Goals For Good: Stanley Accounting

In a small town like Graaff-Reinet, it takes more than expertise to make a difference – 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁. Stanley Accounting Services has been quietly blending both for over a decade, helping local families and businesses navigate the complexities of finance while making a real impact in the community.

Union is proud to continue our 𝗚𝗢𝗔𝗟𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗 series by acknowledging the generous support of Stanley Accounting Services.

Seen here is the Stanley Accounting Services team with Union hockey players 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗺𝘀 and 𝗠𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗶 𝗩𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿, who recently stopped by their premises in Cradock Street to thank them for supporting their fundraising initiative.

At the helm are husband-and-wife team 𝗔𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 and 𝗘𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘆, who founded the firm in 2010. What began as a small two-person operation has grown into a thriving team of nine – a testament to their dedication, professionalism and the trust they have built within the Graaff-Reinet community.

In line with their values, Stanley Accounting Services has chosen to support Clean Trade through their Goals for Good pledge.
