We got intergrated into the SFAI GLOBAL network in March 2023, becoming henceforth SFAI Cameroon.
SFAI (Santa Fe Associates) is a transnational network of accountants, consultants and lawyers throughout the world. SFAI Global has over 300 offices in 115 countries, starting in Santa Fe, NM, USA. SFAI traces its roots from the academic side of the profession and also the practice side.
Its origin dates back to 1943 when President Roosevelt decided to install in Los Alamos Laboratory the most prestigious scientists to produce the Manhattan Project. A lot of Nobel Prizes were won by those scientists, led by Albert Einstein. In 1980, three Nobel Prize winners left the laboratory to found Santa Fe Institute, the university (today considered the cathedral of complex thinking). In 1997, three other vice-presidents left the Institute to found what is today known as SFAI, to be the preeminent network dealing with accounting, tax advisory and consulting.
SFAI’s academic board made up of 23 excellent professionals are devoting their full time to think on what is good for our firm (SFAI GLOBAL) as a whole, that is, the organization and the number of firms.
