GAILLARD Expertise & Conseil

About GAILLARD Expertise & Conseil

Set up in Nice in 2024 by a chartered accountant formerly with PwC, GAILLARD Expertise & Conseil combines accounting, audit, tax, legal and payroll work for large groups, mid-sized companies and SMEs, with a second address in Paris. Foreign groups are served through a dedicated International Business Services team that takes over the accounting and tax functions of their French subsidiaries, brings processes into line with French requirements and converts accounts kept abroad under UK, US or German GAAP or IFRS. The tax and legal team prepares corporate and VAT returns, covers transfer pricing, international taxation and customs duties, handles annual approval of accounts and drafts incorporation documents before completing the registration formalities for new companies. Sector teams focus on real estate companies and regulated property funds, banking and insurance subsidiaries, renewable energy projects and tech start-ups. Statutory audit and contribution or merger appraisal mandates are carried out by the firm's audit practice, alongside consolidation, management control and finance transformation consulting.
