Financial Consulting & Advisory

Helping business leaders and investors optimise commercial outcomes, manage financial risk and improve governance.

Our Story.

Jakal was founded on broad finance experience and deep financial industry expertise. We support senior executives and their teams when they face capacity constraints or need to scale up — whether for day-to-day operations or more strategic projects.

Success is achieved through the power of partnerships, and in our case that is represented by our extensive network throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, focusing on Africa and the United Kingdom, which we call home.
