How we help
Keep your French company financially organised
The accounting service is organised around the company’s sales and purchase documents, bank activity, tax obligations and reporting calendar.
The exact scope depends on your company, activity and tax regime, so the service is structured around the obligations that apply to your business.
The exact accounting scope is confirmed after reviewing the company, tax regime, transaction flow and reporting obligations. The engagement also identifies any work that must be carried out by an appropriately authorised accounting professional.
Declarations and tax follow-up
Prepare or arrange the VAT and other recurring declarations included in the agreed accounting scope.
Financial reporting
Keep management information and year-end accounting preparation organised.

Scope confirmed before work starts
We confirm the requested service, the information required from you and any dependencies that affect the work.
Requirements explained in plain English

No authority outcome is presented as guaranteed
Where an authority, registry, bank or other third party decides an outcome or timing, we identify that dependency rather than promise a result.
Common questions
Questions before you start
Can an international company manage French accounting in English?
Francosetup provides an English-speaking coordination point while the French accounting records, tax filings and local documents are handled according to the agreed scope and the requirements that apply to the company.
Does the accounting service include French VAT reporting?
VAT can be included where it forms part of the agreed accounting scope. The filing frequency and obligations depend on the company, transactions, tax regime and any cross-border activity.
Can accounting and payroll be coordinated together?
Yes. For companies with employees in France, accounting and payroll can be coordinated so payroll entries, employer costs and recurring reporting fit the company’s wider financial process.
