LOCAL tax advisor Le Roux van der Walt, who recently relocated his office from the City Bowl to Observatory, says his long search for local office space was worth it. Obs is so much more accessible for his city-wide clients.
Le Roux’s four-man operation Lighthouse Consulting, which provides accounting and tax services to businesses and individuals, is now based at Collingwood Place on the corner of Ansen and Collingwood Road.
He says his months-long search for new premises indicates quite a shortage of local office space. Yet local rentals are still much lower than the City’s. Le Roux now occupies twice the space for more or less the same rent, allowing room for growth and a better client interaction. 
Lighthouse’s clients range from individuals to freelancers and artisans, to sizeable companies. 
One of the main advantages of moving to Observatory, says Le Roux, is that he now runs into some of his local clients in Lower Main Road from time to time. In an age where much of tax and accounting is done via email, this helps to enhance the personal attention that is the hallmark of Lighthouse’s service.
