Expert audit, accounting, and business advisory services for SMEs and growth-oriented businesses
About the Firm
Ocean Wanga Associates works with SMEs and growing enterprises across Kenya, bringing 18 years of audit, tax and regulatory experience to every engagement.
We started this firm in 2008 with a clear conviction: small and medium businesses in Kenya deserve the same quality of financial guidance that large corporates take for granted. 18 years later, that conviction has not changed. We have served over 500+ clients across Nairobi and beyond, handling statutory audits, KRA compliance, Companies Act filings, and tax planning for businesses at every stage of growth.
Our team holds active ICPAK practising certificates and stays current with every regulatory shift, from the Finance Act amendments to evolving Data Protection requirements under the Kenya DPA 2019. Clients come to us because we give direct answers. We do not engage in jargon or unnecessary complexity. Just clear, actionable financial guidance.

KRA, Companies Act 2015, and Data Protection Act 2019 compliance across all engagements
Every service is structured around the realities of running a business in Kenya, not adapted from a corporate playbook
We flag risks before they become penalties and identify savings before the filing deadline passes
Every engagement starts with a conversation about your business, not a sales pitch. We scope the work honestly, quote a fixed fee upfront, and communicate progress at every stage.
