Where we help
Four kinds of decisions, one standard of evidence.
Corporate finance and financing
Financing plans, bank and investor files, liquidity and reporting that stand up to a lender's questions.
Due diligence and transactions
Financial and commercial due diligence for acquisitions, investments and partnerships, including SYSCOHADA targets.
Europe–Africa cross-border
Market entry, partner selection, project financing files and reporting across the corridor.
Strategy and transformation
Growth strategy, performance and restructuring, and the use of AI in finance and management — each tied to a business case.
Europe–Africa
A corridor that rewards preparation.
Trade between Germany and Africa reached a record €63.4 bn in 2025, and investment into the continent remains well above its long-term average. The opportunities are real; so are the differences in accounting, law and market practice. We help European and African clients read both sides with the same rigour.

The founder
Every meaningful journey begins somewhere. Mine begins in Kouroundé, a village in central Mali, in the region known as the Pays Dogon, where my father grew up.
Fertility creates potential. Position creates opportunity. Strategy turns both into growth.
