Evidence Njenge

Evidence Njenge is an accomplished audit professional whose career reflects unwavering discipline, consistency, and a steadfast commitment to excellence. She joined SNG Grant Thornton in 2015 as a trainee accountant and progressed through the firm with distinction, developing extensive institutional knowledge and a deep understanding of audit quality and client service.

Her early career was characterised by a desire to master technical fundamentals and a strong work ethic, which contributed to her promotion to Manager shortly after completing her articles. A significant achievement in her professional journey was the successful completion of the IRBA Audit Development Programme on her first attempt, an accomplishment that underscored her technical capability, dedication and capacity for growth. She was later appointed Senior Manager, where she led complex engagements across both the public and private sectors. These responsibilities strengthened her professional judgement, leadership proficiency and strategic perspective, ultimately preparing her for her current role as Director.

Her leadership is grounded in integrity, accountability and a commitment to doing what is right, consistently and without compromise. Evidence is driven by the pursuit of excellence in audit quality, the development of emerging leaders and the cultivation of trusted client relationships. These values align closely with her responsibilities as a Director and guide her approach to decision‑making, mentorship and strategic contribution.

Outside of her professional responsibilities, Evidence values time with family and close relationships, which provide balance and grounding. She maintains a focus on wellbeing through reflection, faith and intentional prioritisation of personal renewal, recognising that sustained high performance requires both professional dedication and personal equilibrium.

As a Director at SNG Grant Thornton, she is energised by the opportunity to contribute to the broader strategic direction of the firm. She is particularly passionate about shaping audit quality, mentoring future leaders and supporting firm‑wide initiatives. The firm’s CLEARR values, especially collaboration, accountability and respect, serve as a guiding framework for her leadership approach. These principles inform how she engages with teams, manages change and participates in strategic discussions.

Reflecting on her journey, one piece of advice she would offer her younger self is to trust the process and remain consistent. She believes that growth often happens gradually, and that discipline, integrity and a willingness to learn create meaningful long‑term impact. Her career stands as a testament to perseverance, curiosity and purpose‑driven leadership.
