She attends to her corporate and individual clients with the same keen eye for detail and takes the time to fully understand the unique needs of the clients that she serves. In a world where many are ‘too busy’, Nkatha has a way of making each of them a priority. She knows all her files by heart and you can always count on her to give a well thought out and timely response. She is a great listener and an even better instructor. You can rest assured that every interaction with her is guaranteed to leave you feeling heard and with a better understanding of whatever topic is on the table.
