What Pyramide Conseils does

Pyramide Conseils is a privately held French chartered accounting firm (cabinet expert-comptable) founded in 1992 and headquartered at 31 rue Laure Diebold, Lyon 9. The firm delivers an integrated suite of professional services including expertise comptable (bookkeeping and annual accounts), gestion sociale et paies (payroll and social compliance), audit and commissariat aux comptes (statutory audit), and droit des affaires et fiscalité (business law, legal secretarial, and tax advisory), supplemented by specialized advisory for business creation, transmission/succession, and turnaround situations. It serves approximately 3,000 clients across Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes via four physical offices (Lyon HQ, Villefranche-sur-Saône, Craponne, and a fourth regional location), with a workforce of roughly 120 collaborators including 9 chartered expert accountants.

Underlying the service portfolio is a digital layer built around the My Pyramide online client portal (secure document exchange, real-time KPI monitoring), a KPI studio with dashboards, a paperless digital expense management solution with Smart-Can scanning, and a suite of web-based financial simulators (loan, ROI, break-even, expense). The firm also operates a Qualiopi-certified training organization, runs Factur-X electronic invoicing advisory and events, and integrates with partners including DigitalCover (insurance software) and DataDock (training funding). It is GDPR/RGPD compliant, with data hosted exclusively on French OVH infrastructure.

The business model is service-based and recurring: subscription/professional services engagements across accounting, payroll, audit, and advisory, priced on a quote basis per engagement rather than via disclosed list pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led and regional, relying on direct office visits, phone/video consultation, and the My Pyramide portal. The firm is a member of the Russell Bedford International network (awarded 'Network of the Year' in 2019/2020, ranked 18th in European networks) and joined the Acom Expertise group in 2024, both of which extend referral reach and operational resources.

Expansion highlights7 records

Broad incumbents

• KPMG France: Big Four incumbent with full-service audit, tax, and advisory capabilities. Represents the upper bound of competitive pressure on regional firms seeking to win enterprise audit and advisory work.
• Grant Thornton France: Mid-tier international accounting network with significant French presence. Overlaps with Pyramide on audit, advisory, and tax for ETI and group clients across France, but with broader geographic reach.
• Mazars: Major international accounting and advisory firm with deep French roots. Competes for larger ETI and group audit mandates in the Lyon region that Pyramide's 27th-ranked 'structures et filiales' status prevents it from dominating.
• Fiducial: Large French national accounting firm specializing in TPE/PME with offices nationwide. Competes head-to-head for very small business clients in the same Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes geography but at significantly greater scale.
• Crowe France: International accounting network with French member firms offering audit, accounting, and advisory. Comparable mid-market positioning and network-driven growth model similar to Pyramide's Russell Bedford affiliation.
• BDO France: Global accounting network with strong French footprint serving mid-market and large enterprises. Competes for the same PME/ETI audit and advisory mandates that Pyramide targets.

Direct peers

• Baker Tilly France: Mid-tier French accounting and audit network member of Baker Tilly International. Comparable in size, mid-market positioning, and multi-service (audit, advisory, accounting) offering — competes for the same regional enterprise mandates.
• Orcom: French mid-sized regional accounting and advisory firm with comparable multi-office structure and SME/ETI client focus. Direct competitor for mid-market accounting, payroll, and advisory mandates in the regions.
• In Extenso: French national accounting and advisory network serving TPE/PME with a comparable service portfolio (accounting, payroll, legal, advisory) and regional office model. Closest French competitor by service mix and client segment.

Emerging players

• Pennylane: French AI-native accounting and financial management platform targeting TPE/PME and the accountants who serve them. Represents the digital-first disruptor threat that could erode traditional regional accounting firm economics.
