In the bustling landscape of South African entrepreneurship, stories that inspire and uplift are plentiful, but few stand out like the journey of Nedoboni Ndivhuwo, the CEO of Value-able Consulting. From humble beginnings in a home office to a thriving enterprise with over 1,566 clients, Ndivhuwo’s story is a testament to the transformative power of determination and support, exemplified by the Black Umbrellas programme.
Value-able Consulting was conceived in 2018 when Nedoboni Ndivhuwo and his partner, Mulondi Nthulana, noticed a critical gap in the market. Smaller clients were often neglected, missing out on the benefits enjoyed by larger firms. Determined to address this disparity, Ndivhuwo and Nthulana focused on prioritizing these smaller clients, promising excellent service, quick turnaround times, and thorough compliance education. Their mission was clear: to become South Africa’s premier Accounting, Auditing, Tax, and Compliance firm.
The Role of Black Umbrellas
Recognizing their potential and dedication, the Black Umbrellas programme became a pivotal force in their journey. By May 2019, Value-able Consulting was nurtured within this supportive environment, which provided not only workspace but also invaluable business knowledge and resources. This support was instrumental in their transition to a dedicated office space in Kildrummy Office Park, Paulshof, Sandton, South Africa in 2021, marking a significant milestone in their growth.
Remarkable Growth and Resilience
Under Ndivhuwo’s leadership, Value-able Consulting has seen extraordinary growth. Starting with just five small clients in its first month, the firm now boasts a client base of over 1,566, serving sectors ranging from SMMEs and individuals to NPOs, schools, and public sectors. Their comprehensive services include accounting, tax, audit, advisory, and secretarial functions, ensuring compliance and excellence.
The firm’s ability to adapt and thrive during the challenging times of the Covid-19 pandemic highlights their resilience and innovative use of technology. This adaptability has been a cornerstone of their success, allowing them to continue growing and supporting their clients despite adverse conditions.
Empowering Others
Beyond business success, Value-able Consulting is dedicated to empowerment. They have created numerous job opportunities, established a learning environment for graduates, and implemented a mentorship program that promotes skills transfer and on-the-job training. This culture of growth and development is a key component of their ethos.
They are currently training 450 students where they are training them in Limpopo, South Africa on new venture creation, hairdressing and commercial cleaning in partnership with the University of Venda.
Overcoming Challenges
Like any entrepreneurial journey, Ndivhuwo’s path was not without obstacles. Finding staff that aligned with the company’s vision and dealing with late-paying clients were significant challenges. However, these hurdles only spurred further growth and refinement, pushing the team to exceed expectations and deliver exceptional service.
An Entrepreneurial Spirit
Ndivhuwo’s passion for empowering others is a driving force behind his success. He believes in the power of individual actions to create a ripple effect of positive change. His advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is clear: never give up, and be willing to make sacrifices. Perseverance, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of one’s dreams are essential for success.
Diversification and Expansion
Value-able Consulting’s achievements extend beyond its core business. They will celebrate their two-year anniversary of Marshall Barbers within the next few weeks, a high-end barbershop frequented by local celebrities, and launched Delight Training Academy, an institution focused on professional development and nurturing future entrepreneurs.
