Fabrice Koffi, an Ivorian accountant and entrepreneur, is the co-founder and CEO of Keiwa, a startup that supports African entrepreneurs by providing management tools tailored to their needs.
Launched in 2018 by Koffi, Bertrand Dago, and Terrence Kondou, Keiwa is a simplified accounting application that promotes financial inclusion for businesses. It offers financial and inventory management services suitable for all types of activities, addressing the needs of daily operations tracking.
Keiwa enables users to create quotes and invoices, automatically record sales and expenses, manage inventory and credits, and access real-time financial reports. The application also facilitates the archiving of supporting documents and important records, making them easy to retrieve. Keiwa is currently available in Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire.
The application is a project of Dathan Group, a company founded in 2015 to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in managing their activities. Thanks to Keiwa, Dathan Group was awarded the jury's favorite prize at the "L'Arbre à Palabres" hackathon organized by Société Générale's Lab Innovation Afrique in 2017.
