Financial accounting is a specific branch of accounting involving a process of recording, summarizing, and reporting the myriad of transactions resulting from business operations over a period of time.

Financial reporting aims to track, analyze and report your business income. This helps you and any investors make informed decisions about how to manage the business. These reports examine resource usage and cash flow to assess the financial health of the business.

Given the significance of financial reports and analysis, we offer outsourced financial reporting solutions. Our comprehensive services ranges from accountancy, taxation, business consulting, financial analysis, and bookkeeping services among others.

We conform to GAAP, GRAP and IFRS for all forms of financial reporting and we are well-versed in accounting principles. With a client-first approach, we create financial reports specifically for you and offer monthly or ad hoc financial reports in accordance with your company’s needs. In addition, we can assist you in getting ready for an external audit and be supportive throughout the audit period.
