Who I am
A practitioner first, an advisor by craft.
I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in November 2011, then spent the formative years of my career at Deloitte and EY before founding my own practice in April 2017.
Today, I run two firms — KAT & Company, a CA practice, and Professional Pundits, a consulting outfit — with a team of fifteen and over five hundred clients served. I also hold a Doctorate in Business Administration from SSBM Geneva and serve as a Registered Independent Director on the boards of listed companies.
This page is where I take on engagements in my personal capacity — one-on-one consulting, speaking, board roles, and advisory.

Focused, hourly sessions where you bring a problem and I bring three decades of combined practice. Solutions delivered on the call itself — no fluff, no follow-up homework.
Your finance department without the overhead. Monthly reporting, cash flow planning, budgeting, SOPs, and strategic advisory — delivered by a senior bench, owned by me

Director
Something
else in mind?
Boardroom expertise with an independent perspective. Audit committees, risk oversight, governance, and strategic guidance for listed and pre-listed companies under the Companies Act 2013.
Many engagements begin with a question that doesn't fit a neat category. If your situation is unusual, let's talk — bespoke advisory and project-based work are also on offer.
