Dickson brings a lot of qualities into an engagement. His enthusiasm for quality mixed with an abundance of technical knowledge across accounting, legal or regulatory spectrums makes him a significant individual to lean on for guidance. Furthermore, Dickson is extremely talented from the commercial aspects of business; creating an extremely positive and motivated working environment for his team, all encompassing around the business model of our firm and a key cog in the business development side. Dickson is an extremely talented and hard working individual who would always add value and insight into a business. Most importantly, Dickson is a friend as well as a leader for Baker Tilly.

Our business vision has been made clearer, especially in regards to our financial position. Thanks to the accounting advisory services provided. Best of all you provide a prompt service for both our businesses in the UK and Africa making it easier to express our demands and services required with your local knowledge about both countries. Thank you.

Dickson has been doing a great job. Very detailed, which is great

Dickson quickly understood our needs and gave practical solutions. He is professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him for accounting and auditing help. He being a kind-hearted person is another plus for those working with him. Thank you, Dickson.

I became aware of Dickson via a computer search directed at my interests establishing business to support a charitable school for disabled children. He responded quickly to my initial contact. We agreed on the scope of a report about business opportunities, and he (with his local team) promptly delivered a useful report, which has been most useful in informing my business development plan. I would recommend his services as being prompt, focused, well informed and good value.

I am really impressed with it [the business plan] and very optimistic that I will surely get funds to finance (the mechanization) of my farming activities as proposed in the document.

I like the way your team handled us professionally. It is very hard to get quality services, even when you are paying for them. However your team justified that there are some professional people who still exist in the country. For that, the family and I are pleased. Well done.

As we have been considering establishing a business to support existing Christian ministries, your consulting work has been excellent. I very much appreciate the thoroughness of your reports, and most importantly you and your team's eager willingness to respond to my follow-up inquiries. Your expert assistance has made a tremendous difference in our feasibility studies and comprehensive analysis. Due in no small part to your team's work and effort, it does appear that we can proceed to the next step of finalizing the business planning. I am very confident that you and your team will play a role in that endeavor. Warm Regards, and many thanks.

I have been impressed by the level of professionalism, promptness and thoroughness of your service. My experience as a Development Economist and Institutional Fundraiser in the UK – having raised hundreds of thousands of pounds, could not have prepared me for what financial institutions needed in order to get a loan for my enterprise. Your firm has tweaked my business plan to the level that it can stand the rigors and scrutiny of investment financing institutions.

It started with a vague conversation about a business idea that I had and went on to being one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. After just one [advisory] session with Dickson, I felt like I had got my money's worth. Thank you for your patience, your diligence and giving me back my confidence. Our e - commerce is finally on its way…. 

We have used this firm’s services for over 10 years now. Dickson and his team have worked on providing their services to our pharmacy, investment club, software business, and mining company. Dickson puts service provision before payment. He is responsive and diligent. I have referred him to several contacts of mine.

I hired Dickson to do various feasibility studies for projects we were looking to invest in and he did a brilliant job. Additionally, his company has been offering us accounting-related and payroll advisory services for a research project for a US University. Very professional and excellent work. I highly recommend. 

Dickson performed very well the tasks he was given. The job consisted in "reviewing" a 70-page financial due diligence report: checking the relevance of explanations, the quality and understanding of English, the consistency of figures between tables, graphs, comments, the wording etc. Dickson was very accurate and dedicated to identify any correction and area of improvement. His conclusions were very clear, relevant and easy to implement. I recommend him for such tasks! 

I am delighted to share my story; in fact, you can share it with the rest of the world.
When we (my 2 partners , Flavia and Wambua, and I) had just started our events company, there were so many hurdles. Business was scarce, and for the few we got, some clients would complain.

As partners, we sat and thought through our business to see how we could change the trend. That is when we came up with the idea of contracting [Dickson’s team] to formulate a marketing strategy for us. Our target was to get at least 8 events a month. (I got to read your “advanced thinking” newsletter that how I got to know you). We have so far implemented some of those recommendations and are still working towards others, e.g.

• We hired a full-time assistant. With this, we hit 2 birds with one stone. He does marketing, he can be a clown, he does setup/down, he knows electrical work, so he does all the wiring, including the generator. We also have part timers.

• We printed flyers, stickers and banners and make sure we are visible at every party we organize or in a busy shopping mall, we even slip fliers under people's doors!

• We promoted our Facebook page and it's in the 400s. We are visible on the internet and have a website. People call to make orders after getting our contacts from the internet.

• We started proper financial management, opened a bank account, saved on every payment, and reinvested the remainder after costs. We keep proper books of account and every penny is accounted for.We are practicing delayed gratification for the partners.

• We have been able to acquire more equipment to our existing one. 

• Our sales have increased! We leave very happy and excited customers who make more recommendations for us . We developed a database of all our previous customers.

• We are almost hitting the target in Sep -2 events (25%),Oct- 2 events(25%) Nov - 8 events (100%), Dec- 8 events(100%), Jan-4 events (50%) , Feb- 5 events (75%).
   

We have made progress and still have a lot to do, am hoping by the end of the year we shall be able to add on to this story. We still have challenges, but we shall get there. We are yet to tap into corporate clients.
 

Let me take this opportunity to thank you, Dickson , and the entire team for showing us direction and your continued follow-up. Have a nice day.
