Atlantic Partners

About Atlantic Partners

Founded in 2006 by a French chartered accountant, this accountancy group works from Paris, London, Montreal, Geneva and a Lisbon branch run by a senior accountant. The practice combines bookkeeping, tax, payroll and legal support for entrepreneurs, from the early analysis of a project through incorporation and the setup of accounting and administration. Its stated clientele ranges from small businesses to large corporations pursuing domestic and cross-border expansion, and it also assists foreign companies that employ staff in France without a local establishment. Much of the published material concerns French rules, such as innovation tax credits and social contributions, so the Portuguese office appears to act as a node of a wider network. The website is available in English and French, and the group cites partnerships with firms abroad, especially in the United States, as part of its international reach.
