Hani Farouk Kozman
Managing Partner at Kozman & Co. - SFAI Egypt
I joined my late father's audit business, "Farouk Kozman & Co.", which he founded in 1970, in 2006, and was fortunate enough to learn from him all the industry secrets and keys to success. When I took over the company and was responsible for its rebranding and reorganization in terms of workers and customers, I grew to appreciate the industry more. This is when I conducted a comprehensive market analysis and was able to modify our audit firm's approach by adopting the methodology and technology of the big four companies while keeping a reasonable price cap compared to market rates.
My company is now a member of SFAI, an international network of accountants and consultants, and the "forum of businesses." I am operating the company with a robust staff of professionals and a diverse clientele of high-caliber customers. I assist well-known companies with audits and taxes. I am pleased to announce that I am an expert in my profession and have won the esteem of my peers throughout the years. Several decades ago, I saw an alarming lack of financial savvy among business owners! Numerous companies fail despite having a brilliant concept and exerting much effort.
I identified the crucial element of failure, which is numbers!!
I participated in the ecosystem, taught several workshops, and even gave a TED Talk to raise awareness of the significance of appropriate accounting, booking, and financial reporting regardless of the size of the organization. These are, to say the least, the compass points of every firm.
Ultimately, I became the Godfather of "Benchmark Consultancy," a subsidiary of our worldwide network, SFAI. Benchmark provides accounting, finance, and chief financial officer (CFO) services to startups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that outsource their financials to concentrate on their everyday operations. Throughout the last five years, we have guided many companies, and we are pleased with their continuous success. Our satisfaction derives from being successful partners.
The network's reasonable prices and customer-centric approach enable me the luxury of mentoring startups.

My career began in college as a Citibank Egypt intern. During summer internships, I worked in customer service, credit cards, and IT.
After I graduated from college in 1995, I went to work for PWC (then called Coopers & Lybrand – Farid Mansour) as a USAID auditor for many governorates in Egypt.
I left Egypt in 1996 to become an external auditor at Ernst & Young Kuwait. I audited banks, investment firms, real estate developers, manufacturers, and contractors. I started working in 2000. Group plc (FTSE 100 company with a secondary NYSE listing).
JWT MENA is a Middle East and North Africa holding company. JWT is a global ad agency. I started at JWT MENA as an internal auditor, then moved to finance as a financial reporting and analysis manager, assistant chief financial officer, and chief financial officer of the JWT Kuwait Agency.
In 2008, I joined one of the largest real estate investment organizations in the Gulf area, with assets in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. The group's investments included real estate investment, development, hospitality (Radisson Blu hotels in the Gulf, Jumeirah Hotel in Kuwait), and historical listed properties such as the Tobacco Docks in the UK and The Palace of Baden Baden (Neues Schloss). The group renovated such listed properties for the purpose of developing annexed hotels and using the properties for events. I've been involved in financial and business studies as well as the first stage of construction of a state-of-the-art hospital in Sharjah and another in Kuwait with multiple divisions and specialisations (Clinics, Surgical Procedure Theaters, Rehabilitation Center for both physical and mental rehab, wellness center).
After 2013, I thought about starting an outsourced professional firm to help startups and growing companies keep good accounting records, work within a framework of well-defined and tailored policies and procedures, and use financial analysis tools to help entrepreneurs evaluate business performance as a key to growth.
In 2015, he co-founded Benchmark Consultancy LLC. Benchmark is a new accounting business in Egypt. It's tied to incubation and acceleration programmes in Egypt, such as MINT by EGBANK and FEPS by the Faculty of Economics and Political Science.
I helped create and build Benchmark Consultancy LLC. I created its service-providing strategy, educated its personnel, and handled its accounting and financial technology. The organisation advises over 50 monthly customers in advertising, agricultural, IT, IT, construction, manufacturing, and more.
