Why she started the company
Manyara's reasons for launching her company went wy beyond money. "The need to have some financial independence and be able to use my time for the benefit of others and directing my destiny made me start my own business," she explain.
Based in the city of Harare, her company's mission is to provide independent and customized financial advice, financial restructuring, audit, tax advisory, finance and accounting and other services to institutions, businesses and individuals.
Beating the challenge
Being a woman is always a challenge when starting a business, especially in a third world country.
Manyara says her biggest challenge was separating her business from other accounting firms in the eyes of customers. Her goal was to not just offer accounting services but to also work with her clients to make them grow and become successful. It worked!
She say she has increased business by also being open and honest with all her clients.
Proud and willing to inspire others
Manyara is proud to be a woman owner of an accounting firm, and to have her firm registered and accredited to be a training office for trainee accountants.
She has more than 15 years of experience in financial management, accounting, auditing and taxation. And, she is more than willing to share her knowledge with other aspiring entrepreneurs - especially women!
