Our Story

Mankee Advisory’s journey began in the 1960s in Woodbrook when a small family business, named after our founder’s grandmother, took its first steps. While it started with our founder’s grandparents and their children, unforeseen complexities in estate planning created challenges. Driven by the desire to prevent other family businesses from enduring this, the founder of Mankee Advisory, embarked on this mission. Through specialised legal advice and comprehensive estate planning, Mankee Advisory has centred its core values on communication, expertise and trustworthiness. Mankee Advisory advocates for transparent dialogue, strategic planning, and legal vigilance to empower families and businesses to thrive, foster harmony, and safeguard their wealth.
