Financial challenges holding back your growth

Many African SMEs face the same structural financial issues. TFA Management Services is designed to solve them.

Unreliable accounting

Your books are late, incomplete, or mixed with personal finances. No bank or investor can rely on your financial statements.

Unpredictable cash flow

You discover liquidity problems when it's too late. No dashboard, no visibility on your working capital requirements.

Blocked financing

You have a solid project, but banks reject your application due to lack of audited statements and a credible business plan.

Tax compliance risk

VAT, corporate tax, social contributions — OHADA/WAEMU regulatory compliance is complex and penalties are expensive.

Flying blind

No KPIs, no budget, no monthly reporting. You make strategic decisions without reliable financial data.

Unmanaged growth

Your revenue is growing but you lack the tools to measure real profitability and optimize your margins.
