Our Story
Beyond the Numbers. Built on Trust.
Founded on the belief that every SME deserves the same quality financial expertise as large corporations.
Why We Started
Alenart Consulting was built out of a frustration I experienced firsthand. Working with businesses across Kenya, I kept seeing the same pattern: talented entrepreneurs making high-stakes financial decisions with no proper guidance, not because they did not want it, but because good financial advice felt like something only large companies could afford.
I founded Alenart to change that. With over eight years of accounting and tax experience in the Kenyan market, I wanted to create a firm that gives SMEs the same depth of financial expertise that corporates take for granted, at a price that makes sense for a growing business.
Every client we work with gets direct access to a qualified professional, not a junior. We take time to understand your business model, your cash flow pressures, and your goals. We give you honest advice, even when it is not what you expected to hear.
