West Africa desk · Tunisia, Senegal, Guinea

One firm, three countries: your bridge between Tunisia and French-speaking West Africa.

International groups increasingly operate across the Maghreb and West Africa and look for French-speaking teams who understand both. MGI BFC is one of the few Tunisian firms with a real West African footprint, through BFC Senegal in Dakar and BFC Guinea in Conakry, plus the MGI Worldwide network across the region. You steer your regional projects with a single point of contact.

Who it is for

  • International groups operating in both North and West Africa that want consistent steering
  • Tunisian companies exporting to or setting up in Senegal, Guinea and the wider region
  • Institutions and donors financing regional projects that need mobile French-speaking consulting teams
  • Investors studying West African opportunities who need reliable studies and financial models
  • Diaspora entrepreneurs building projects between Tunisia and West Africa

What we do in the region

Feasibility studies and project structuring

Feasibility studies, business plans, financial modelling and valuation for regional investment or market-entry projects, with the field knowledge of our Dakar and Conakry teams.

Consulting, organisation and training

Management and organisation consulting, team training (IT, management, organisation) through BFC Senegal in Dakar, and change support for the local entities of groups.

Support for regional expansions

Project framing from Tunis, coordination of local advisers, financial structuring and reporting to headquarters; your West African project is steered in your language and time zone.

Coordination with MGI Worldwide

For locally regulated needs (statutory audit, local tax, law) we mobilise and coordinate the MGI Worldwide member firms of the countries concerned: one entry point, licensed professionals in each jurisdiction.

Donor-funded projects

Support in preparing regional projects and their financial components, building on our Tunisian practice of donor-funded project audits.

How we work

1. One entry point. A partner in Tunis coordinates the whole engagement: you do not have to orchestrate several firms in several countries.

2. Teams on the ground. BFC Senegal (Dakar) and BFC Guinea (Conakry, created in 2022) bring local presence, knowledge of the players and field responsiveness.

3. The right professionals in the right place. Whatever is locally regulated is handled by the licensed MGI member firms of the country concerned, under our coordination.

4. Unified reporting. However many countries are involved, you receive one consistent, consolidated reporting in the format and language of your choice.

Why MGI BFC

  • A real regional footprint: BFC Senegal in Dakar and BFC Guinea in Conakry, rare for a Tunisian firm
  • The MGI Worldwide network, present in more than 100 countries including West Africa, for locally regulated work
  • Dual culture: the standards of an international audit firm and the practice of French-speaking African markets
  • Three practice lines available on your regional projects: advisory and transactions, accounting, audit
  • Steering from Tunis, in your time zone, in French, English or Arabic

Office: Golden Tower Building B8.2, Centre Urbain Nord, 1082 Tunis. We work throughout Tunisia and remotely.

Frequently asked questions

Do you intervene directly in every West African country?

We work directly on consulting, study and training assignments through our Dakar and Conakry entities and our Tunisian teams. For locally regulated services (statutory audit, tax representation) we coordinate the licensed MGI Worldwide member firms of each country.

Can you support a Tunisian company setting up in Senegal?

Yes: feasibility study, business plan, structuring, coordination of local advisers for the incorporation, then financial steering and reporting to your Tunisian headquarters, with a single point of contact in Tunis.

Do you work with donors in the region?

We audit donor-funded projects in Tunisia and support the preparation of regional projects. For audits requiring a local licence in a given country, we mobilise the competent MGI member firm.

What training do you deliver in Dakar?

BFC Senegal specialises in IT, management and organisation training and consulting for companies and institutions of the region, with tailor-made programmes.

How do we start a regional project?

Describe your project through our request for proposal: a partner answers within 24 hours and proposes a framing, involving our Dakar and Conakry teams and the region's MGI members where relevant.
