Ramsay McDonald completed high school at Kimberley Boys' High in South Africa in 1984. After school he was fortunate to get funded in part by a bursary from Pim Goldby (the predecessor of Deloitte) and partly by his father to study for a Bachelor of Commerce and a postgraduate diploma in accounting at the University of Cape Town from 1985 to 1988.
In 1989 he passed the board examination to qualify as a chartered accountant and completed his training contract with Deloitte.
“I spent two years with the Kimberley Deloitte office in a manager capacity before going on a short-term secondment to Deloitte in the United Kingdom, the Winnersh office. I then joined the Deloitte Namibian office in 1993 until 1997 and transferred to the Deloitte Cape Town office where I eventually became partner in 1999,” he says.
