A word from our clients

Client testimonial

Tech - Hotel services

"We had the opportunity to meet SO-MG on the recommendation of common partners. We were very fortunate to find an agile, fast and competent team. Their tools are sharp and saved us a lot of time.
In a few days, we were able to benefit from clear and convincing financial forecasts that allowed us to successfully complete our negotiations.
Their reactivity is astonishing and their work amplitude is very large, which is necessary during the closing period. The team is pleasant and smiling, which makes this sometimes tense and arduous work more enjoyable.
It was a first collaboration but it will certainly not be the last."

After an initial discussion with Sophie, SOMG's teams were able to understand my problem and provide an appropriate response. I appreciated the advice, professionalism, support and follow-up they provided. It is a human-sized firm, with values and availability put at the service of its clients

Investment funds

We call on SO-MG for the analysis of complex cash flow situations in SMEs. During our various collaborations, we have been able to appreciate the qualities of the team: pragmatism, diligence, precision, efficiency and adaptability. "An iron fist in a velvet glove" would perhaps be the best expression to qualify SO-MG's mode of intervention, which perfectly combines rigorous analysis and benevolent exchanges.

The partners are directly involved in the cases and that's what makes the difference. At ease in amicable and legal proceedings, they are very operational. The team is used to go to the field, visit the companies to meet the managers, and get the information from the source.

Architecture

The collaboration between AJN and SO-MG Partners began more than 3 years ago and has never ceased evolving! Starting with an engagement for the strict purpose of financial analysis, we have progressively developed very close partnership designed to provide our company with tailored management tools for controlling the company’s performance, including the creation of a specific business model for that purpose. The advice provided by Sophie and her teams has helped me work with confidence and pragmatism. Sophie’s business vision is a real source of comfort for decision-taking and for coping with our issues. The dialogue between our in-house teams and those of SO-MG Partners is a fluid one and a great source for learning and ideas. But over and above the advice provided, the attention devoted, the understanding of our environment and the professionalism of the team of SO-MG Partners are a precious source of help!

Sophie, the founding partner of SO-MG Partners, and Touax Group go back a long way and that is what allows her and her teams to obtain a rapid grasp of our complex issues.

We use the techniques applicable to restructuring as a driver for continuous performance improvement, since they are techniques that can help achieve a very high level of performance and that are very easy to apply to our activities and to our organisation.

SO-MG Partners provides us with a pragmatic and technical approach resulting in solutions tailored to our needs.

The initials SO-MG resonate with seriousness and accessibility. They are known for the seriousness of their work first, which is very valuable. The company needs to rely on reliable historical and forecasted figures to convince the company's various partners.
Their accessibility, both from a human point of view, since one has quick access to a quality contact person and in terms of rates, which allows SMEs to benefit from real personalized support.

Industry & Distribution

We were pleased with our collaboration with the team of SO-MG Partners which succeeded in obtaining a real understanding of our business model and business plan before providing an independent opinion. They engaged in fluid communication with our own financial teams and thereby managed to produce a robust and precise IBR. I can recommend recourse to this firm which is capable of creating value for any company in the process of refinancing.

We had occasion to work with Sophie during the period of observation of our company.
Sophie acted with discernment and provided us with guidance and good advice which helped us during a difficult period. She also shared her contacts with us and helped us meet key interlocutors (notably a factoring broker) in order to free up a certain number of situations.

Services

The hive-off of an activity is a complex operation requiring a technical and pragmatic approach. Meeting deadlines requires rapidly establishing a relationship of confidence with the executive managements of the target company and acquirer. SO-MG Partners’ consultants are experienced and have a hands-on approach which makes for great reactivity and inspires confidence on the part of their client and their client’s teams.
