SECOFI

SECOFI is a French professional services firm operating as a cabinet d'expertise comptable (accounting practice) and commissariat aux comptes (statutory audit practice). According to its official website, the group was created in 1971 and is based in the central business district of Paris, at the boundary between the 9th and 8th arrondissements. It describes itself as having more than 50 years of experience and as remaining innovative, anticipating major technological changes. The firm positions itself as a multidisciplinary practice close to its clients — SMEs, mid-sized enterprises (ETI) and associations — and offers a broad range of services that extend well beyond bookkeeping. Its service lines include support for business creation (business plan, financing search, drafting of articles of association), day-to-day accounting and social obligations, budget forecasting, tax and social optimization, wealth management, and audit services such as valuation audits before the purchase or transfer of a business. SECOFI also provides legal support through a dedicated legal team. Its legal services cover business law, company law, commercial lease law and contract law, and include drafting articles of association, incorporating companies (SCI, SAS, SARL, SA, SNC, civil companies), filing and protecting trademarks, approving annual accounts, transferring shares, maintaining annual corporate secretarial records, drafting commercial and professional leases, and drafting cash-management or service agreements and general terms of sale. The firm also handles statutory modifications such as transformations, transfers of registered office, changes of company name, changes of financial year-end, changes of manager, and capital increases. For service-sector businesses — which sell services rather than physical goods — SECOFI highlights specific accounting and tax expertise, including drafting articles of association, outsourcing bookkeeping, payroll management, tax filings, financial statements and tax returns, social protection for managers, and optimization of tax and social status. The firm emphasizes that service businesses are evaluated on the results of their work rather than on physical inventory, and that they must manage direct and indirect costs and bill clients by the hour or on a flat-fee basis. SECOFI presents itself as having an increasingly broad presence across French territory, allowing it to offer local support and constant availability. Its client base is primarily French SMEs, ETIs and associations, and its positioning is that of a trusted, long-established Parisian practice combining accounting, tax, legal, audit and wealth-management advice under one roof.

The firm has added legal advisory capabilities, including a dedicated legal team covering business law, company law, commercial leases and contracts, and it provides corporate secretarial services and support for company incorporations and statutory modifications. The firm has also developed specialized expertise for service-sector businesses, addressing their particular accounting and tax characteristics, such as the absence of physical inventory, the need to manage direct and indirect costs, and billing by the hour or on a flat-fee basis. SECOFI states that its presence across French territory is increasingly broad, enabling it to offer local support and constant availability to clients.
