Chartered accounting Statutory audit Contractual and internal audit Donor project audits Tax and payroll Advisory

AXIAL Advisory and Audit keeps, reviews and closes the accounts of companies, subsidiaries of foreign groups, associations and projects established in Djibouti. Our team works in your accounting system or in ours, follows the framework applicable in the Republic of Djibouti and delivers accounts that stand up to the scrutiny of tax authorities, banks, shareholders and auditors.

Each engagement is led by a chartered accountant registered with the Ordre des Experts-Comptables de Djibouti, under a written engagement letter that sets out the scope, the calendar and the fees. You know who does what, when, and at what cost.

What we take care of

Bookkeeping and periodic review

Recording of transactions, bank and cash reconciliations, monitoring of receivables and payables, and monthly or quarterly review of accounts kept by your own team.

Annual financial statements

Closing entries, depreciation and provisions, preparation of the balance sheet, income statement and notes, and of the annual tax return filed with the Direction des Impôts.

Management reporting

Monthly situations, budget monitoring, cash forecasts and group reporting packages, so that figures arrive on time and in the format your management expects.

How an engagement unfolds

Who we work with

Trading and services companies, construction and logistics firms, subsidiaries and branches of foreign groups, free zone companies, professional practices, associations and donor funded projects. Engagements range from a full outsourcing of the finance function to a quarterly review of accounts kept in house.

Diagnosis

We review your current organisation, the state of the books and the deadlines ahead, then agree on a clear division of tasks.

Set-up

Chart of accounts, document flows, closing calendar and access rights are defined before the first entry is recorded.

Production

Entries, reconciliations and declarations are processed at the agreed pace, with a review by a second person before each delivery.

Closing and dialogue

The annual accounts are presented to you and explained, with recommendations on tax position, financing and organisation.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we are most often asked before an engagement.

The law does not require every company to appoint a chartered accountant, but companies must keep regular accounts and file annual returns. Entrusting this work to a registered professional secures the figures, limits tax reassessment risks and frees your team for its core business.

Yes. We work in Odoo, Sage and most of the systems used in Djibouti, or we host your accounts in our own environment and give you read access at any time.

Fees are agreed in advance in the engagement letter, as a monthly or quarterly fixed amount based on the volume of transactions and the deliverables, with the annual closing invoiced separately.

Yes. We regularly catch up several financial years, reconstitute missing documentation and regularise filings with the administration before returning to a normal rhythm.
