Khanya Business Consulting · Clarity. Strategy. Growth.

Bringing clarity to your business, your finances, and your legacy.

Where financial clarity meets purposeful growth. Whether you're registering your first company or running one that's outgrown its systems, Khanya gives you CFO-level guidance without the CFO salary.

Gladiola Vilani, founder of Khanya Business Consulting

Most businesses are run in the dark

Not because owners aren't capable. Because nobody ever handed them the financial and operational structure a business actually needs to grow.

So the paperwork sits unfinished. The numbers only get looked at when something goes wrong. Decisions get made on instinct because there's no clear picture to work from. It's not a lack of effort, it's a lack of the right person in your corner.

That's the gap Khanya fills.

One expert. Your whole back office, sorted.

Khanya is led by Gladiola Vilani, a CFO, HR Director and business systems consultant with 30+ years of executive experience. The kind of person large companies keep on their board, now working for your business at a fraction of the cost.

She takes the parts most owners dread off your plate. Getting compliant. Making sense of the numbers. Building the systems that let the business run without you holding every piece together. You get clear strategies, tighter processes, and the confidence that comes from finally seeing the full picture.

Where we can help

Start with what's urgent. Move into what's next when you're ready. Nothing here requires you to commit to more than you need right now.

Business Start-Up

Get properly registered and compliant, without the guesswork.

Three fixed packages covering everything from core registration to full B-BBEE and Beneficial Ownership compliance. Pick the one that matches where you are.

Business Consultancy

Build something fundable and fit to grow.

A professional brand, or a scoped business plan and investor-ready package. Start with a brand, or go straight to a plan that opens doors.

Financial & Advisory

Find the leaks. Fix the gaps. Run a tighter business.

The Full Business Diagnostic, then ongoing CFO advisory, HR and systems support for businesses already up and running. This is where the real advisory relationship begins.

Three ways in. See the full range for where you fit.

Expert advice. Executive results. Without the executive price tag.

Most of what holds a business back isn't a lack of money. It's the absence of structure, discipline, and someone who knows where to look. That's what you're actually buying here.

What clients say

After we became their Virtual CFO

She cleared four audit findings that had sat unresolved for two years. Our auditors turned them into commendations. A CFO without the cost of a full-time CFO.

— Chairperson, MRM

After we built their business from the ground up

We came with an idea and not much else. Within three months of her documentation package, we'd secured our first corporate client. Gladiola produces the foundation your business is built on.

— Director, Mzamo Tracking (Pty) Ltd

After a full business diagnostic

The most comprehensive diagnostic we've ever received. For the first time in three years we submitted a clean, auditor-ready pack. She understands the pressures nonprofits face.

— Director, TIMIA
