What ORCOM does

ORCOM is a French accounting, audit, and business advisory firm founded in 1979 in Orléans by Michel Martin, operating as an independent partnership with 96 partners and 1,650 collaborators. The firm serves small and medium enterprises, mid-size ETIs, public-sector organizations, healthcare establishments, agricultural businesses, startups, and liberal professionals through a network of 55 physical sites across France and 10 international offices in the USA, China, and the UK, supplemented by BKR International membership for cross-border engagements. Service lines span the full business lifecycle: accounting and annual accounts preparation, statutory audit and commissariat aux comptes, corporate and personal tax advisory, corporate law, payroll and HR consulting, M&A transaction advisory, wealth management, international advisory, and CSR/CSRD sustainability reporting.

The firm has developed a proprietary digital platform stack under the "MA" brand — MA PA ORCOM (certified electronic invoicing for French regulatory compliance), MA COMPTA (online accounting), MA GESTION (business management and BI), and MA PAIE (payroll) — delivered through the ORCOM Connect client portal for 24/7 access. Since 2014, ORCOM has organized expertise into 12+ specialized sector "Poles de Competences" covering agriculture, public sector, healthcare, transport, real estate, sports, and others. The firm also operates École ORCOM for professional training and the ORCOM Foundation (est. 2016) for youth-focused philanthropy.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based, quote-driven professional services engagements with multi-year contracts, combining recurring subscription-like mandates (accounting, payroll, audit) with transactional advisory (M&A, tax, legal). Customer acquisition is relationship-led through local offices, supported by content marketing, webinars, social media, and partnerships with STATION F, French Tech Loire Valley, and sector networks. The firm holds ISO 9001 and Engagé RSE certifications, and is a wholly independent, partner-owned business with no disclosed private equity or venture capital involvement. A wholly-owned US subsidiary, ORCOM-KVB, supports the firm's North American practice.
