New opportunity to support Ghanaian growth-stage SMEs
We are inviting qualified firms and finance professionals to submit proposals for a Finance Function Strengthening & Investment Readiness Technical Assistance Framework.
The framework aims to strengthen the financial systems, reporting, controls and strategic finance capabilities of pipeline and portfolio companies. The technical assistance provided through this framework will help companies improve management decision-making, investment readiness and investor confidence.
Key areas of support include:
· Finance function diagnostics and investment readiness assessments
· Financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting and cash flow management
· Cost accounting, margin visibility and unit economics
· Investment readiness and financial due diligence preparation
· Fractional CFO and strategic finance support
· Targeted implementation support and internal finance capability building
We intend to appoint 4–5 service providers with complementary capabilities to deliver tailored, time-bound support based on each company's needs. Providers may bid for the components in which they have the strongest expertise.
Qualified firms and individual practitioners with relevant experience supporting SMEs in Ghana or comparable markets are encouraged to apply.
Note that deadline for clarifying questions is 2 November, and 4 November for submission of proposals. See full details in the Terms of Reference here.
