In 2009, Stransact Chartered Accountants began its journey in a modest apartment at Mende, Maryland, Lagos, with a vision of delivering top-tier professional services to clients across Nigeria.
As we approach the end of our second decade, we are excited to announce a significant milestone in our firm’s evolution—our move to the Central Business District (CBD) at 11B, Oko Awo street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Reflecting on Our Growth
From our humble beginnings, Stransact has experienced consistent growth year after year, mirroring one of our core values—continuous development. This move is not just about changing locations; it is a testament to the achievements we’ve realized in recent years. The growth we’ve seen has not only expanded our services but also demanded a space that reflects our ambition and the future we envision for our firm.
Why the Move to Victoria Island?
The decision to relocate to Victoria Island was driven by both challenges and opportunities. As a firm committed to providing exceptional service, we recognized the need to position ourselves closer to key industry stakeholders and business giants. The Central Business District of Lagos is the heart of the nation’s financial and commercial activity, and being at the center allows us to better serve our clients and empower them for the future.
Our new location enhances our ability to connect with industry leaders, providing us with immediate access to insights that are critical to our clients’ success. The proximity to a concentrated hub of business activity will allow us to foster stronger relationships, anticipate industry trends, and deliver solutions that are both timely and impactful.
Moreover, the move places us in a prime location for business, enabling us to support our firm’s impressive growth and steady expansion. The new office is equipped with upgraded conference facilities, advanced technology, and additional space to accommodate our growing team. This environment will foster better collaboration and innovation, which are crucial as we continue to expand our services and clientele.
Aligning with Our Global Vision
As the correspondent firm of RSM International in Nigeria, our affiliation with a global brand compels us to operate on a global standard. This move is a strategic step towards becoming a global brand and an industry leader. By positioning ourselves in a central, accessible location, we are better equipped to serve industry leaders and provide insights that empower our clients to thrive in a rapidly changing business landscape.
Stransact, now in its 16th year of operation, will leverage this new space to provide expanded services and facilitate both internal and external collaboration. The modern, aesthetic design of our office is not just about appearance—it reflects our commitment to growth, innovation, and the continuous improvement of our services.
Enhancing Client Service
For a professional services firm, being in a prime area like Victoria Island is more than just a prestigious address—it’s a strategic advantage. The Central Business District is where major decisions are made, where business leaders converge, and where the pulse of the economy is felt most strongly. By situating our firm in this dynamic environment, we enhance our ability to stay at the forefront of industry developments, respond swiftly to client needs, and offer solutions that are informed by the latest market trends.
Looking Ahead
This move is perfectly aligned with our long-term plan to become a global brand. As our Managing Partner, Eben Joels, aptly stated, “We’re truly happy and excited to relocate to our new office space in Victoria Island. More than anything, this move represents our continued ironclad commitment to serving our clients and helping them foster business growth through our technology-supported financial expertise and experience-backed business consulting services.”
He further emphasized, “The move stems from our unprecedented growth in the last year and will enable us to maintain closer contact with our customers. Besides, our new corporate headquarters captures the essence of who and what we are as a brand.”
A Strategic Future
As we inch towards our second decade in business, Stransact Chartered Accountants remains focused on serving companies and organizations of all sizes. Our plans include expanding our market presence in key sectors such as energy, mining and industries, essential services, technology, media, telecommunications, manufacturing, retail, financial services, government, and public services. Additionally, we remain committed to mentoring the next generation of professionals who will carry our legacy forward.
This move to Victoria Island is more than just a change of address; it’s a strategic step forward in our journey of growth, innovation, and global impact. We look forward to continuing our mission of empowering our clients to take charge of change and achieve their business goals.
