Christiaan Coetzee: SAICA’s Top 35 Under 35 Overall Award Win
From selling snacks at a school tuck shop to saving the audit industry 450 years of manual work, this is the story of Christiaan Coetzee, the South African CA(SA) who turned frustration into innovation.
At the SAICA Top 35 Under 35 Awards, Christiaan was named the overall winner for 2024. Recognized for revolutionizing how auditors work through his creation of The Audit Toolbar, a tool now used by over 250 firms across several continents.
In this powerful speech, Christiaan reminds us that:
“Our biggest fear is not that we are inadequate; it’s that we are powerful beyond measure.”
And that behind every balance sheet, there’s a human story.
Watch to the end for his heartfelt shoutout to UNISA, SAICA, his family, and a reminder that every one of us has the power to light the way for someone else.
