01 — Services

Twelve practices. One standard.

Every engagement is scoped in writing, staffed with the right specialists and delivered to the same standard: figures that are traceable, recommendations that are argued, and work that survives an auditor, a regulator or a funder. Select a practice to see exactly what it covers.

02 — How we work

How an engagement runs.

Four stages, the same on a two-week review and a two-year programme. No stage is skipped, and nothing is recommended before it has been tested against the evidence and the people who will live with it.

01

Listen

We start by understanding the organisation as it is — its numbers, its people, its constraints — not as the brief describes it.

02

Diagnose

Findings are tested against evidence and against the people who will live with the conclusions, before anything is recommended.

03

Deliver

Clear deliverables, named owners, realistic timelines. Progress reported plainly, problems raised early.

04

Embed

We transfer the skills, documents and routines so the improvement outlasts the engagement.

03 — Who we serve

Built for organisations that carry real responsibility.

Six client groups, each under different pressures and with a different definition of a good outcome. The practice is broad so that one firm can answer the whole question, not a slice of it.

01

Boards & executive teams

Strategy, governance, restructuring and transformation for established companies.

02

Owners & family businesses

Succession, professionalisation, valuation and the transition from founder-led to institution.

03

SMEs & start-ups

Incorporation, business plans, funding proposals, bookkeeping and the systems to scale.

04

Banks, investors & lenders

Independent models, valuations, due diligence and feasibility studies you can rely on.

05

NGOs & development partners

Donor audits, evaluations, research, capacity building and programme design.

06

Government & public institutions

Policy, public finance, PPP advisory, governance and systems strengthening.

04 — Standards

What you can hold us to.

Four commitments, written into every proposal we sign and kept on every engagement — whatever its size.

Integrity

We tell clients what the evidence says, including when it is not what they hoped to hear.

Rigour

Every figure traceable, every recommendation argued. Work that withstands scrutiny from auditors, regulators and funders.

Practicality

Advice sized to the organisation in front of us, with a clear path from recommendation to result.

Discretion

Client matters are confidential. We describe our work only in the terms our clients allow.

05 — Questions

Before you get in touch.

The questions we are asked most often. Anything else — ask us directly.

With a conversation. Tell us the situation by phone or email, or through the form below. We hold a short scoping discussion, then send a written proposal setting out objectives, deliverables, team, timeline and fees. Work begins only once that proposal is agreed.

We are based at 7 IBEACO Building on Mahakamani Road in Dar es Salaam, and take on assignments across Tanzania and the wider East African region.

Fees are set out in the proposal before any work begins. Defined deliverables — an audit, a valuation, a business plan, an evaluation — are usually quoted as a fixed fee. Ongoing advisory and outsourced functions are usually agreed on a monthly or time basis.

Yes. Engagement summaries and references are available on request, subject to the confidentiality terms agreed with each client. We describe our work only in the terms our clients allow.

Yes. Donor-fund audits, baseline, mid-term and end-line evaluations, field research, capacity building and programme design are a core part of the practice, alongside governance and systems strengthening for public institutions.

Yes. Bookkeeping and accounting, payroll and statutory remittances, company secretarial work, internal audit, recruitment and HR administration can all be outsourced to us on a continuing basis, documented and ready for audit.

You do not need to know. Describe the situation and we will bring in the right specialists — most engagements draw on more than one practice.
