Senior consulting at the intersection of deep industry knowledge, accounting systems expertise, and practical technology implementation — serving clients across Southern and East Africa, and internationally.
I'm Anthony Sterne — a senior business and strategy consultant based in Durban, South Africa, with a practice built on something genuinely rare: I work at the intersection of three disciplines that most consultants only bring one of.
For two decades I've worked inside the hospitality industry — restaurants and hotels — understanding the operational, commercial, and financial pressures from the inside. Alongside that, I've spent thirty years implementing and optimising accounting systems for businesses of all sizes. And threaded through both is a deep engagement with technology: digital transformation, systems integration, and the practical application of AI.
I work on a referral basis, which means every engagement is grounded in genuine fit. Clients receive direct access to me — not a junior team — and I bring the same senior judgement to every project, from Durban to Nairobi.
The intersection of all three is where real business transformation happens.
Focused engagements built around your specific business challenge — whether that's a system, a strategy, a team, or a transformation.
Many engagements are delivered in a hybrid model — combining on-site presence where it matters with remote delivery for efficiency. I've worked with clients who are local and with businesses whose operations span multiple countries.
If you've been referred to me, or you're reaching out to explore whether there's a fit, I'd like to hear from you. I respond to every enquiry personally.
