The inception of E.F.S. International began with a need, a philosophy, and a client. The need has been to assist our client in managing their financial and business affairs after their business partner walked out with over half of the company's talent and receivables. The philosophy has always been to report the truth so the client would be apparent in making quality decisions about their business affairs; which in-turn impacts their personal life.
Since our inception, clients have been blessed to maintain their quality of life without compromise to the business affairs they’ve entrusted to us over 35 years ago. To date, our completed projects are more significant than what is listed, because we can't count the generations that will be impacted by such a simple philosophy - "report the truth to inform the client."
