A premium firm with its feet in the East African market.
Mdawida LLP brings partner-led audit, tax, and advisory services to founders, boards, and institutions who want more than a signature on a set of accounts.
Rigour and growth, under one roof.
Too many businesses in the region experience professional services as a once a year compliance exercise, disconnected from the decisions that actually move the business. We built Mdawida LLP to close that gap.
On one side, we deliver assurance and tax work to international standards, the kind that satisfies regulators, lenders, and boards. On the other, we bring the strategic finance thinking that helps a business absorb capital and grow. The two belong together, and our clients feel the difference when they are.
We work across East Africa, with our home in Nairobi, Kenya. Wherever we work, the promise is the same: senior people, honest numbers, and advice you can act on.
Our home: the Nairobi central business district.
Four commitments behind every engagement.
Independence & Integrity
We say what the numbers say. Our assurance means something because our judgement is never for sale.
Technical Rigour
IFRS, IPSAS, and tax law applied with precision, then translated into decisions you can act on.
Partner-Led Attention
Senior people on every engagement. You work directly with the professionals accountable for the work.
Built for Growth
We do more than sign off on the past. We help you build the financial capability to scale.
