) and is working toward his CFP® designation. He helps professionals and business owners build durable, tax-efficient wealth — starting with their goals rather than a product, then translating those goals into a tailored plan covering savings, investment, income and tax. Clients value his hands-on, results-driven style and the clarity he brings to decisions that are easy to postpone.

Ernst BothaCA(SA)

Director — Accounting, Advisory and Tax

CA(SA) · Registered Tax Practitioner · BAcc & CTA, University of Johannesburg

Ernst completed his Bachelor of Accounting and CTA at the University of Johannesburg before serving his SAICA articles, specialising in the telecommunications and technology sectors. As a senior financial accountant in the corporate environment he built deep experience in statutory, regulatory and tax compliance. He also lectures taxation at postgraduate level at the University of Johannesburg — a discipline that shows in how clearly he explains complex structures to clients.

Daniel VenterCA(SA)

Director — Accounting, Advisory and Tax

CA(SA) · Registered Tax Practitioner · BAcc & CTA, University of Johannesburg

Daniel completed his Bachelor of Accounting and CTA at the University of Johannesburg and his SAICA articles, specialising in financial services, followed by a period as an audit supervisor.
