An international group operating since 2003, headquartered in New York.
01 — About
Facts about the group's activity are stated per the official JOI Consulting Group website.
JOI Consulting Group is an international consulting group that has been operating since 2003. The practice brings finance, law, tax, audit, economic security and technology together into a single engagement — from analysis through to risk management.
JOI Consulting Group — Kazakhstan & Central Asia — is the regional practice that connects the group's international expertise with partners on the ground. That allows mandates to run in both directions: bringing international capital and expertise into the region, and supporting regional businesses on international markets.
The firm does not offer standard solutions. Strategy is built from the goals, risk level and investment horizon of a specific client.
The group supports investment projects from concept through to profitability.
Each solution is the result of analysing your goals, risk level and horizon.
An international partner network opens projects unavailable on the open market.
