Independent Financial Adviser/ Consultoria financeira independente

• Mozambique

• Senior Business Consultant

  • Jan 2013 - Sep 2021

  Advisory project ( strategy development, corporate finance, Governance strategy) or an implementation project ( strategy execution, roll-out of new business processes, ERP implementation). Hom I work: The first phase is the preparation phase, where i plan the project in terms of client agreements, staffing, budgeting, planning, project structure and governance. The problem definition phase follows – here the project team analyses the client issue and, based on that, develops the requirement for the data gathering phase. Uncovering the real problem ('root cause') is in practice easier said than done, it often requires desk research, interviews and thorough analysis for it to surface. The data gathering phase subsequently ensures the required information is obtained, through, for instance, surveys, benchmarks, interviews, etc. Once the data has been gathered, I proceed to the analysis phase. Data is placed under scrutiny, analysed, tested against hypotheses developed at the start of the project and checked with the client. Following the validation of data (often an iterative process), options and solutions are developed, which stand at the basis of the final recommendation. A final deliverable, often in the form of a PowerPoint presentation, is developed to inform the stakeholders involved. Besides client related work, i'm expect to contribute to internal objectives, which may vary, from following training to performing research for external publication or contributing to the organisation of an event. Typically as consultant climb up the ranks the importance of activities shift from client delivery to, for instance internal management (strategy setting, management), sales (proposal delivery, client management) and engagement management (coaching, Quality Assurance).
