This milestone marks a major step in the Apex Group’s strategic growth across East Africa, reinforcing its commitment to delivering world-class solutions while investing in local talent and supporting economic development.
The new Rwanda office will provide clients with a comprehensive suite of innovative solutions, including Fund Administration, Corporate Services, Compliance Solutions, and ESG advisory services, pending approval from the regulatory authorities of the required licences.
