Goodwin’s Paris Private Equity team advised Accru Partners, a European group bringing together independent financial services firms serving small- and medium-sized enterprises and mid-cap companies, on its partnership with SEFAC-SMA, an independent Paris-based accounting and audit firm.
The partnership reflects both organizations’ shared commitment to professional excellence, local autonomy, and long-term client relationships. By joining Accru Partners, SEFAC-SMA will be able to accelerate its growth while preserving its identity and core principles, supported by expanded resources, complementary expertise, and opportunities to collaborate on projects across Europe.
Founded in 1983, SEFAC-SMA primarily serves family-owned businesses and the French subsidiaries of international groups. Audit is at the heart of its practice, complemented by recognized expertise in complex, high-value assignments.
The Goodwin team included William Robert and Sabine Bensaid on corporate matters, as well as Charles-Henri de Gouvion Saint-Cyr on tax matters.
