Capacity Building & Training

At FMS (Francs Management Solutions), we believe that sustainable financial management is not just about systems and policies — it’s about people. Even the best-designed finance systems can fail if teams lack the skills to operate them.

Our Capacity Building & Training service equips SMEs, NGOs, and corporates in Burundi with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to manage their finances effectively, stay compliant, and meet international standards.

What We Do in Capacity Building & Training

1. Finance Team Skills Assessment

  • Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your finance staff.

  • Identify skill gaps in bookkeeping, reporting, compliance, and audit readiness.

  • Provide tailored recommendations for improvement.

2. Practical Finance Training Workshops

  • Train staff on budgeting, cash flow tracking, profit & loss analysis, and reconciliations.

  • Provide hands-on training with Excel dashboards, financial models, and donor reporting templates.

  • Conduct compliance workshops on IFRS standards, OBR tax requirements, and donor rules.

3. SME Owner Training

  • Many SMEs in Burundi don’t have dedicated finance teams.

  • We train owners and managers on basic financial management so they can track cash flow, control expenses, and understand profitability.

4. NGO Donor Compliance Training

  • Build staff capacity in donor reporting, policy implementation, and audit preparation.

  • Train NGOs on how to maintain clear documentation that satisfies donor requirements.

5. Corporate & Institution Upskilling

  • Provide advanced training on ERP usage, IFRS compliance, and internal audit systems.

  • Support finance teams in adopting modern tools for efficiency and transparency.

6. Continuous Support & Coaching

  • Offer ongoing mentorship for finance teams.

  • Provide refresher trainings when regulations or donor requirements change.

Why It Matters

✔️ SMEs gain the financial literacy needed to manage growth and avoid collapse.
✔️ NGOs strengthen donor confidence by delivering accurate and compliant reports.
✔️ Corporates & institutions ensure their finance teams are aligned with global best practices.

Strong financial teams mean less dependency, fewer errors, and more sustainable organizations.
