Our story is one of growth, resilience, and transformation.
Our company was founded on the principles of wholeness and transformation, with a vision to empower youths in Buea, Cameroon, and eventually Africa. Our founder, Molombe Henry Lyonga, had a passion to bring wholeness and transformation to youths in Buea, Cameroon, and subsequently to Africa through four wings: Agriculture, Technology, Investments, and Business Consulting.
We started with planning meetings in 2017, which led to our first public event, the Investment Forum (November 2017). This marked the beginning of our journey as a wealth and financial stewardship company. We initially operated through four arms: Sozo Farms (Agriculture), Sozo Technology (Technology), Sozo Invest (Investments), and Sozo Business Pro (Business Consulting).
However, we faced numerous challenges, including limited resources, investments, and sociopolitical crises in our region of operation. These obstacles, including the covid-19 pandemic, led to setbacks, debt, and a significant reduction in our team size. Despite these challenges, we persevered and developed our first software, Financial Master (web application for point of sales, cloud-based accounting, and inventory), in 2020. After beta testing and refinement, we secured our first client in 2021. Today, Financial Master is our main income-generating tool.
Over time, we have evolved and refined our focus to better serve our clients and achieve our mission as a wealth and financial stewardship company. Today, we operate through three key arms:
Our most recent offering is a financial service known as 360 Accountancy, a comprehensive accounting package for startups and SMEs.
We utilize professional expertise to drive financial stewardship and carry out community transformation activities through our nonprofit umbrella, Sozo Empire Foundation.
Our story is one of growth, resilience, and transformation. We remain committed to our mission of building a bright financial tomorrow for individuals and companies across Africa. A brighter financial tomorrow for birthing the African dream.
