3. The Zimbabwe Taxes Digital Interface (ZTDI) is a burgeoning virtual expert network
for tax and accounting proffessionals. The network was formerly set up in the
month of February 2015. Our network’s headquarters is in Harare at 42 Sam
.
ZTDI opened up its network to members in September 2019 and has gradually
since then build a steady following on the online community. We endured
years of zero membership and we took this opportunity to enhance our online
platform’s capabilities in terms of user accounts security features and overall network stability.
We are pleased that our hard work for the past ve years is now gradually paying off
as evident in the increase of membership on our online community over the past twelve months.
We are excited about our new set of services which we will be launching to corporate clients.
in the year 2021. We envisage our numbers to substantially increase owing to an
inux of corporates who instead of joining individually as per normal will be joining the
network in groups of tens, twenties, thirties or even bigger groups especially for

corporations with large numbers in their nance teams.

Personality
You are dealing with characters of note! We
are people who enjoy what we do. It is in the
backdrop of our passion that we have
managed to put together a team of tax,
accounting and software experts to build the
expert network.
Experience
Our team of experts have extensive
knowledge and skills with decades in
experience of providing technical support
services to both listed and unlisted
companies as well as local and foreign
entities.
Our team building coaches have received
certication by professional bodies after
attaining plenty of hours training teams of up
to 600 members. Their approach to team
building is one of the best in the country as
evident in the engagements they receive f
rom some of the largest and reputable
organisations in Zimbabwe.
Tons of Value
We have tons of value to offer to nance
teams which come in the form of a closed
virtual community. Under this community the
team receives constant tax and accounting
technical support from our seasoned
member experts.
In addition we have team building sessions
within the nance team’s communities. Our
network provides Quarterly Technical and
Knowledge Appraisals (QTKA). This we do to
ensure that nance team members are up to
date with changes in tax and accounting
policies.
Our network is designed with your desire to
develop a robust nance team in mind. We
provide technical support which is most
relevant to your nance team. We do this
through our interactive expert network as
team members make inquiries during the
Professionals Inquiries Window (PIW) while
Experts provide feedback during the Experts
Opinion Window (EOW). We do this every
quarter of the year.
Personal Connection
We are vested in actual experience. The
biggest currency is personal connection. We
offer a little extra of the kind that catches the
eye .

The Zimbabwe Taxes Digital Interface intends to create a professional technical
support expert network for a variety of skills including taxation, accounting, human resources and
other elds which require expert opinion. The expert network will digitally interface experts and
clients within a secure, convenient and efcient online community. We believe technical updates
are critical to productivity especially in an ever-changing technological and economic
environment .
While college education plays a crucial role by equipping one with the basic fundamentals required
to execute their duties, we believe it can never be a substitute to industry technical support and
consistent updates. Hence our value proposition is to bridge the gap between college and the
current technical requirements which arise owing to changes in the business’ operating
environment thereby helping our clients mitigate any potential nancial exposure. We seek a fair
and responsible prot, enough to keep the expert network nancially healthy for the short and long
term, and to fairly compensate the founders and investors for the money and risk.

Market Analysis
The ZTDI is one of the few virtual expert networks in Zimbabwe. While tax and accounting rms
provide technical support, we do not directly compete against the rms as we provide the virtual
platform through which these experts interface with clients. The market is saturated with
consultants and it is from this pool where we handpick the nest of the consultants for our clients.
The ZTDI has positioned itself in the market as a one shop for tax, accounting and team building
requirements for businesses. To date there is limited competition in the space which the business
and instead of working against the the potential competitors we have a model that works with them
as expert members in our virtual community.
Market Needs
In the wake of the COVI-19 pandemic,
most business models have become digital.
We anticipate an increased appertite for the expert network
from both the expert members and clients
As an aftermath of the pandemic most businesses will look
to optimize nancial budgets. Our model delivers tons of value
to the entire nance department. This is cost efcient as there in no need to
sponsor technical support a on an individual basis as our network caters
for the entire nance team
