Stransact Expands Horizon, Unveils Deals and Advisory Services

In a bold move to redefine financial advisory in Africa’s largest economy, Stransact, the premier accounting firm in Nigeria, has launched its new Deals and Advisory Services unit. 

This strategic expansion positions Stransact, which is leading Nigerian accounting firm as a comprehensive partner for businesses navigating complex capital markets, mergers, acquisitions, and growth opportunities.

Complementing this milestone, the firm has appointed Kalu Uwagwu as Director of the new unit. With his illustrious career spanning decades in banking and asset management, Uwagwu brings unparalleled expertise to spearhead this initiative, promising to unlock new avenues for corporate success in Nigeria’s dynamic economic landscape.

“Imagine a mid-sized agribusiness eyeing expansion into neighboring Ghana; our team will dissect financial synergies, mitigate risks from currency fluctuations, and structure deals that maximize shareholder value while complying with cross-border regulations. Beyond M&A, the services extend to capital raising—whether through equity offerings, debt instruments, or hybrid structures. 

“In a market where venture capital inflows reached $1.8 billion in 2024 according to the African Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (AVCA), Stransact’s advisory will demystify the fundraising journey, from crafting compelling pitch decks to selecting the right investors, ” said Eben Joels, Managing Partner at Stransact.

He further noted that, “Private equity and venture capital advisory forms another pillar, addressing the funding crunch faced by innovative startups in sectors like fintech, renewable energy, and e-commerce. Nigeria’s tech ecosystem, valued at over $5 billion, is booming, yet many founders struggle with valuation disputes or exit strategies.”
