Barclais CPA

About Barclais CPA

Established in 2006 by Sidney Barclais, this independent Miami CPA practice works with middle-market American subsidiaries of European groups. Its staff combines experience in the United States and France, and the firm says it understands the consolidation and reporting demands that group auditors and head offices in Europe place on foreign-owned subsidiaries. Reporting packages can be prepared under US GAAP, IFRS or French GAAP, and the team follows the tax treaties between the US and European countries. The practice also advises European investors weighing the purchase of a US target through stock or asset deals, with particular suitability for French buyers. Sectors listed range from pharmaceuticals and medical devices to luxury retail, logistics and commodity trading. The site names no other offices, headcount, licence numbers or prices, and does not state which languages are spoken.
