Every business in Kenya — from the mama mboga stall in Gikomba to the multinational corporation in Upper Hill — needs someone to manage its money. That need does not go away during recessions. It does not get outsourced easily. And it does not disappear when markets shift. Accounting is one of the most stable,…
Kenya is under attack — digitally. In 2023 alone, the Communications Authority of Kenya reported over 1 billion cyber threat events detected within a single quarter. Banks, government agencies, hospitals, and small businesses are losing millions of shillings to ransomware, phishing attacks, and data breaches. The demand for skilled cyber security professionals has never been…
Walk into any serious job interview in Nairobi today — at Safaricom, Equity Bank, Kenya Revenue Authority, or any mid-sized startup in Westlands — and you will notice something.

Some of the most respected companies in the world — Google, IBM, Microsoft, Meta, HubSpot, Cisco — now offer free training programmes that end with a certificate carrying their…
