The little snake is about snake safety, but more than that it is about learning to read. Its very basic language will help any child practice their reading.
Johan Hefer is a Chartered Accountant CA(SA) whose entire career ? from his earliest days as a trainee accountant to senior corporate finance and academic roles ? has been shaped by working with and alongside small and medium businesses. Over more than twenty-five years he has seen the same challenges repeat across industries, geographies, and business sizes: capable, hardworking owner-managers running on instinct and goodwill, without the tools or language to build something truly sustainable.
He spent six years as a Senior Lecturer at Rhodes University, supervising thirty-one research students, and is a published author with Oxford University Press (SA), contributing 22 chapters across a cost accounting and a financial management textbook. For eight years he ran his own consulting practice working directly with small businesses.
He lives in Shelly Beach on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast of South Africa ? and occasionally sells music to choir directors in Alaska.
