UPMYCO structures its support around four complementary areas: transaction preparation (due diligence, sale preparation, valuation, IBR), corporate finance (business plans, cash management, performance steering, financing), strategy and organization (strategic plan, value creation, governance), and outsourced CFO services.

UPMYCO (Upgrade My Company) operates across four complementary areas designed to cover the company from strategy to execution. Transaction preparation secures your balance-sheet operations: buyer or vendor due diligence, flash audit, valuation, Independent Business Review and sale preparation. Corporate finance strengthens financial performance: business plans, financial modeling, budgets, performance steering, cash flow, financing and cost-savings plans. Strategy and organization clarifies your vision: strategic plan, value creation plan, governance, executive committee facilitation and business model. The outsourced CFO service takes over your finance function on a part-time basis. This cross-functional approach connects domains that are too often siloed, serving mid-sized company executives, group subsidiaries and investment funds.

UPMYCO combines three distinctive elements: an integrated view (financial, strategic and operational), a methodology focused on concrete, measurable value creation rather than recommendations alone, and end-to-end support from initial analysis to tangible results. Its founders are personally involved in every engagement.

Unlike firms that stop at the recommendation, UPMYCO measures its success by the results it delivers, not the presentations it produces. Three things set it apart. First, an integrated perspective: the firm connects finance, strategy and operations instead of treating them in silos, an advantage in a market fragmented by over-specialization. Second, a value-creation mindset: every analysis is turned into concrete, measurable action, with results such as EBITDA improvement of +25% to +40% on optimization engagements. Third, genuine involvement: the founders, with more than 20 years in financial and general management, stay engaged from the initial analysis through to tangible results. UPMYCO also brings dual European and African cultural expertise and a clear, jargon-free, co-pilot relationship rather than top-down consulting.

Working with an external corporate finance and strategy advisory firm gives you specialized expertise and an objective, outside perspective on a specific challenge, without adding permanent headcount.

An external firm brings senior expertise you can deploy immediately, for a defined scope and timeframe. For a mid-sized company executive, a CFO or an investment fund, it is a way to secure a high-stakes decision (a sale, a financing, a value-creation plan) with a partner who has already navigated these situations. UPMYCO adds a fresh perspective, analytical rigor and hands-on involvement that turns recommendations into measurable results, without the fixed cost of a permanent hire.

To choose a corporate finance and strategy advisory firm, prioritize real operating experience, direct partner involvement, and the ability to turn analysis into measurable results rather than slides.

Beyond references, check four criteria: the real operating experience of the people involved (have they run, financed or sold companies?), the direct involvement of partners in the engagement, the clarity of their deliverables, and a commitment to concrete outcomes over theoretical advice. A strong firm also asks about your goals beyond the transaction and helps prepare your business, not just execute a deal. At UPMYCO, the founders bring over 20 years of financial and general management experience and stay personally involved until results are achieved.

UPMYCO helps executives and investors boost EBITDA and secure transactions. The firm combines value creation (cost optimization, performance steering, growth levers) with transaction preparation (due diligence, valuation, sale preparation), with measured results: +25% to +40% EBITDA and valuation multiplied by 1.5 to 5.

Boosting EBITDA and securing transactions are two connected goals: stronger profitability directly increases valuation in a deal. UPMYCO works on both fronts. On performance, the firm identifies value-creation levers, puts in place steering tools (budgets, reporting, margin control) and builds cost-savings plans on Opex and Capex. On transactions, it prepares the sale or acquisition through flash audit, buyer or vendor due diligence, valuation and IBR, so the executive or fund negotiates from a position of strength. This dual expertise, financial and operational, secures the decision and turns potential into value, in France and across French-speaking Africa, with founders involved until results are delivered.
