At F&J, we believe that in Africa, the adoption of management best practices and business decisions duly informed by relevant data can be key competitive advantages. This is why, at the request of private equity funds or entrepreneurs, our consultants leverage their experience in operations to assist companies tackling various issues.
Areas of Expertise
Revenue growth can be achieved through an increase in sales volumes and/or prices. F&J thoroughly analyses your industry and market’s drivers, and works hands in hands with you to design strategies aiming at increasing your sales.
We complete companies 360° diagnostics using the FUNDES methodology. Endorsed by various donors, including the European Union, that methodology helps identify critical areas for improvement in a company’s management and infer key interventions needed to unlock performance. We make ourselves available to assist the diagnosed companies in carrying out those interventions in areas such as: strategy, marketing and sales, finance, human resources, etc. We have supported dozens of Ivorian SMEs through that methodology.
Nous avons dans ce cadre accompagné diverses PME affiliées à la Confédération Générale des Entreprises de Côte d’Ivoire (CGECI).
Following an analysis of the individual profitability of your products and services, we help you develop and implement a margins’ improvement plan. Through a complete review of your operations, we spot cost optimization areas, which can as diverse as: inventory, customer service level, logistics, operations bottlenecks, compensation policy.
A company’s operational efficiency lies in its ability to design and enforce rigorous operational procedures that guarantee good service quality and protect the company’s assets, while clarifying employees’ responsibilities. F&J will assist you in restructuring your organization chart and revising your operational and financial procedures manuals, by putting a particular emphasis on areas of improvement identified during our initial diagnosis.
Beside inappropriate strategies, lack of liquidity and inadequate capital structure are the most common reasons for corporate failures. Proper management of working capital requirements is critical to business survival. Unfortunately, many
companies are ill-equipped to draft clients and suppliers’ contracts that respond to their cash flow requirements, or to negotiate banking conditions that fit their needs. By reviewing your activity, our consultants help you understand your cash conversion cycle, assess your terms of payment and revenue collection, and reduce your inventory level without compromising on service quality. F&J also assists you in bank negotiations, so as to optimize your financial costs.
