FAQ: Bookkeeping services

What is the role of a chartered accountant in a business?
A chartered accountant plays a crucial function in the financial oversight and sustainability of a business. Their role goes beyond bookkeeping—they also support entrepreneurs in making important financial choices.
We assist firms in handling their regular financial tracking, optimize taxation, and fulfill statutory duties. We also deliver expertise in performance analysis, cash flow management, salary processing, and creating required financial documents, such as statements of financial position, income statements, and tax filings.

Can I fully outsource my accounting?

We take care of bookkeeping, tax and social filings, improving financial performance, and regulatory oversight. We provide personalized support based on your specific situation, while ensuring full compliance with current regulations.

Life insurance is another tax-efficient tool : after eight years, it enjoys a favorable tax rate, making it an efficient option for wealth transfer and tax optimization.
Investing in SMEs or tax-incentivized investment funds (fonds d’investissement de proximité et fonds communs de placement dans l’innovation) can also grant a tax reduction of up to 25% of the invested amount, subject to conditions.
These are just a few examples! Our tax experts are here to guide you toward the top options for reducing taxes for optimal savings.
How to choose the right legal status for my business?
Choosing the most suitable legal status is a key step when launching your activity, as it impacts taxation, social security coverage, and the entrepreneur’s legal responsibility.
We evaluate your plans to help you determine the right structure based on your goals and circumstances. For example, a micro-enterprise may be appropriate for a modest-income project with minimal expenses, while a simplified joint-stock company or SARL offers more adaptability and security for entrepreneurs planning to scale their business.
Our support includes a personalized analysis of your situation, considering your business type, expected income level, and growth plans. We help you choose wisely to maximize tax efficiency and set up sound financial foundations at the launch of your business.
