Clinton Consultancy: Africa’s Leading Boutique Advisory Firm – The Trusted Alternative to the Big Four and McKinsey

By ClintonOur Publications

1. Introduction – Why Africa Needs a New Breed of Consultancy

  • International companies in Africa often default to Big Four firms or McKinsey.

  • These firms bring global credibility but can lack the local agility and nuanced understanding of African markets.

  • Clinton Consultancy bridges the gap — globally trained, locally based, Africa-first.

2. Who We Are

  • Founded by internationally trained professionals, with prior experience in Big Four firms and leading consulting houses.

  • Headquartered in Accra, with presence in Sierra Leone and active matters across West, East, and Southern Africa.

  • Track record of advising international corporates, investors, NGOs, and high-net-worth clients.

3. What Makes Us Different (USPs)

  • Boutique agility: faster turnaround, personalised attention.

  • Transparent fees: no hidden mark-ups, clear fixed-fee packages.

  • Deep Africa expertise: on-the-ground networks across Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and Francophone states.

  • Cross-border capability: strategy, regulatory, and legal advisory combined under one house.

  • Credibility: internationally trained, ex-Big Four/McKinsey-style advisors with Africa execution experience.
