BOKS International is delighted to announce that GNIUS, a specialist firm supporting foreign businesses in Kazakhstan, has joined the alliance. The firm is led by Walter van Dijk and represents an exciting new venture from an existing BOKS member, LowLands Accounting Services, further strengthening the alliance’s regional presence and capabilities across Central Asia.
Established in 2006 by Dutch founders, GNIUS has built a reputation for delivering high-quality, client-centric consultancy services. With deep experience in assisting foreign companies from a wide range of sectors, GNIUS offers expert guidance in navigating Kazakhstan’s unique regulatory and business environment. The firm’s English-speaking professionals are known for their proactive approach and exceptional service standards.
What sets GNIUS apart is its integrated support model. Beyond accounting, the firm leverages a strong network of local partners to offer broader business advisory services – ensuring clients receive not only accurate financial reporting but also a well-rounded perspective on operating successfully in Kazakhstan.
Walter van Dijk, Founder of GNIUS, comments:
“Through our presence in the region since as early as 2006, we have always been closely watching the developments in Kazakhstan. In recent years, Kazakhstan has emerged as a highly attractive destination for international business, driven by its abundant natural resources, strategic location and investor-friendly policies. To support foreign businesses entering this dynamic market, we opened our GNIUS Kazakhstan office in 2024. Currently we operate both in the capital, Astana, as well as in the primary business hub, Almaty. We assist companies at every stage of their journey in Kazakhstan, whether exploring the market through employer-of-record services or local distributor partnerships, or fully committing through incorporation and accounting support. Our team welcomes businesses of all sizes and stages of engagement, offering tailored guidance to help you succeed in Kazakhstan’s vibrant business landscape.”
Richard Sergeant, Alliance Director at BOKS International, adds:
“Walter has long been a valuable part of our alliance, and we are thrilled to support this new chapter. GNIUS adds depth and regional knowledge to our Central Asian coverage, enhancing our ability to serve clients in this fast-developing market.”
Launched in 2017, the rapidly growing alliance has over 100 members in more than 70 countries and a combined fee income exceeding $600 million, ranking within the IAB’s Global Top 20.
