Operations & back office
The repeatable work that keeps a company running: processing, checking, filing and closing it out.
Abeko · Nairobi, Kenya
Partners in every venture. Rooted in Nairobi, working across Africa.
Abeko is a Nairobi-based company that partners with businesses across Africa, the UK, Europe and the US. Whatever your business needs done, we take it on and run it as if it were our own. You get one accountable team and one point of contact, so you can stop juggling suppliers.
Our vision
A partner, not a supplier
Every business reaches a point where there is more to do than people to do it. Abeko steps in as a partner. We learn how your business works, take on the work you hand us, and run it as if it were our own.
That work can be anything a business needs done: running operations, keeping the books, finding customers, hiring people, building systems. You deal with one team and one point of contact, and you can grow what we do for you over time.
We also partner with organisations that train young people, women and refugees in digital skills, so that growing our work creates real jobs.

Partnerships for impact
Growing work that creates jobs
Across Africa, NGOs are training young people, women and refugees in digital and professional skills. What many graduates still lack is a first real job. That is where Abeko comes in.
- We are building partnerships with NGOs that run digital inclusion and skills programmes.
- Their graduates can join real client work at Abeko, with supervision and a clear path to grow.
- Our clients get dependable work done, and every new venture we take on helps open more jobs.
If you run a training programme or an NGO and want to work together, we would like to hear from you.

Where the work happens
Kenya sits on the equator on Africa’s east coast. Nairobi, the capital, is the country’s business and technology centre, and it is our home base.

- Well connectedSeveral international subsea cables reach Kenya’s coast, and Nairobi has extensive fibre and mobile coverage.
Why Nairobi?
Six reasons we chose Nairobi as home
Cost is part of it, but not the biggest part. Nairobi has the people and the infrastructure to run real operations.
Clear on the phone and in writing
English is an official language of Kenya and the language of business, law and higher education. Your customers and colleagues are understood the first time.
Graduates who want to build careers
Nairobi's universities and colleges turn out graduates in business, accounting, IT and communications every year, and many are keen to build careers in global services.
A working day that meets yours
Kenya's time zone doesn't shift for daylight saving. Nairobi is 2-3 hours ahead of London and 7-8 hours ahead of New York, so the overlap with your business hours stays predictable all year.
Fibre, subsea cables and 4G/5G
Several subsea cables land at Mombasa, and Nairobi has wide fibre and 4G/5G coverage. We plan for backup internet and power at our sites.
Lower costs, same standard
Lower operating and salary costs than the US, UK or Western Europe mean you can add coverage, hours or whole functions for far less than an onshore hire.
A priority sector for Kenya
Kenya Vision 2030 names business process outsourcing and IT-enabled services as a priority sector, and the Konza Technopolis and special economic zones are built to attract it. The Data Protection Act, 2019 sets clear rules for handling personal data.

How we work
Principles we work by
Do the work properly
Quality comes before growth. We would rather do fewer things well than many things badly.
Be honest with people
Clients, colleagues and partners get straight answers, including when the answer is that we are not the right fit.
Build for the long term
We invest in people and in Nairobi, and we take on new kinds of work only when we can do them properly.
