GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT

LEADERSHIP BEHIND THE FIRM

Managing Financial Infrastructure, Not Just Capacity.

Syndia Alexandre | Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Founded and led by Syndia Alexandre, Kontab Advisory draws on more than 15 years of financial management experience and over $100 million in financial oversight across nonprofit, corporate, technology, education, and public accounting environments.

Her experience spans accounting, reporting, planning, treasury management, internal controls, compliance, and executive oversight across multi-program, distributed, and transitional operations. This work revealed a recurring structural gap: organizational requirements frequently evolve faster than the financial infrastructure supporting them.

Kontab Advisory was founded to close that gap—establishing and sustaining the financial environment required for reliable decision-making, accountable governance, and operational continuity.

ENGAGEMENT SCOPE & DELIVERY MODEL

Scope Determination
Client responsibilities and potential staffing efficiencies are driven by verified organizational requirements and an agreed-upon engagement scope, rather than predetermined packages, hourly blocks, or fractional allocations. Full-service, ongoing engagements typically start around $5,000 per month.

Delivery & Access
Our evidence-based model pairs verified operational needs with a remote executive partnership. Deliverables include direct executive access, structured team coordination, and regular leadership strategy meetings, typically scheduled weekly.

Integrated Capabilities
Capabilities are not offered as standalone or fragmented services. They operate as a unified system of coordinated responsibilities connected through defined accountabilities, documented workflows,and structured oversight.

PROFESSIONAL SCOPE & BOUNDARIES

Independent Assurance & Legal Limits
Kontab Advisory does not directly provide financial statement audits, reviews, attestations, or other independent assurance engagements. While we support audit readiness and coordinate with external auditors, this support does not guarantee a specific audit opinion. Additionally, we do not provide legal advice or legal representation.

Investment & Standalone Tax Limits
Kontab Advisory does not provide regulated investment advisory services, securities recommendations, or standalone tax advisory. Tax preparation is provided solely as an integrated component of active, ongoing client engagements.

External Specialist Coordination
Where specialized tax expertise, legal counsel, independent auditing, or investment advisory is required, Kontab Advisory coordinates with the client’s designated external specialists. Such coordination does not replace or alter the independent judgment or professional responsibilities of those specialists.
