How we are organised
Specialist departments, a single methodology.
The firm is organised into departments — accountancy, audit, valuation, advisory — each under the responsibility of a signing partner. Every engagement follows a documented methodology: an engagement letter setting out scope and deliverables, a documented working file, independent review before release, and formal reporting to management. This discipline is required by professional standards; the firm applies it to all of its work, including contractual engagements.
Independence
Independence is not a stance but a professional obligation. It is documented and tested before any engagement is accepted.
Methodology
Professional standards, documented working files, systematic review before release. Our conclusions must withstand challenge.
Confidentiality
Professional secrecy covers all of our work. No client information is disclosed to third parties or published as a reference.
Our sectors
Sectors in which the firm works regularly.
Twenty years of engagements in France and internationally have given the firm direct knowledge of these industries: their operating cycles, their regulatory constraints and their accounting specifics.
Out of respect for professional confidentiality, we do not disclose the names of our clients.
