What we do

Fifteen specialized service lines. One integrated team.

From boardroom strategy to back-office execution, Salihi Consulting Services delivers the full spectrum of capabilities modern organizations require to grow with confidence, comply with rigor, and outperform their peers.

01Finance

Accounting, Bookkeeping & Financial Reporting

Accurate, timely and well-structured financial information sits at the heart of every well-run organization. Our accounting practice provides full-cycle bookkeeping, general ledger management, accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliations, fixed-asset registers, and management accounts — all delivered with consistency and audit-readiness in mind.

We close monthly and quarterly books on disciplined timelines, issue board-ready management reports, and prepare year-end financial statements aligned with IFRS for SMEs or full IFRS where required. Where clients are scaling, we also design the underlying chart of accounts, costing structures, and reporting cadences so finance becomes a source of decisions rather than friction.

What we deliver

  • Monthly and quarterly management accounts
  • Annual financial statements (IFRS-aligned)
  • Bank, supplier, and intercompany reconciliations
  • Chart of accounts design & finance policies
  • Board, investor, and donor reporting packs
02Finance

Tax Registration, Filing, Compliance & Clearance

Tax obligations in Somalia and the wider East-African region continue to evolve, and getting them wrong is costly. Our tax practice handles the full lifecycle — from initial registration and TIN issuance to ongoing filings, payments, clearance certificates, and dispute support — so management can focus on growth instead of administrative risk.

Beyond compliance, we work with clients on tax-efficient structuring, transaction reviews, withholding tax, payroll taxes, and donor-funded project tax management. Where investigations or assessments arise, we represent and advise clients through reconciliation, objection, and resolution.

What we deliver

  • Tax registration and TIN issuance
  • Monthly, quarterly, and annual tax filings
  • Tax clearance certificate support
  • Tax-efficient structuring and reviews
  • Representation in audits and assessments
03Assurance

Financial Auditing, Internal Control Review & Compliance

Stakeholders — boards, investors, donors and regulators — increasingly demand independent assurance over the numbers and the controls behind them. We conduct external audits, internal audits, agreed-upon procedures, and special-purpose reviews scoped tightly to the issue at hand.

Our control reviews diagnose where processes leak value, where fraud risk concentrates, and where governance can be strengthened. Findings are translated into pragmatic remediation roadmaps the organization can actually execute.

What we deliver

  • External and internal audits
  • Internal control and risk reviews
  • Fraud risk assessments
  • Donor-funded project audits
  • Remediation roadmaps and follow-up reviews
04Compliance

Business Registration, Licensing & Company Compliance

Establishing a properly registered, licensed and compliant entity is foundational. We guide founders, investors, and international groups through choice of entity, registration with relevant authorities, sector-specific licensing, work permits, and beneficial-ownership filings.

For established companies, we run year-round corporate-secretarial support: statutory filings, board minutes, register maintenance, license renewals, and notifications of structural changes — ensuring the entity remains in good standing at all times.

What we deliver

  • Company incorporation and registration
  • Sector and operating licenses
  • Beneficial ownership and statutory filings
  • Corporate secretarial and good-standing maintenance
  • Branch, NGO and representative-office setup
06Development

Capacity Building, Institutional Development & Staff Training

Strong institutions are built deliberately. We work with ministries, agencies, NGOs and private organizations to strengthen governance, refine operating models, design organizational structures, and embed the systems that allow people to perform.

Our training programs — in finance, leadership, compliance, procurement, M&E and digital skills — are tailored to the actual capability gap, delivered by senior practitioners, and reinforced through coaching and on-the-job application.

What we deliver

  • Institutional and capacity needs assessments
  • Operating model and structure design
  • Custom training curricula and delivery
  • Leadership development and coaching
  • Post-training reinforcement and evaluation
07Strategy

Gap Assessment, Needs Analysis & Integrated Solutions

Before solutions, clarity. Our gap-assessment engagements run structured diagnostics across people, process, data, technology, and governance — surfacing where the organization is constrained and which interventions will produce the most leverage.

Findings feed into an integrated solution plan: prioritized, sequenced, costed, and owned. We then walk alongside management through implementation so the assessment does not gather dust.

What we deliver

  • Operational and functional gap analyses
  • Capability and capacity assessments
  • Integrated transformation roadmaps
  • Implementation planning and sequencing
  • Quick-win identification and execution
08Technology

Software Development, ERP Customization & IT Solutions

Technology should support strategy, not dictate it. Our technology practice designs and builds custom software, web and mobile applications, and integrates or customizes ERP platforms so that operations, finance, HR, and reporting flow as a single backbone.

