About the Firm

Audit, Tax and Compliance Advisory Built for Kenyan Businesses

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.

Clear Proposal

Within 48 hours, you receive a service plan with fixed pricing, clear timelines, and defined deliverables. No hidden fees. You know exactly what to expect before we begin.
