Financial Advisory
Careful and innovative financial thinking is the cornerstone of any organisation's business strategy.
Overview
What this service is for.
TAG Systems Associates has for some time maintained a dedicated department of advisory services, focused on client support while ensuring high financial performance. The work runs from the first feasibility question through to the transaction, the recovery or the dispute.
What connects it is a single discipline: the numbers have to survive scrutiny — from a board, a lender, a regulator or a tribunal.
Capabilities
What we do.
Each engagement is scoped to what the organisation actually needs. The list below is the range we work across, not a package.
Project feasibility studies
Testing feasibility, viability and sustainability over the long run — not only at the point of approval.
Business valuations
Scoped to the nature of the exercise, whether acquisition, restructuring or shareholder buyout.
Mergers and acquisitions
Analytical and advisory support across the transaction.
Business recovery services
How to turn around a business with declining earnings or liquidity problems.
Project finance and capital raising
Venture capital, project finance and stock exchange listing services — raising capital through private placement or the capital markets in East Africa.
Disputes, investigations and arbitration
Financial disputes, investigations and arbitration — settling disputes outside the court process.
Our approach
How we work.
Define the decision
Advisory work is only as good as the question. We fix the decision the analysis has to serve before we begin.
Build the evidence
Assumptions are documented, sourced and tested, so the conclusion can be defended line by line.
Model the downside
Viability that holds only in the base case is not viability. We stress the case that worries us most.
Advise, then support delivery
A recommendation is the beginning of the work, not the end of it.
Sectors

This service is delivered across the sectors below. Industry context changes the risks, the reporting and often the whole shape of an engagement.
Common questions
Before you ask.
Yes. Our services include venture capital, project finance and stock exchange listing services — raising capital through private placement or through the capital markets in East Africa.
It should be. The basis and depth of a valuation depend on the nature of the exercise — acquisition, restructuring or shareholder buyout each call for a different treatment.
