About APRZ

Foreign entrepreneurs and international groups establishing themselves in France are the stated client base of APRZ, an independent accounting and audit practice in the 3rd arrondissement of Lyon that also presents itself as serving Paris. Its director, a chartered accountant and auditor with a background in multinational audit firms, is in charge of foreign companies setting up a business in France, while a senior manager handles tax and accounting for foreign clients. The website is available in English, French, German and Italian, and the director works in English and French with good German. For newcomers the firm acts as a hub for the implementation project, working with Invest in Lyon and selecting partners such as banks, insurers and lawyers, and it guides foreign directors through personal tax and social security registration. Ongoing work covers French GAAP bookkeeping, corporate tax and VAT compliance, payroll, English-language reporting to parent companies and statutory audit missions.
