Judy International Advisory (JIA) is a Saudi advisory firm established in 2018, working from Riyadh and Jeddah. Its core practices are financial advisory, feasibility studies and management advisory, alongside specialized practices in geotechnical work, procurement and supply chain, and other advisory services.

JIA’s services include financial advisory, feasibility studies and management advisory as core practices, together with geotechnical consultancy, other specialized advisory services, and procurement and supply chain advisory. The scope of a service is set according to the project and the client’s need.

JIA works from Saudi Arabia, with offices in Riyadh and Jeddah.

JIA works with investors, project owners, companies and institutions that need financial analysis, an assessment of an investment opportunity, a feasibility study, performance improvement, or specialized advisory experience according to the nature of the project.

An engagement starts by understanding the client’s need and defining the scope of work, then preparing the proposal and methodology and agreeing the deliverables and timetable. The project is then carried out within the agreed scope, with review of the outputs, delivery and close. The path differs according to the nature and size of the project.

After the client’s need and the nature of the problem or opportunity are understood, the scope, deliverables, data, assumptions, methodology, timetable and follow-up arrangements are defined, and the required specialist team is formed. Fees are estimated according to the nature and size of the project and the expertise required.

A JIA feasibility study covers market analysis, regulatory and technical requirements, cost and revenue assumptions, financial analysis, and sensitivity analysis of changes in the assumptions. The scope and outputs are set according to the project and the decision the study is meant to support.

A feasibility study differs according to the aspect that needs to be assessed. It may focus on the market, regulatory requirements, technical matters or financial viability, or combine these in an integrated study. The appropriate type is set according to the project and the decision the client wants to make.

The duration differs according to the nature of the project, the scope of the study, the availability of data and the number of aspects to be assessed. The expected timetable is set in the scope of work after the project requirements are understood.

That depends on the nature of the project and the service required. Initial information may include a description of the project, its location, the business model, the products or services, and the data or assumptions the client already has. After the need is understood, JIA identifies the required data more precisely.
