Nexco: A French CPA in Paris for a Global, English-Speaking Clientele

Doing business in France has never been more attractive – or more complex. International founders, scale-ups and global groups must navigate French GAAP, local tax, labour rules and new e-invoicing obligations, all while reporting under IFRS or US GAAP at group level. In this context, working with a truly international French CPA based in Paris is no longer a luxury but a strategic necessity.

Why International Businesses Need a French CPA in Paris

France remains a key market for foreign investors, from tech and digital services to luxury, manufacturing and real estate. Yet each investment triggers a dense web of rules: incorporation, VAT registration, corporate tax, payroll, transfer pricing and cross-border cash flows. A local bookkeeper focused only on year-end filings is not enough.

This is exactly where Nexco positions itself. As a French CPA in Paris, Nexco combines the role of local expert-comptable with the mindset of an international advisor. The firm supports foreign subsidiaries, branches and permanent establishments with end-to-end services: bookkeeping, statutory accounts, tax filings, payroll and management reporting aligned with group requirements. Rather than treating France as an isolated silo, Nexco integrates French numbers seamlessly into the group narrative that boards and investors expect.

When a new entity is set up, Nexco helps founders select the right legal and tax structure, map obligations over the first 12–18 months and define a realistic calendar for reporting. As the business grows, the firm assists with cash-flow monitoring, bank relationships and audit readiness, so that the French subsidiary becomes a reliable contributor to group results instead of a black box.

Bridging Local Compliance and Global Standards

The value of a French CPA for international businesses lies in this bridge between local compliance and global standards. Nexco’s teams work fluently across French GAAP, IFRS and group reporting frameworks, translating local ledgers into consolidated views without losing detail. That capability matters when group controllers need fast answers on margins, intercompany flows or tax positions – not just a pile of PDF accounts in French.

Nexco as an International Expert-Comptable

Beyond the label of CPA, Nexco acts as an international chartered accountant, serving clients that operate across several jurisdictions, currencies and regulatory environments. The firm’s work often starts with a diagnostic of the existing finance set-up: tools, processes, bottlenecks and risks. From there, Nexco designs a finance stack that can cope with growth: cloud accounting, secure document flows, automated bank feeds and a disciplined monthly close.

For cross-border groups, the French entity is frequently involved in transfer pricing, intra-group services and licensing flows. Nexco helps document these operations, aligning them with OECD guidelines and local expectations. That preparation is essential to minimise disputes in the event of a tax audit and to provide clear, defensible files to both French and foreign authorities.

Nexco also advises international clients on multi-currency accounting and revaluation, cross-border VAT rules, employer obligations for secondees and international hires, and restructuring options when a French branch becomes a full subsidiary. The goal is always the same: to keep France compliant and legible for the group, while avoiding unnecessary complexity for local teams.

English-Speaking Accountants in Paris: Removing the Language Barrier

For many executives, the language barrier is the single biggest source of friction when dealing with French administration and tax. Concepts may be familiar in their home country, but the terminology – and the expectations – are different. Having an English-speaking accountant in Paris who can explain rules clearly, challenge assumptions and prepare board-ready documentation makes a tangible difference.

Nexco’s bilingual team works daily with foreign CEOs, CFOs and investors. Meetings, dashboards and emails can be handled entirely in English, while filings remain fully compliant with French standards. This dual fluency avoids misunderstandings that can otherwise lead to late filings, misinterpreted advice or misaligned expectations with headquarters.

For founders relocating to France or launching a first operation in Paris, Nexco can explain the French tax and social landscape in plain English, outline the implications of choosing one structure over another, set up payroll and benefits in a way that fits both French law and group policies, and build simple, visual reports that answer the questions foreign leadership actually asks. The objective is not just “translation”, but interpretation: helping international clients understand how French rules fit into their global strategy.

One Partner, from Set-Up to Scale-Up

Choosing an accounting partner is a long-term decision. Nexco’s approach is to remain relevant at each stage of the company’s journey in France. At launch, the priority is fast, practical execution: incorporation, registrations, first hires, basic reporting. As operations mature, governance and controls become more important: monthly closes, forecasts, budgets and internal procedures. In the scale-up phase, questions shift to financing, group reorganisations and, eventually, exits.

All along this path, Nexco focuses on four promises: numbers that leaders can trust, deadlines that regulators can rely on, documentation that auditors can follow, and communication that international teams can easily understand. For foreign businesses, that combination – French CPA, international expert-comptable and English-speaking accountant in Paris – turns French compliance from a perceived obstacle into a platform for growth. Instead of worrying about late VAT, unexpected payroll charges or opaque tax risks, leadership can focus on product, clients and strategy, knowing that the finance engine in France is built on solid ground.

In a world where capital, talent and ideas cross borders every day, the difference between a “local accountant” and a genuinely international partner is decisive. Nexco positions itself firmly in the second category: a Paris-based firm with a global outlook, able to speak the language of both French regulators and international boards – and to make the numbers work for both.
