WHO ARE WE?

Juan Visser

Managing Director | Meshed Group (Pty) Ltd

In 2015, I took up a job as an accounting trainee. I soon realised that this was not my true calling. I was learning to create wagons while self-driving cars were on their way. Under mentorship from a finance genius, Barne du Toit, we started a new company in 2017 called Meshed Group (Pty) Ltd.

In 2019 we were acknowledged by Sage as the Digital firm of the year in South Africa. Focusing on automation and optimisation of finance systems, the company quickly grew to one of the most renowned advisory firms in Cloud Adoption and App advisory. We have since become a Xero only integration partner, focusing on integrations and application advisory. My main focus is to enable firms with the best cloud application available. I strive to automate mundane, repetitive tasks so that advisors and accountants can focus on high-value tasks.

To this day, Barne is still my Mr. Miyagi. I am fond of the most difficult tasks and spending time automating them. In my spare time, I enjoy craft beer and biltong. Obstacle courses are on my bucket list every year.

Jeshua Crous

Chief Operating Officer | Meshed Group (Pty) Ltd

I grew up in Cape Town and decided to pursue my passion for people by studying Educational Psychology at the University of Stellenbosch. After graduating, I pursued my passion for contributing to the development of others in the field of education. During my time as an English and Life Orientation Educator, I wrote the HPCSA board exam to become a Registered Counsellor. In order to further enhance my skills, I completed a Course in Sport Psychology.

After a rewarding career in education, I turned my interest to the private sector. In preparation for this part of my career, I completed several courses and underwent Facilitator Training. Finally, I completed the Stellenbosch University BPsych Equivalence program which led to my registration as a Psychometrist (Independent Practice) with the HPCSA. It was during my time at Stellenbosch that I re-discovered my passion for (statistical) data and for interpreting it in such a way that it benefits both the users (and subjects) thereof.

Whilst my scope of applying data-driven insights to improve processes and the lives of others has been extensive, I gladly highlight a few of the projects that I have had the privilege to be part of:

*Contract- and project management for several ICT projects;
*Oversee the re-design and implementation of an end-to-end performance management process;
*Oversee the implementation of psychometric assessments as part of the recruitment and selection process in a range of business environments to improve the efficacy of the process as a whole;
*Creation and implementation of several predictive Business Intelligence models – including a highly accurate annual turn-over projection model.

Whilst the journey thus far has been exhilarating, I am excited by the proposal that the best is yet to come!
