Firm Description
Alor and Associates was established in March 2018 by law under Ghana’s Companies Act 1963, ACT 179 (as amended). The company was founded by a young management consultant seeking to transform the Ghanaian consulting landscape and create that taste of consulting in Ghanaian businesses for Ghanaian consultants. It is asserted that Ghanaian businesses do not have taste for consulting and if they ever did they prefer an international firm. The founder started as a sole practitioner, providing a wide range of management consulting services to local and indigenous Ghanaian businesses in the agribusiness and the manufacturing sectors of the Ghanaian economy. After running solo for almost a decade, A&A was birthed. The formation of A&A was nurtured by the desire of the founder and other young professionals to come together to work as a team and to build the capacity of the up and coming finance and accounting professionals. Since its inception, A&A has focused on enhancing the productivity and profitability of its clients. We serve as an extension of our client’s management team and a strategic unit, providing opportunities for improvement in the way our clients conduct their businesses. We also help set the direction that will lead to the attainment of each client’s respective goals and objectives. A&A is currently managed by a young but experienced team of professional with diverse background and experience in consulting and with support from a team of associates running the day to day activities of the company. We have a formidable team of professionals working tirelessly on the entity’s projects. Our team of experts have specialist knowledge in various disciplines, including internal auditing, planning and budgeting, social accountability, accounting, tax and business advisory, training, consulting, agribusiness management and human resource management. We also have association with specialist firms in the fields of Informational Technology (IT), Law and Academia for capacity building. We organise our professional services into three main portfolios (i.e. Business Advisory, Financial Accounting and tax advisory services). Each portfolio provides industry-focused services, drawing upon the knowledge, skills and experience of suitably qualified, experienced people working within our network of specialist resources.
