Land, legal & management

Accounting, tax & management

You keep the books, produce the financial statements and steer the tax affairs and management control of agricultural value-chain businesses.

Bookkeeping, financial statements, tax, statutory filings and management control for value-chain businesses.

Nature of the service

What this service covers

This service covers day-to-day bookkeeping, the production of annual financial statements under the OHADA accounting framework, tax and social filings, monitoring of statutory obligations, lawful tax optimisation and management control: budgets, dashboards, cost calculation per product or per season. Typical deliverables include certified annual accounts, tax returns, interim statements, management dashboards and compliance certificates. It differs from legal services, which structure commitments, and from financial advisory, which assembles funding files: it produces the reliable figures that both of those services and lenders need in order to work with a business.

Skills and technologies involved
  • Bookkeeping and preparation of financial statements under the OHADA framework
  • Tax, social and customs filings and monitoring of the compliance calendar
  • Agricultural management control: cost per season, margin per product, budgeting
  • Audit, statutory auditing and certificates requested by lenders
  • Setting up management tools suited to cooperatives and small processing units
What the service brings

Benefits for producers, cooperatives, companies and institutions

Organised producers and cooperatives finally know their real margins per season and per product.

Processing companies secure their tax position and avoid costly reassessments and penalties.

Exporters present reliable accounts to banks, credit insurers and international buyers.

Project developers reach credit and grants thanks to compliant, credible financial statements.

Institutions and donors monitor the use of the funds they grant on the basis of verifiable reports.

Role in the ecosystem

Why this service matters in Cameroon and Central Africa

In Cameroon, a large share of farms and small processing units operate without formal accounts, which keeps them away from bank credit, public procurement and grant programmes. Chartered accountants and tax advisers move these businesses from the informal to the formal sector, bring their obligations into order and give them tools to steer their costs. They are the link that makes an agricultural business legible to a banker, an investor or a foreign buyer. Their work conditions the bankability of projects and the credibility of value chains with regional and international partners, and it underpins every other financial service a business may later need.
