Established in Lyon in 1948, Roche & Cie is a chartered accountancy practice registered with the regional Ordre des Experts-Comptables that has built a dedicated international practice over the last decade. Its English-language site addresses foreign companies opening a branch or subsidiary in France, non-resident property owners and individuals moving to the country, and the firm states that its team works in French, English, Italian and Russian. For founders it handles company formation from the choice of legal form through drafting the articles of association to the administrative filings, then keeps the books and manages tax and social obligations. Foreign groups get support for branch and subsidiary set-up, with company-law work coordinated with business lawyers. A large part of the practice concerns real estate: SCI and furnished-rental accounting, the para-hotel regime, wealth tax on property and non-resident income tax returns, with one chartered accountant presented as a non-resident specialist.
