Since 2016, Cape Town

Built on Kloof Street, on a method we still use today

Wealth Pathway Consulting (Pty) Ltd started as a two-person practice with a simple frustration: financial advice that couldn't be scored, dated, or verified. The methodology came first. The firm grew around it.

One firm, one standard

Every consultant is trained on the same five-phase methodology, so a review run by any member of the team produces findings that read the same way — scored, dated, and traceable back to the source evidence.

"We don't hand clients an opinion dressed up as a report. Every number in our findings can be traced back to the evidence that produced it — that's the whole point of building the firm around a named methodology."

Michael van der Berg — Founder, Wealth Pathway Consulting
