Trusted Audit & Advisory for NGOs & Not-for-Profits

Building Stronger NGOs Through Accountability & Growth

Jekibs Consultants is a professional audit and advisory firm dedicated to strengthening the financial, governance, and reporting capacity of small and medium-sized Not-for-Profit Organizations (NGOs).

The firm was founded to close a critical gap faced by those small and medium-sized NGOs across East Central and Horn of Africa: difficulty in attracting donor funds, maintaining compliance, and passing audits without disruption. This is primarily achieved by bequeathing our deep understanding of Sustainable operational and Financial Systems to our Clients, which in turn creates a control environment that donors trust or can independently assess with ease.
