Full service catalog
Everything A&B does, in one place.
The homepage shows six practices in brief. This page has the full list: every service currently available, plus the two still in development.
Tax & Compliance
Tax & Compliance Advisory
iTax filing, VAT and PAYE compliance, eTIMS setup, and withholding tax remittances. The recurring filing work, done properly, with a senior advisor reviewing anything unusual.
For: sole proprietors, professionals, and SMEs who need it done right but don't need a Big 4 retainer.
Financial Leadership
CFO Advisory
Budgeting, forecasting, and cash-flow management for businesses that have outgrown gut-feel decisions but aren't ready for a full-time CFO.
For: growing businesses that need real financial visibility, not just compliance filing.
Accounting & Bookkeeping
Whatever system you run, whether QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, Zoho Books or spreadsheets, we keep your books current, reconcile every account and close each month on time, with management accounts you can act on.
For: businesses whose books are behind, inconsistent or spread across systems.
Assurance
Audit & Assurance
Independent financial statement audits.
IT Risk Advisory
Systems and controls risk review: where financial data is exposed, and what a maker-checker process would actually catch.
Technology Advisory
Every engagement starts the same way regardless of which service below applies: a deep look at how the business actually runs today, process by process, to establish the facts and find the real gaps. Then a solution built to fit that business, not a template pulled off the shelf.
Systems Selection & Implementation
Choosing and setting up the accounting, ERP, and CRM tools that fit a business's actual stage, rather than the enterprise platform it doesn't need yet or the spreadsheet it has outgrown.
For: businesses replacing manual tools or switching systems that don't want to guess.
Digital Compliance Tooling
eTIMS and iTax integration, digital recordkeeping, and the technology side of staying compliant with KRA and other regulators, set up once rather than re-solved every filing cycle.
Process Automation
Automating the manual finance and compliance workflows (invoicing, reconciliation, filing prep) that eat time a small team doesn't have, so it can operate like a bigger one.
AI Advisory
A clear-eyed read on where AI genuinely earns its keep in a specific business (operations, cost, or margin) and a deliberate adoption plan, not a tool bolted on because everyone else is talking about it.
For: businesses evaluating AI tools or workflows who want the case for it made in their own numbers.
Structuring & Advisory
Market Entry Research
A structured read on a market before a business commits capital to it, grounded in real data rather than assumptions, so a new entrant knows the size of the opportunity, where the competition is strong or thin, and what to actually do about it, in a decision-ready report rather than raw research to interpret alone.
For: businesses evaluating whether, and how, to enter a new East African market.
Secretarial Services
Entity registration and licensing, local tax registration, work permits, and banking introduction for businesses expanding into Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and the DRC, through a vetted, regulator-verified local partner in each country.
For: SMEs with a credible plan to operate in a second or third market.
Management Consulting
Governance, operating structure, and growth-planning advisory for businesses that have outgrown informal decision-making.
Investor-Readiness Advisory
Financial statement cleanup, cap table structuring, governance tidy-up, and due-diligence data room preparation for businesses planning to raise outside capital.
For: companies raising capital in the next 12 to 24 months.
Private Client
Wills
Wills, powers of attorney, and guardianship nominations for individuals, drafted and certified jointly with a partner advocate. The consultancy handles intake and coordination, not the legal drafting itself.
Trusts & Offshore Services
Domestic family trusts under Kenyan law. For clients whose profit or asset base has grown past the point where it applies, treaty-based holding structures and asset-protection trusts through vetted, regulator-verified agents in Mauritius, the UAE, Nevis, and the Cayman Islands.
For: families and business owners at very different points on the same continuum. Ask which end applies to you.
Diaspora Investment Advisory
Helping diaspora clients deploy remittances into regulated local investment vehicles such as money market funds, Treasury bonds, and SACCO products, through licensed partners, rather than leaving capital idle after it lands.
How this tends to work
Most clients start with one problem.
Usually it's compliance. The relationship grows from there: as the numbers stabilize, as the business expands into a second market, as personal wealth grows alongside it. We built the practice to be the natural next call at each of those points, not to sell everything on day one.
Get compliant
Filing done properly, with real financial visibility from month one.
Get clarity
Management accounts and a KPI view once compliance is no longer the only question.
Get the systems right
Tools and automation that fit the business's actual size, so growth doesn't outrun what runs it.
Assess the market
Market entry research and competitive analysis before committing to a new country.
Expand
Register and operate in a second East African market.
Protect
Wills and succession planning as personal assets grow alongside the business.
Raise capital
Get investor-ready when outside capital is the next step.
Invest
Put diaspora or domestic wealth into regulated investment products.
Structure
Treaty-based holding and asset-protection structuring, once it genuinely applies.
Common questions
Straight answers before the first call.
What clients usually ask when they’re deciding whether we’re the right firm.
Who does Asili & Busara work with?
Sole proprietors, professionals, SMEs and growing businesses in Kenya and across East Africa, and families and business owners on private client matters such as wills, trusts and succession.
Which countries do you cover?
We work from Nairobi across Kenya, and in Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and the DRC through vetted, regulator-verified local partners. Somalia is a developing market for us. For offshore structuring we work with agents in Mauritius, the UAE, Nevis and the Cayman Islands.
What does your tax and compliance work cover?
iTax filing, VAT and PAYE compliance, eTIMS setup and withholding tax remittances: the recurring filing work done properly, with a senior advisor reviewing anything unusual.
We have outgrown gut-feel decisions but can’t justify a full-time CFO. Can you help?
Yes. CFO Advisory covers budgeting, forecasting and cash-flow management, and Accounting & Bookkeeping gives you monthly management accounts and a working KPI dashboard: the financial visibility of a finance function without the full-time hire.
Do we need to change accounting software to work with you?
No. We work in the system you already use, whether that’s QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, Zoho Books, an ERP or spreadsheets, and close your books there every month. If the system is holding you back, we’ll say so and help you move, but switching is never a condition.
How do you help a business expand into another East African market?
In two steps. Market Entry Research gives a decision-ready read on the market before capital is committed. Secretarial Services then handles entity registration, licensing, local tax registration, work permits and banking introductions through a verified local partner in each country.
When does an offshore structure make sense?
Only once a client’s profit or asset base has grown past the point where it genuinely applies. Many families start with a domestic trust under Kenyan law; treaty-based holding and asset-protection structures in Mauritius, the UAE, Nevis or the Cayman Islands come later, if at all.
Do you draft wills yourselves?
Wills, powers of attorney and guardianship nominations are drafted and certified jointly with a partner advocate. A&B handles the intake and coordination, not the legal drafting itself.
How does an engagement start?
Usually with one problem, most often compliance. Send a consultation request with a sentence or two on what’s going on; a partner reads every request and replies within one business day, and tells you which services actually apply.
Not sure where you'd start?
That's the point of the conversation. Tell us what's going on, or book a 15-minute call, and we'll tell you which of this applies.
Thank you, your request is in.
A partner will reply within one business day. We’ve also sent a confirmation to your email, so you know it reached us.
