The FINACTU Group brings its strategic advice to the heads of private companies, public institutions and governments, nourished by an intimate knowledge of Africa, its issues and its actors. In all the sectors in which we operate, our consultants confirm two key elements of the Group's "DNA", on which its success is built.

Tailor-made strategies for Africa

Our strategic advice is based on an intimate knowledge of Africa, its constraints and the degrees of freedom it allows, its dynamics and limits, the precautions it imposes and the opportunities it offers. Proud of a very strong field presence, a network of contacts at all levels and in all countries, we are the opposite of theoretical strategic advice; our goal is to offer our clients only winning strategies on a paradoxical continent, both difficult and rich in opportunities.

Strategies supported by numbers

Our strategic approach has always been based on harnessing existing quantitative data, in order to base our analyses and recommendations on demonstrable facts and not on intuition. Aware that quantitative material is rare in Africa, we have learned to research it efficiently and to optimize the exploitation that we make of it.

OUR REFERENCES

With a very strong African presence and vast knowledge of what it holds, our team has developed a special expertise in operational consulting. In almost 20 years of experience, we have demonstrated a culture of results and an ability to deliver on a continent where restraints and obstacles can be numerous. Our clients choose us for operational missions of implementation of a strategic axis, transformation or support for change, for the creation and the operation of new directions, but also sometimes for the creation of project in Greenfield or the complete management of a company undergoing restructuring.

The involvement of the FINACTU Group teams varies, from a permanent team over several years to more individual trips.
