A Zambian firm with a global reach behind it

We audit and advise organisations across the asset management, property, financial services, mining, NGO and public sectors — work carried out under the Companies Act, the Securities Act, the Banking and Financial Services Act, the Pensions and Insurance Act and the NGO Act.

Because we are an independent member of HLB International, we can bring in a specialist from anywhere in the network when an assignment needs one. The relationship you have, though, stays with us.

Why organisations choose us over a large firm

01

A partner does the work

The team proposed for your assignment is the team that conducts it. Our partners and managers are young, energetic and directly involved.

02

You do not fund a learning curve

We are not driven by billable-hour targets, so we can commit time to doing the work well and charge below the rates of the largest firms.

03

Specialists on call, worldwide

When an assignment needs expertise we do not hold in Lusaka, we draw it from the HLB network and bring it onto your engagement.

Paying our fee funds something beyond the audit

We are a small firm that decided to share its luck. HLB Zambia works in HIV and AIDS advocacy and awareness, supports orphans and vulnerable children, and backs sports and community programmes in the townships around our offices.

It is not a line in a report. Our staff turn up, and the work is theirs.
