Founded with Purpose

dawnsparkhaven began in March 2018 when our founder recognized a critical gap in accessible retirement planning for South African families. What started as a small consulting practice in Vanderbijlpark has grown into a comprehensive financial guidance platform serving thousands of clients nationwide.
