How We Started
We started in as the finance department of GK Enchanted Farm, a social enterprise venture builder involved in industries like food and beverage, agriculture, tourism, and others.
We started with 3 members and we organized, administered and managed the back-office of the company. From then on, we evolved into a business unit that extends the same business support services to other social enterprises. Our team then spun off as Numbers that Matter Inc. in 2019.
Our Clients
We provide business consulting and support services to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), especially not-for profit organizations, social enterprises, and other organizations that do good. Based on our experience with GK Enchanted Farm, and working with other social enterprises, we’ve come to value partners that recognize their capacity to contribute to the greater good.
