Given our focus, we are able to consistently hand pick the most inspired team with a strong set of values to drive this single outcome.

If our promise is growth; our differentiator the team; then our relevance is that all of our work has been done in trusted relationship with CEOs of companies large and small.

What our clients say

  • “We have had the good fortune to work with Step, and particularly Graham Geldenhuys, which clarified both our strategic choices and what actions we should take. There were difficult decisions to be made but these were not left until consensus was reached. The sessions were very robust and the facilitation and contribution by Graham in particular was excellent. His in-depth knowledge of the Professional Services industry was a great help to us and we have built on that experience. We recommend Step without hesitation and will use them again in the future.”

    CEO, BDO

  • “The consultants supporting the Card TOM did an excellent job in assisting us to get the current Card TOM to its present level. They have a good understanding of the card businesses across Africa”

    GM: Conformance & Business Risk, Absa Card

  • “We enjoyed working with the Step team, they were practical in their approach and delivered some meaningful insights and recommendations at the end of their assignment. Their involvement in this specific project has been very beneficial to our business.”

    CEO, Rhodes Food Group

  • “It was a pleasure dealing with a team that executed their ideas and advice. We found Step practical, experienced and very focused on delivering tangible value”

    CEO, Vox Telecom

  • “It was a great experience working with the Step team. They were professional, practical, and highly resourceful. They assisted us in garnering new insights in an under researched and opaque market segment. Overall a pleasure to work with!”

    Investment Specialist, Investec

  • “It is really about the people on the team. This is what makes Step different from other consulting companies. The team is dynamic, ambitious and driven to achieve. They are bright people with passion and enthusiasm; talented people whom we would love to employ in our business”

    Exco Member, Investec

  • “We recently had the pleasure of working with Step to build a business plan and revenue model around the Forgood value proposition, both for potential investors and ourselves. They’re attentive, super intelligent and flexible enough to move at the speed we do. The best outcome was not so much the model, projections and investor deck (which was enormously useful) - but rather how clear it became what we SHOULDN’T do. The Step process gave us focus.”

    CEO, Forgood

  • “The Step team did not just do a due diligence on the target but took the time to consider who we are and what is important to us, and how that should reflect in their approach to the project and final recommendation. I valued their willingness to express a considered and transparent view on the investment, including potentially contentious issues. This sets them apart from other professional services firms.”

    CEO, Mertech

  • “The Step team once again went above and beyond what was required to help us evaluate a new market opportunity. They ensured that we were fully aware of all the implications of our decision and had a plan for mitigating all the potential risks”

    CEO, King Price
