About
Educator, researcher, Financial management professional, and business consultant
More than 18 years across teaching, research, consultancy, financial management, organizational leadership, and capacity development — including over a decade in management and technical leadership roles.
Profile
Advice grounded in responsibility for results
My work sits between three disciplines: financial management, organizational strategy, and applied research. In practice, clients rarely present a problem that belongs to only one of them. A weak reporting system is also a governance question; an ambitious growth plan is also a cash-flow question.
Alongside consultancy, I teach as Assistant Professor at Jigjiga University. That combination of academic and advisory work keeps recommendations tied to what organizations can realistically implement.
I founded Kuraz Consulting to deliver this work in a structured way — financial system design, feasibility studies, strategic planning, project management, research, and professional training.

Consulting philosophy
The report is not the result
Effective consulting should not end with a report. It should strengthen systems, transfer knowledge, support implementation, and help clients make better decisions independently.
