About Mbamti Gibson Mayo.
Financial Accountant. Founder & CEO of Gibson Mayo Financial Services. Chartered Marketer (CIM UK) and Business Analyst, with seven years of turning financial insights into strategic business growth across Ghana and Nigeria.
Built to be the financial backbone of African business.
I’m Mbamti Gibson Mayo, a Financial Accountant, Chartered Marketer (CIM UK), and Business Analyst with seven years of experience in financial accounting. I specialise in turning financial insights into strategic business growth, helping companies build strong financial foundations. From managing financial portfolios and optimising budgets to setting up efficient accounting systems, I focus on data-driven decisions that drive business success.
I started GMFS because I kept watching brilliant founders fail for the wrong reasons. Not because of bad products. Not because of poor hustle. But because their financial records were a mess. They couldn’t tell you their profit margin. They hadn’t filed taxes. They had no structure.
I made a decision: I was going to be the person who builds the financial backbone of the next generation of African businesses.
At GMFS we specialise in building the financial infrastructure of startups and small businesses in Ghana and Nigeria, from accounting structures and bookkeeping to tax compliance and making your financials investor-ready. We work with founders at their early stage, where the right foundation makes the difference between collapse and growth.
We do this through hands-on consultancy, structured account management, and training that holds your hand until the numbers feel like second nature.
Trained where it counts.

Three things every founder should be able to say.
- 01
“I know what my numbers mean.”
Not just what they are. The point of clean books isn't compliance, it's the questions they let you ask. Am I making money? Where? What's the cost of growth? Founders who can read their own reports make better decisions. Full stop.
- 02
“I price for the value I create.”
Most founders set prices by looking at competitors and discounting. That's not strategy, it's anxiety. Real pricing comes from understanding cost, value, and the margin your business needs to survive. We work backwards from there.
- 03
“I am ready for any room.”
Banks. Investors. Tax auditors. Buyers. None of these conversations should catch a founder unprepared. Investor-ready finances aren't a separate project, they're the natural result of clean monthly bookkeeping done correctly.
