About BDO France

Headquartered on Rue Lamartine in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, BDO France is the French member of the BDO network, which operates in 164 countries. It runs offices across mainland France, including Lyon, Nice, Marseille, Nantes and Strasbourg, as well as in French Guiana, and works with companies from start-ups to multinationals in audit, accounting and consulting. For foreign businesses and subsidiaries of foreign groups establishing a presence in France, the firm offers a dedicated support service covering the choice of legal structure, the organisation of accounting and tax, domiciliation and ongoing compliance. Its teams keep accounts under French or foreign standards, run French payroll and human resources administration, and manage VAT registration, returns and refunds under a tax mandate. Non-EU companies that need a fiscal representative in France can get help with that requirement, while EU businesses can use the firm's VAT desk for their French tax formalities.
