Shakespeare Communications has announced that CompassPoint Consulting has joined its growing client roster. As part of the engagement, the consultancy will manage the firm’s international communications strategy and thought leadership initiatives.
Headquartered in Dubai, CompassPoint Consulting operates across the UK and the GCC, offering specialised advisory services including fractional CFO support, financial planning and analysis (FP&A), and operational transformation for companies in growth phases.
The boutique advisory firm partners with founders and senior executives to help growth-stage organisations navigate complex markets with improved financial clarity, stronger operational frameworks, and strategic financial insight. Its expertise spans multiple service-based sectors.
CompassPoint Consulting was founded by experienced finance leaders Zaid Aboobaker and Zain ul Abideen. The firm combines deep corporate finance experience with a flexible advisory approach aimed at helping companies expand sustainably while maintaining strong financial discipline.
Commenting on the partnership, Aboobaker said, “Compass Point Consulting was founded on a simple belief – that businesses don’t fail because they lack vision, but because they lack the financial structure and operational clarity needed to sustain growth.”
He added, “As we expand across the GCC, it’s important that our expertise and experience reach a wider audience of founders and decision-makers. Shakespeare Communications stood out to us for its strategic thinking, media relationships, and ability to translate complex business ideas into clear, compelling narratives.”
Through this collaboration, Shakespeare Communications will support CompassPoint with media outreach, executive profiling, and thought leadership initiatives across international business and financial publications.
Speaking about the new client relationship, Ananda Shakespeare said, “CompassPoint represents exactly the kind of high-calibre, intellectually serious business we love working with.”
She further noted, “Zaid, Zain and their team bring a rare blend of strategic finance expertise and real operational experience, helping founders and leadership teams move from ambition to execution.”
The partnership will focus on strengthening CompassPoint’s global visibility through media commentary, contributed articles, and executive interviews addressing topics such as strategic finance, scaling businesses in the GCC, and the growing importance of fractional leadership models.
Shakespeare added, “As the UAE continues to attract global entrepreneurs and scale-ups, the need for clear financial leadership and disciplined growth has never been greater. We are delighted to help tell CompassPoint’s story and position the firm as a trusted voice in the evolving global conversation around business growth and financial strategy.”
With a proven track record of helping scale high-growth businesses, the partnership is expected to provide CompassPoint with enhanced strategic visibility and access to broader industry networks, further strengthening its mission to support transformative and sustainable business growth.
