The Spirit Invest Finance team had a very busy, but successful end to 2025.

 December, being a short month, with public holidays and early office closure, is always a challenge, so I am very proud of the Finance Team for achieving all their tasks and deliverables.  

The team worked relentlessly to ensure that staff and brokers were all paid in time for their Christmas shopping and holidays.

I want to send out a special thank you, to Leo, Liezl, Johan and Oscar for making themselves available during the December holidays to complete finance tasks that unfortunately do not stop when the offices are closed.

 With the end of December also marking the end of the financial year for all Spirit Invest companies, extra diligence had to be taken to ensure we close out 2025 accurately. 

During Q4, Spirit Invest companies’ 2026 budgets for the year ahead were signed off and 2026 promises to be even bigger and better than 2025.

With the size of Spirit Invest now exceeding 30 companies, a large part of the fourth quarter was spent with the auditors as part of the interim audit to assist us in achieving our deadlines in 2026. 

Many hours were spent with new regulatory requirements coming into effect and adjustments to our internal process and systems were made to ensure we comply to the requirements.

 We are very much looking forward to a fantastic 2026 and hope the markets continue with the momentum we enjoyed during 2025. 

We wish all Spirit Invest companies the very best in achieving their targets and budget numbers for the year ahead and rest assured the Finance Team will always be there to assist when required!
