Mission & Interests
Goals: The European Federation of Accountants and Auditors for small and medium-sized enterprises (EFAA for SMEs) is an umbrella organisation for national accountants and auditors' organisations whose individual members provide professional services primarily to SMEs within Europe. It was founded in 1994.
EFAA for SMEs has 15 members throughout Europe representing over 400,000 accountants, auditors and tax advisors.
Small and medium-sized accounting practices (SMPs) are European SMEs' most important business advisors. They help entrepreneurs gain access to finance, and they provide valued business advice allowing them grow their businesses sustainably.
SMEs have a number of specificities. An important characteristic is that most of their business relations are based on very close personalised cooperation and mutual trust. Hence, their accountants and auditors need to provide targeted services to accommodate the individual needs of SMEs and of the users of their financial statements.
