Keeping accounts up to date and filing returns on time is essential. But what makes the difference for a business owner is having someone who really knows their file, anticipates, and can turn figures into decisions — and who explains the French system in plain English.

That is Hexaconto’s purpose: a firm on a human scale, founded by a chartered accountant and statutory auditor with over twenty years’ experience, committed to continuity of follow-up and to the quality of the relationship.

  • An identified contact who follows your file from one year to the next.
  • Rigour on accounting, tax and social compliance, with a calendar planned ahead.
  • Practical advice to structure, hire, invest, pay yourself and manage your cash.
  • Clear communication in English: meetings, emails and explanations of your accounts; statutory filings remain in French.
  • Modern tools: paperless exchanges, secure space, automated pre-accounting and bank entries, always reviewed by a professional.
  • A lasting relationship, based on transparency and a clear engagement letter.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an accountant cost in France?

Fees depend on the work your file requires: type of business, frequency of your VAT returns, volume of transactions, employees and additional services chosen. Our introduction form books your meeting in 2 to 3 minutes and gives you a fee estimate in 5 more, confirmed after a review of your documents and the meeting; you then receive a written proposal, formalised in an engagement letter. Estimate your budget and see how we set our fees

How can I get an accountant quote quickly?

Fill in our introduction form: in 2 to 3 minutes, you know whether our support may suit you, and you book your meeting. In 5 more minutes, you prepare it and receive an estimate of our fees. You then send us the documents requested to confirm it, and we go through your last questions in the meeting with a chartered accountant to receive our quote, free and with no obligation, in Paris, by video call or by phone. With your documents reviewed in advance, you usually receive your proposal during the meeting. Our accountant quote in 3 steps

Can I change accountant during the year?

Yes. You can change at any time, in line with the current engagement letter and the profession’s rules. We contact your current firm to organise the takeover of your file smoothly. The simplest option is a change at year-end; during the year, a supplement for the year-end accounts is usually provided. Read our guide to changing accountant and work out your change date

Can a French accountant support my business remotely, anywhere in France?

Yes. Our office is in Paris, but many exchanges take place by phone, video call and secure document space. We support clients throughout France. Get my free meeting and quote

As an accountant in France, do you support new business owners?

Yes, as soon as your business is registered (Kbis for a company, Sirene registration for a sole trader), or while registration is under way: review of your tax and VAT options, accounting organisation, first deadlines, then the director’s remuneration when the time comes. As soon as you choose us, we review with you the options taken at incorporation: it is therefore best to choose your accountant quickly, so that any adjustments (tax regime, VAT…) are made on time. For a simple incorporation, you can complete the formalities yourself, free of charge, on the INPI one-stop shop; for a more complex one, a lawyer is the right contact. See how we get you started after registration

Is a French expert-comptable the equivalent of a CPA?

Yes, it is the closest equivalent. In France, the regulated accounting profession is the expert-comptable (chartered accountant), registered with the Ordre des experts-comptables: the role a CPA or chartered accountant plays in other countries. Hexaconto is a firm of French experts-comptables, registered in Paris; we do not hold the US CPA title. See our services

Are the accounting documents of an English-speaking accountant in France in English?

Statutory filings must be prepared in French. We provide explanations, summaries and, where needed, reporting in English.

Can our French accountant deal directly with our head office?

Yes. We regularly exchange with group finance teams, controllers and auditors, in English, to deliver the figures and explanations they need. See our support for subsidiaries and international entrepreneurs

From sole trader to SME: does your English-speaking accountant in France follow your accounting and tax all year round?

Yes: a dedicated chartered accountant handles your business’s accounting and tax engagement (annual accounts, corporate tax return, VAT) and takes your overall situation into account: the company’s accounts and taxes, the director’s pay and income. Payroll, corporate secretarial, forecasts and dashboards can be added à la carte, offered on request and quoted in advance. You are well supported, in Paris, by video call or by phone, anywhere in France. In 2 to 3 minutes, your meeting is booked; in 5 more minutes, your fee estimate is shown. Get my free meeting and quote

The forecasts, cash-flow plans, dashboards, simulations, studies and analyses mentioned above are additional engagements, à la carte. Each one is quoted in advance, at the frequency you choose.
