Accounting Liaison

This service is aimed at removing your language and cultural barriers.

Let's face it.  In order for things to run smoothly, you don't just need an accountant who understands French Accounting.  You need a finance specialist who:

• knows how business is done in France and in the US

• understands business & accounting technical-jargon in both French and English, and

• can bridge the cultural gap on a social level.

Unlike consultants who often just tell you what you need to do, we will do as much as you desire.  We often take the "middle-man" role in taking on all communications between your accounting departments.

Financial Statement Conversions

We pride ourselves on providing reliable conversions of financial statements to/from US and French accounting standards.

Uncertainty with overseas information can cripple your ability to make important decisions and lead you into making the wrong decisions.

• Are you familiar with the format of French information?  Is your affiliate familiar with yours?

• Do you understand the impact of using different accounting standards? (e.g. a net gain could result in a net loss after applying another country's accounting standards).

We can help you regain the confidence you need to make important decisions.

Custom Reporting

If your overseas operation requires custom reports, let us help.

Your French affiliate may need to integrate your financial information within their accounts and simply see things the way they are used to.

We can make sure that they get the complete picture the first time.

We are there to reduce friction and let you get on with running your business.

Internal Audits

Do you have faith in the integrity of the information you're receiving from your foreign affiliate?

For added assurance, an internal audit of your overseas operation may be just what you're looking for.

Financial-statement auditors are prohibited from providing these kinds of in-depth consulting services.  However, since we do not provide such audit opinions, we have no such limitations.  You simply let us know what your concerns are, and we will look into them - as specifically or deeply as you need.

US and State Tax Filings

Owning foreign subsidiaries or being a subsidiary of a foreign parent-company creates special filing requirements.

We can ensure that you comply with all US and State tax rulings, and prepare all your filings.
