Finance is about far more than reporting numbers. It is about enabling better decisions, unlocking growth and creating sustainable value.

McKay Consulting supports entrepreneurs through comprehensive financial, corporate, tax and people management — a full-service operation running from daily bookkeeping through to pricing, reporting, budgeting and CFO-level strategy. For engagements that call for it, we partner with senior specialists to bring large-scale transformation and systems leadership to the table.

Led by Keith McKay, working in partnership with Yolande Visser on transformation and systems-led engagements.

01Who we are

Business leaders should focus on growth — not get lost in the numbers.

McKay Consulting is a full-service finance operation for founders: comprehensive financial, corporate, tax and people management under one roof, running from daily bookkeeping right through to CFO-level strategy.

That means you get the discipline of a finance department and the judgement of a CFO, sized to what the business actually needs today — with trusted partners on call for the moments that call for more, including enterprise transformation and systems leadership through our collaboration with Yolande Visser.
