Accounting services for your business

Accounting · Management · Financial oversight

Accounting processes adapted to your activity, your team and your tools.

Choose the right level of support

Useful accounting helps you understand what happened, prepare for deadlines and make decisions using explained figures. The organisation depends on your activity, document volume, internal resources and existing tools. We agree how responsibilities will be shared before the engagement begins.

01

You want to outsource bookkeeping

You provide invoices, statements and supporting documents through an agreed process. The firm organises their processing and reconciliation within the engagement scope. Missing records and transactions requiring clarification are grouped to make responding easier. The aim is to maintain the file throughout the year, instead of accumulating questions at year-end.

02

You already have an accounting team

Your team can retain transaction processing and daily monitoring, with the firm supporting review, annual accounts or specific matters. We identify checks already performed, available working papers and areas requiring additional attention. Responsibilities need to be explicit to avoid both duplication and gaps.

03

You are starting a business or changing your organisation

We examine invoicing tools, purchase document collection, payment methods and record storage. When taking over an existing file, an initial inventory distinguishes ongoing work from any historical reconstruction required. The start date reflects upcoming deadlines and the coordination needed with other contacts.

04

From onboarding to year-end

  1. Scoping: understanding the business, defining the engagement, allocating responsibilities and agreeing a timetable.
  2. Collection: organising invoices, statements, contracts, financing records and unusual events.
  3. Ongoing work: reconciliations, resolving questions and preparing the tax work included in the engagement.
  4. Year-end: reviewing balances, obtaining closing evidence and preparing annual accounts.
  5. Director discussion: explaining results and significant movements, and identifying matters to monitor.

The frequency of meetings and interim reporting is agreed around your needs. Annual accounts and monthly cash-flow monitoring serve different purposes; the scope selected should make this clear.

Get information that supports decisions

The balance sheet and profit figure alone do not answer every management question. Depending on the agreed engagement, we can organise monitoring of margins, expenses, receipts and payment deadlines. Indicators should remain understandable and connected with reliable records.

01

An example: a profitable company with falling cash

Revenue growth may come with unpaid customer invoices, equipment purchases or loan repayments. Profit and the bank balance therefore do not necessarily move together. Appropriate reporting puts these movements into context and helps identify missing information before a spending or financing decision.

02

Connect new payment methods with the accounts

A card payment, online payment account or crypto wallet adds a data source to reconcile. The full process matters: sale or purchase, settlement, fees and supporting evidence. Where the company uses crypto-assets, our crypto accounting support addresses exchange and wallet records alongside the rest of the accounts.

Electronic invoicing also affects daily operations: the chosen tool, invoice receipt, transmission to the accountant and data management. Our electronic invoicing guide explains the points to prepare. For development or financing projects, explore our director advisory services.

03

What records should we prepare?

The latest available accounts, trial balance and general ledger if available, returns already prepared, account statements and an overview of your tools provide a starting point. Add upcoming events such as recruitment, investment, a new activity, capital changes or an exceptional transaction. The document list is then tailored to your file.

04

Do we need to change software?

The choice depends on your requirements and the quality of data exchange. We examine exports, access arrangements and existing procedures before proposing a change. A new tool alone cannot resolve incomplete document collection or unclear responsibilities.

05

How are scope and fees determined?

The proposal reflects the activity, transaction volume and complexity, your team’s autonomy and the work required. The engagement letter distinguishes the services selected from any additional work that may be needed.

06

Can payroll or group reporting be included?

These requirements can be assessed within an appropriate engagement. Read about payroll and HR support and support for French entities of international groups.
