He studied for his BCom (Hons) degree at the University of Stellenbosch, did his articles at PricewaterhouseCoopers and qualified as a chartered accountant in 1973. [1] [3]

Mouton started his career aged 22 as an articled clerk at PwC. [4] [2] In 1995, Mouton was fired as managing partner by stockbrokers Senekal, Mouton & Kitshoff, a firm he co-founded. He later founded PSG Group. [5] [6]
