About us
Inovest is a modern advisory group built for leaders navigating complexity and growth. We sit at the intersection of strategy, finance and execution, helping founders and operators turn ambition into direction and direction into disciplined action.
Across Consulting Co, Virtual CFO, Dubai Advisory and InoDesk, we pair analytical rigour with commercial judgement. Boutique in scale and rigorous in method, Inovest equips ambitious teams with the clarity to move deliberately and the confidence to move fast.
Our process
Bringing together craftsmanship and technology, we move from conversation to clarity, then into structured execution. We map the moving parts, quantify the upside and risk, and surface the bottlenecks and growth levers that data alone can’t see.
We apply today’s tools to a client’s tomorrow — combining model-driven analysis, intelligent automation and human judgement. The result is a repeatable strategy cycle and a pace of decision-making that matches modern technological acceleration.

Case Studies
from asset acquisition to to value realization:
A Strategic Roadmap for Stockpile Monetisation
A private consortium exploring the acquisition of a mineral stockpile sought clarity on monetisation pathways and long-term capital strategy. We developed a fact-based investment thesis supported by multi-channel revenue models and macroeconomic pricing forecasts, enabling the client to evaluate various offtake structures and time horizons. Our work included building robust DCF and scenario models, architecting a flexible corporate structure to unlock mezzanine debt or equity syndication, and conducting industry trend analysis to frame risk through stress testing. The result was a structured, data-backed roadmap for navigating price volatility and enhancing strategic optionality — enabling stakeholders to confidently advance toward value creation in a volatile asset class.
reframing petrochemical export models from spot trading to contracted resilience:
A petrochemical exporter operating on spot-market dynamics sought guidance in structuring longer-term, scalable commercial relationships. We reframed the client’s approach by emphasising strategic resilience, suppressing price volatility, and enhancing deal transparency. Our support included aligning documentation flows with SGS and dip-testing standards, advising on regulatory compliance, and reshaping commercial conversations toward long-term offtake partnerships over transactional sales. The result was a scalable commercial architecture that strengthens counterparty confidence, reduces price exposure, and anchors revenue predictability through contractual relationships.
repositioning student housing as scalable lifestyle infrastructure in a competitive market:
A local property developer sought to redevelop a commercial building into student accommodation but aimed to reset the market standard rather than merely compete. We delivered a holistic redevelopment strategy comprising capex modelling, financing pathways, public university partnerships, and lean cost engineering through purchasing controls and efficiency models. By repositioning the project from conventional accommodation to a “Student Lifestyle Centre” and grounding the pricing model in student-preference insights, we created a differentiated, service-led proposition that preserves build quality while optimising returns. The result was not just a single high-performing asset, but a scalable and marketable blueprint for addressing South Africa’s growing demand for student accommodation at scale — setting a new benchmark for category leadership and investor appeal.
