01
We are fee-based, not commission-driven
We charge you for our advice and nothing else. We don't earn a cut for steering you into a particular fund or policy, which means the recommendation you get is the one we'd make for our own family.
About the practice
Independent advice, built to be read.
Brenvato Financial Advisory was founded in 2019 on a stubborn idea: that financial advice should be clear enough to act on, honest about its own limits, and free of the product commissions that quietly bend so much of the industry.
Most people don't need more financial information. They need someone to make sense of the information they already have.
Why Brenvato
What actually makes us different
02
You get a named adviser, start to finish
No handoffs to a junior after the sale. The person who takes your first call is the person who writes your plan and sits across from you a year later. Continuity is the whole point.
03
We write things down in plain language
Every engagement ends in a document you can read without a glossary. If we can't explain a recommendation simply, we take it as a sign we don't understand it well enough yet.

Nomsa Dlamini leaves a large advisory firm to start an independent practice with two clients and a rented desk.
2021
Tax and modelling in-house
Ruben and Thabo join, letting us handle tax structuring and cash flow forecasting under one roof rather than referring it out.
2023
Investment desk established
Priya builds our independent, fee-based investment offering, completing the picture from cash flow to long-term wealth.
2025
310+ clients and counting
Now a team of eleven serving businesses and private clients across the Western Cape, still working the way we started.
Come and meet us.
The best way to understand how we work is a conversation. Book thirty minutes with an adviser — in our office or over a call.
