About Our Services

Retainer Basis Engagement

CPA provides ‘on-going general advisory support’ to assist clients to sustainably improve management of businesses. Our guidance, strategic insights and technical inputs are unbiased, non-binding and comprehensive.

Our clients usually participate in testing the validity of our analyses and likely outcomes of decision options. This leads to well thought out decisions aligned with client’s business priorities helping transfer knowledge and skills. CPA’s retained services allow clients ‘working day access’ for support as needed.
