Our mission

To help transform the business landscape in Sierra Leone and beyond through better customer service, professionalism and confidentiality.

Our vision

Excellence in accountancy and consultancy in Sierra Leone, with a reach that goes well beyond it.

How can we help?

We offer professional services for organisations of every size. Every client is different, so we take the time to understand your organisation and its finances before we suggest anything, and we agree the scope and fee in writing before work starts.

SLONEC Accountancy

If you want to outsource your finance and accounting, we keep your books, run your payroll, prepare your year-end accounts and file your returns with the NRA, so you can focus on running your organisation.

For SMEs, start-ups, NGOs, freelancers and landlords. Try the free Sierra Leone tax calculator.

SLONEC Consultancy

Strategy, transformation, governance and mergers and acquisitions, plus support for investors setting up in Sierra Leone. We work closely with you on a plan that fits your organisation and its goals.