We bring engineering discipline — requirements clarity, modular architecture, secure-by-design practices, and post-launch support — to every build, and we transfer ownership to in-house teams so clients are never trapped in vendor lock-in.

What we deliver

  • Custom software & web/mobile applications
  • ERP selection, customization & rollout
  • Systems integration and data migration
  • Cybersecurity reviews and remediation
  • Managed support and SLA-based maintenance
09Assurance

Investigation, Due Diligence, Verification & Compliance Review

When the stakes are high — an acquisition, a major contract, a partner onboarding, or a suspected internal issue — organizations need facts, not speculation. Our investigation practice runs background checks, integrity due diligence, asset tracing, and compliance reviews with discretion and rigor.

Engagements conclude with a defensible evidence pack and actionable recommendations, enabling boards and executives to act with confidence.

What we deliver

  • Counterparty and supplier due diligence
  • Pre-investment / pre-acquisition reviews
  • Internal investigations and forensic reviews
  • Sanctions, AML, and integrity screening
  • Evidence packs and remediation guidance
10Operations

Project Management, Implementation Support & Execution

Strategy is only as good as execution. We embed senior project managers and PMO capabilities into client teams to plan, govern, and deliver complex initiatives — from system rollouts and organizational change to donor-funded programs and capital projects.

Our approach combines clear governance, transparent reporting, and pragmatic risk management, ensuring milestones are met, budgets respected, and benefits actually realized.

What we deliver

  • Project charters and governance setup
  • PMO and program management
  • Implementation oversight and assurance
  • Donor-funded project execution support
  • Benefits realization and close-out reviews
11Finance

Capital Raising, Investment Readiness & Fundraising Advisory

Whether the goal is equity, debt, blended finance, or grants, the preparation is the same: a credible business case, audit-ready numbers, defensible projections, and a governance posture that institutional capital recognizes.

We prepare clients for capital, refine the investment thesis, build the data room, manage investor engagement, and — where appropriate — introduce qualified investors and development-finance partners from our network.

What we deliver

  • Investment readiness diagnostics
  • Information memoranda and pitch decks
  • Financial models and projections
  • Data room preparation and management
  • Investor outreach and process management
12Strategy

Corporate Strategy, Business Advisory & Marketing Support

We help shareholders and executives think clearly about where to play and how to win. Engagements range from full strategic plans to focused interventions on growth, pricing, market entry, brand, and customer experience.

Where required, we then support execution — commercial structures, marketing operations, partnerships, and performance tracking — ensuring the strategy moves from document to demonstrable progress.

What we deliver

  • Strategic plans and growth roadmaps
  • Market entry and expansion studies
  • Brand positioning and identity
  • Marketing operations and campaigns
  • Performance dashboards and reviews
13Development

Human Resources, Organizational Development & Policy

People drive performance, and people respond to clarity. We design organizational structures, define roles and grading, build compensation and benefits frameworks, and write the policies and handbooks that translate values into behavior.

On the talent side, we run recruitment, performance management systems, training programs, and HR digitization initiatives — the full stack required to attract, develop, and retain the right people.

What we deliver

  • Organizational design and job architecture
  • Compensation, benefits and grading frameworks
  • HR policies, handbooks and procedures
  • Recruitment and executive search support
  • Performance management systems
14Operations

Procurement, Supply Chain & Logistics Consulting

Procurement is one of the largest controllable cost lines for most organizations, and a frequent source of governance risk. We design procurement policies and manuals, run category strategies, structure supplier-evaluation frameworks, and rebuild procure-to-pay workflows.

On the operational side we advise on logistics, warehousing, freight, and supply-chain resilience — reducing cost, lead-time and exposure to single-point-of-failure suppliers.

What we deliver

  • Procurement policies and manuals
  • Tendering and supplier evaluation
  • Category management and sourcing
  • Procure-to-pay process redesign
  • Logistics, warehousing and freight advisory
15Operations

Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting & Documentation Support

Donors, boards, and regulators increasingly demand evidence of impact, not activity. We design results frameworks, theories of change, indicators, and data-collection tools, and we build the dashboards and reporting cadences that turn data into decisions.

Engagements often include baseline, midline, and endline studies, third-party verification, and writing of donor-quality narrative and financial reports.

What we deliver

  • M&E frameworks and theories of change
  • Baseline, midline and endline studies
  • Third-party verification of results
  • Donor narrative and financial reports
  • Performance dashboards and visualization
