Our Journey

From Auditing to Inclusive Growth

GAD Consulting Services Inc. — Governance, Accountability, and Development — began as an auditing firm serving non-profits and private companies.

Within a year, we uncovered a deeper challenge: many organisations could not afford professional audits, while others defaulted to the Big Four. When they did work with us, it became clear — systems were missing.

Clients didn’t just need auditors — they needed clarity on where to begin.

This insight led to our first product, The Essential Finance Handbook for Entrepreneurs — a seven-step guide simplifying complex financial concepts.

As engagement grew, we realised education alone wasn’t enough. We needed to teach, equip, and walk the journey — giving birth to our Publishing, Training, and Development divisions.

Today, GAD designs and delivers impact-driven, inclusive growth programmes — from personal mastery to national transformation.
