Helping business leaders and investors optimise commercial outcomes, manage financial risk and improve governance.
About Us.
Our Story.
Jakal was founded on the strength of broad finance experience and deep expertise in the financial services industries, to meet the need for complementing senior executives and their finance teams as they encounter through-the-cycle capacity constraints and the need to scale-up for day-to-day delivery and strategic project execution.
Success is achieved through the power of partnerships, and in our case that is represented by our extensive network throughout EMEA, focusing on Africa and the United Kingdom, which we call home.
