SFA

What SFA does

WeMa is an independent, full-service accounting and advisory firm headquartered in eastern France, operating under the trading name and group structure that includes SFA as a subsidiary. The firm employs 450 collaborators across 21 bureau locations and reports €48M in annual revenue, positioning itself as the premier independent full-service accounting practice in eastern France. Its service offering is organized into 12 competence poles spanning core accounting and advisory, payroll and HR advisory, legal (via WeMa Legal law firm), statutory audit, CSR advisory, M&A and corporate finance, wealth and social protection engineering, international advisory, CFO assistance, and personal financial advisory.

The firm's technology stack is built on third-party platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure: MEG (Mon Expert en Gestion) for accounting access, I-Compta via SFA-Audit for client accounting workflows, Silae for payroll processing, Cegid Connect for enterprise accounting, and Calculus (mycompanyfiles.fr) for document management. TeamViewer is used for remote client assistance through the ACTIS division. These integrations provide operational efficiency and client stickiness but do not constitute a proprietary technology moat.

WeMa generates revenue primarily through professional service fees and recurring advisory contracts across accounting, payroll, legal, audit, and corporate finance engagements. While pricing is not publicly disclosed, the firm's GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging 21 physical offices, 20+ sector-specific landing pages, and word-of-mouth referrals. Customer segments are diversified across SMEs/PME (the primary segment) and specialty verticals including real estate, medical practices, agriculture, BTP, pharmacy, liberal professions, franchise networks, hospitality, and holding companies, served primarily in eastern France with cross-border support via the International practice pole.
