What We Do

Six Core Service Areas

Each service is delivered by qualified professionals with direct experience in that discipline. We do not outsource or subcontract your engagement.

Accountant reviewing financial statements

Statutory Audit

A statutory audit is a systematic, evidence-based examination of your financial statements, conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Every engagement is scoped to the specific legal requirements of your sector, taking into account the nature of your business, its control environment, and the risks inherent to its operations.

  • External financial statement audits for companies, NGOs, and SACCOs
  • Internal audit and control system reviews
  • Compliance audits against ICPAK and statutory requirements
  • Management letter with findings and recommendations

Tax Advisory

Tax obligations in Kenya span corporate income tax, PAYE, VAT, withholding tax, and sector-specific levies. We help businesses file correctly, plan efficiently, and avoid the penalties that come from late or incorrect returns. Every engagement is grounded in current KRA regulations and the Income Tax Act.

  • Corporate income tax returns and KRA compliance
  • PAYE, VAT, and withholding tax management
  • Tax planning to reduce liability within legal bounds
  • Tax dispute representation and KRA correspondence
Client and auditor reviewing compliance documentation

Compliance Consulting

Staying compliant requires more than filing returns on time. We assess your internal controls, identify gaps against regulatory requirements, and put systems in place that protect the organisation. Our work covers the Companies Act 2015, the Data Protection Act, industry-specific regulations, and ICPAK standards.

  • Internal control systems design and assessment
  • Regulatory gap analysis and remediation planning
  • Data Protection Act compliance review
  • Ongoing compliance monitoring and advisory retainers

Business Advisory

Sound financial management is not an afterthought. We work with business owners and management teams to assess the financial health of their organisations, model capital requirements, manage cash flow, and structure decisions around investment, diversification, and growth. The advice is grounded in your actual numbers, not generalities.

  • Financial health assessments and ratio analysis
  • Capital structuring and funding source evaluation
  • Cash flow planning and operational budget reviews
  • Business restructuring and growth strategy advisory

Bookkeeping & Accounting

Accurate books are the foundation of every other financial decision. We provide both financial accounting for external stakeholders and management accounting for internal planning and control. As more businesses outsource this function, we offer flexible arrangements that give you qualified oversight without the fixed cost of an in-house team.

  • Full-cycle bookkeeping and ledger maintenance
  • Financial statement preparation under IFRS and IAS
  • Management accounts with variance analysis
  • Outsourced finance function for SMEs and NGOs
Satisfied client after payroll and ICT engagement

Payroll & ICT Services

Payroll errors create compliance exposure and erode staff trust. We manage outsourced payroll end-to-end, including statutory deductions and remittances. On the technology side, we help businesses evaluate and implement accounting systems, ensuring the software chosen aligns with the complexity of their operations and reduces the risk of manual error.

  • Outsourced payroll processing and PAYE remittances
  • NSSF, NHIF, and housing levy compliance
  • Accounting software selection and implementation
  • ICT systems risk evaluation and process integration

Our Approach

How We Work

Five operating principles define how we engage with every client, structure every deliverable, and represent our work to regulators.

Competency

Our partners hold 15 to 25 years of direct experience in accounting, auditing, and tax. Continuous professional development keeps the team current with ICPAK standards and IFRS updates.

Independency

We maintain no financial interest in any client organisation. Our opinions are formed without bias or external pressure, in full compliance with the ICPAK Code of Ethics.

Accountability

Every engagement has a named partner responsible for quality and delivery. We answer directly to clients and do not pass work down an opaque chain.

Timely Delivery

Deadlines are commitments. All engagements begin with a signed scope document that includes clear milestones, and we flag delays before they affect your filing obligations.

Professional Behaviour

Integrity, Objectivity, and Confidentiality govern every interaction. Client information is never disclosed to third parties without explicit authorisation.
