Heirs
of the Agni land

Edmond'S & Company was founded in Abidjan and draws from the Agni culture of eastern Côte d'Ivoire one simple conviction: no one decides alone, and the right word is worth more than many words.

That is the discipline we bring to business leaders, investors and public-sector clients in the WAEMU region: understand before recommending, quantify before deciding. Our engagements are conducted in strict confidence: we never name our clients.

A decision is built.
It is never improvised.

The Firm

A firm built on
rigour and proximity

Edmond'S & Company is an independent financial advisory firm based in Abidjan, founded on a simple conviction: leaders of SMEs and mid-sized companies in West Africa deserve the same quality of advice as large listed companies.

Independence

No ties to any bank or financial product. Our recommendations serve our clients' interests only.

Rigour

Every case is reviewed before we accept it. We only take on engagements where we can create real value.

Proximity

In-depth knowledge of the WAEMU market: local banks, regional investors, development finance institutions and regulators.

Ange-Dorgeles BINDE, Founder and Managing Director

A word from the Founder & Managing Director

“Leaders of Ivorian mid-market companies carry serious cases, in a serious environment, yet lack access to the level of advice their situation deserves. The 101 basis point gap between SMEs and large companies is not a market phenomenon. It is a structuring problem.”

Ange-Dorgeles BINDEFounder & Managing Director

The team

A small team, deployed on each engagement according to its nature.

Atumpan talking drum
