About accounting firms in East Africa

East African finance is one of the most innovative banking landscapes in the world. Kenya invented mobile money at scale with M-Pesa, the SACCO movement holds a meaningful share of regional savings, and a generation of fintech startups is building credit scoring, cross-border payments, insurance, and wealth platforms that compete with the incumbents. The traditional sector of banks, microfinance institutions and audit and accounting firms has had to modernise to keep up.

EABD's finance listings cover commercial banks, microfinance, SACCOs, insurance companies and brokers, fintech platforms, payment processors, investment advisory firms, accountants, and tax advisors. Verification on this category is taken seriously: we cross-check Central Bank, SACCO regulator, and IRA/IBSL/UIA registration where applicable, because trust matters more in finance than in any other category.

About Uganda

Uganda's economy is built on agriculture, growing manufacturing capacity, the oil discoveries in the Albertine Graben, and a vibrant Kampala-centred services sector. The country's central location makes it a hub for landlocked trade serving South Sudan, eastern DRC, Rwanda, and Burundi.

EABD lists verified Ugandan businesses across Central, Eastern, Northern, and Western regions, with deep coverage of Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono, Jinja, Mbarara, Gulu, and the other major urban centres. Verification cross-references URSB registration where applicable. The directory is built to help buyers find suppliers, investors find opportunities, and the Ugandan business community trade with each other and the wider East African region with confidence.
