The verdict in three sentences
For a tax advisory firm, a professional brochure website costs 1,800,000 to 3,500,000 FCFA in 2026 (about EUR 2,750 to 5,350, or USD 3,000 to 5,800), plus 400,000 FCFA (about EUR 610) for an English version when the home market is francophone. If the target is subsidiaries of foreign groups, English becomes essential, because the regional tax directors who select advisors work in English, whether the firm sits in Dakar or Singapore. A tax news blog, fed by each year's finance act or budget, is the most profitable SEO lever for an 8-consultant firm.
The detailed budget
A tax and legal advisory firm needs credibility, visible expertise and a form that filters requests. Here are the items of a typical project, priced on our Dakar reference market.
| Item | 2026 range | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Design and mockups | 300,000 to 600,000 FCFA | Sober identity, real team photos |
| Build of 10 to 15 pages | 700,000 to 1,300,000 FCFA | Simple CMS, pages per expertise |
| Expertise pages (VAT, corporate tax, transfer pricing, disputes) | 300,000 to 700,000 FCFA | One page per client issue |
| Tax news blog | 200,000 to 400,000 FCFA | Article template, categories, newsletter |
| Qualified contact form | 100,000 to 200,000 FCFA | Sector, revenue, need, urgency |
| English version | 400,000 FCFA | Professional tax translation |
| Hosting and security | 25,000 FCFA per month | Backups, SSL, updates |
| Timeline | 4 to 6 weeks | Content approval included |
The 2026 ballpark for an 8-consultant firm is around 2,600,000 FCFA with an English version, about EUR 3,960.
The tax blog, an acquisition engine
Finance directors of foreign subsidiaries look for precise answers: new measures in the finance act, investment agreement regimes, withholding tax on foreign services, transfer pricing documentation duties. Each article answering one of these questions attracts exactly qualified readers.
| Publishing rhythm | Estimated monthly cost | Organic traffic at 12 months | Qualified requests per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| No articles | 0 FCFA | 50 to 100 visits | 0 to 1 |
| 1 article a month | 75,000 FCFA | 300 to 600 visits | 2 to 3 |
| 2 articles a month | 150,000 FCFA | 800 to 1,500 visits | 4 to 7 |
| 4 articles a month | 300,000 FCFA | 1,500 to 3,000 visits | 8 to 12 |
| Annual finance act note (FR and EN) | 150,000 FCFA once | Peak of 500 to 1,000 visits in January | 3 to 6 in January |
The annual finance act note, published in French and English as soon as the law is enacted, works like a magnet: finance directors share it on LinkedIn themselves.
A form that protects partners' time
A tax firm receives many unprofitable requests: individuals, micro-businesses, free questions. The form should ask for sector, revenue band, type of need (one-off advice, annual retainer, ongoing tax audit) and urgency. Urgent audit-related requests can be routed straight to WhatsApp, the preferred channel in Dakar.
