French accountant – A new approach

We now propose a new approach to accountancy for small & medium sized businesses. France has a notoriously difficult tax and social system. Smaller foreign businesses often find the whole process of setting up business in France daunting. They usually ask large accountancy firms to support them. This causes the small business to incur  significant professional fees. We are well placed to offer our wealth of experience, the personal and professional qualities of our expertise. Our office is based in Lyon (2nd biggest town in France, ½ hour to the airport, 2 hours from Paris by train, 1 hour from Geneva, Switzerland). We maintain a client centred approach. This represents a key advantage enabling us to tailor our services carefully, to your needs, to reflect your business ethos.

Our Clients are:

  • Small and medium sized businesses;
  • People who don’t like wasting money;
  • People who want to monitor their business accounts using monthly overviews.

Our core values are:

  • Our system is simple;
  • We talk the same business language as you;
  • We give you the easiest way to reach your goal;
  • Our system is simple;
  • Our services are affordable;
  • We help you with your organization;
  • Our system gives you security and reassurance.

And the benefit to you is your contact will be with a principal member of the team.
