What FIBA does

FIBA is a regional, independent French accounting, audit and consulting firm headquartered in Schiltigheim near Strasbourg and operating through 17 offices across Alsace, Moselle and Île-de-France. Founded in 1969 as a cabinet d'expertise comptable in Strasbourg and incorporated as FIBA SAS, the firm employs approximately 260 collaborators including chartered accountants, statutory auditors and in-house lawyers, serving businesses and individuals across the full company lifecycle, from creation through daily management to transmission. Its primary revenue streams are recurring accounting and advisory retainers, statutory and contractual audit engagements, payroll and HR services, and personal tax and wealth advisory for individuals, with supplementary revenue from professional training and a growing CSR/RSE practice.

The firm's product surface combines traditional professional services with a recently launched proprietary digital platform called FIBACO, which provides clients with document management, accounting data access, payroll, invoicing, cash management and expense reporting through a self-service portal. Adjacent offerings include electronic invoicing services tied to the 2026 French regulatory mandate, GDPR compliance support, international business advisory, and sector-specific expertise spanning 13+ verticals including artisans, hospitality, construction, liberal professions, public sector entities, associations, franchise networks, agriculture/viticulture and arts.

FIBA's go-to-market is sales-led and direct, leveraging a dense regional office footprint, content marketing via blog and webinars, an active multilingual social presence (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), community sponsorships with SIG Strasbourg and local non-profits, and an online client profiling tool that routes prospects into appropriate service lines. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around tailored service plans rather than standardized list rates. The firm positions itself as an engaged regional alternative to national Big-Four and mid-tier networks, anchored by 50+ years of brand presence, a registered trademark, GDPR/CNIL compliance, and statutory audit credentials.
