Young Chartered Accountant runs advisory practice in South Africa and UK

• Hi, I am Lyle Malander a Chartered Accountant from South Africa and co-founder of the Malander Group of companies.
• Today I may run a successful firm offering business advisory, and recruitment services to clients in South Africa and the UK, but it was far from easy.
• Here is how I quit my well-paying job and started my venture from scratch.

Growing up surrounded by poverty 

I was born in Cape Town.

Being colored in South Africa meant that I came from a previously disadvantaged background. 

I grew up in and around the Cape Flats and was surrounded by poverty.
