Africa International Advisors becomes member of global player Andersen Consulting

Africa International Advisors, a Johannesburg-based management consulting firm, has become a collaborating firm of Andersen Consulting.

Founded in 2002, Africa International Advisors is a pan-African consultancy that delivers strategy-led advisory services with a focus on digital transformation and AI-driven business outcomes. The firm advises clients across sectors including energy and resources, oil & gas, infrastructure, trade, logistics, financial services, banking, and telecom.

Through its affiliation with Andersen Consulting, Africa International Advisors will be able to deepen its expertise, tap into the knowhow of other members firms around the world, and grow its cross-border offering to clients.

Re-launched at the start of 2025, Andersen Consulting aims to become a $1 billion consulting business by 2028. The firm has since its inception built strong momentum – establishing a presence in more than 65 countries and growing its team to over 3,000 professionals worldwide.

“Through this collaboration with Andersen Consulting, we gain access to global insight and leading practices while maintaining our commitment to local relevance, enabling us to help clients unlock growth, strengthen execution, and lead with confidence across the continent,” said Hasnayn Ebrahim, CEO and managing partner of Africa International Advisors.

Mark Vorsatz, chairman and CEO of Andersen (the parent of Andersen Consulting), said: “Few advisory firms combine a deep commitment to Africa’s unique challenges with a strong focus on practical, institutional transformation. The strategic expertise, sector knowledge, and dedication to impactful outcomes of Africa International Advisors strengthen our collective capacity to drive growth and resilience across the continent’s key industries.”

Last year, Africa International Advisors was named one of South Africa’s leading consulting firms by Consultancy.org.
