The Management and Business Consultancy unit of Nexia SAB&T provides consulting services to both the private and public sectors. In pursuit of service excellence, services are driven by the client’s needs with a view towards building long-term partnerships.  Services offered include the following:

Asset Management

Nexia SAB&T provide a complete and reliable service in the management of assets. This service includes the compilation of an asset register, identifying of the assets and their value, tracking of assets and reporting on the asset environment of clients.

Business Improvement / Process Re-engineering

Business Performance is a series of business processes and applications that provide the basis for execution of a business strategy. In today’s times businesses need to be more efficient, transparent i.e. reduce risks, improve business performance, minimise costs and enhance revenue. Nexia SAB&T understand the “business of business” and “driving forces of process” and as such are able to assist clients to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their company’s operations.

Business Process Outsourcing

This entails the outsourcing by entities of various functions such as asset management, supply chain management, human resource function, finance function, non-core functions or projects, which the entity may not be able to deliver on with the resources that it has.

Change Management

Nexia SAB&T provides change management agents, who monitor change initiatives at entities, to ensure they meet the envisaged objectives on time and remain within budget. Our agents focus on the human aspect of change, which includes changes to business processes, systems, technologies, job roles and organisational structures.

Change management strategies and plans are developed to maximise employee adoption, while minimising resistance to change. Use of change agents results in faster adoption, higher ultimate utilisation to increase benefit realisation, value creation and return on investment.

Change managers may also act as coaches for senior management and executives by providing support during the change adoption process.

Corporate and Asset Valuations

In recent years, the traditional large accounting firms have come under increasing scrutiny with regard to their real and perceived independence in providing non-audit services to audit clients.

This has led to these firms having to introduce time-consuming and costly global “conflict checks” prior to accepting any valuation engagement, resulting in longer engagement turnaround times and higher fees for valuations. Often, these firms are prohibited from accepting an engagement due to an existing relationship with an associated or group company. This has led to a demand for high-quality valuations services from independent firms. In response to this demand, Nexia SAB&T has established a specialist valuations practice, comprising experts who have significant specialist valuation experience.

Nexia SAB&T has also been accredited by the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE) as a firm that has met the quality standards set by them to arrive at fair and reasonable opinions.
