TGS France

What TGS France does

TGS France is a privately held French multi-disciplinary professional services group providing accounting, statutory audit, payroll and HR, legal, IT/digital transformation, consulting, wealth management, and social protection services to roughly 35,000 clients across France. Its core market is French SMEs and mid-market companies (TPE, PME, ETI), with additional dedicated practices for startups, franchise networks, agriculture/viticulture, the camping and outdoor hospitality (HPA) sector, real estate property owners (LMNP/SCI), associations, and public-sector entities. Services are delivered through a network of 92+ owned agency offices concentrated in western and northern France, complemented by digital service delivery via the Livli online accounting platform, the Mon Appli Paie payroll portal, the Mon Espace Client portal, and an e-invoicing service line tied to upcoming French e-invoicing mandates.

The group is organized around multiple wholly owned sub-brands that retain specialized identities: Livli (online accounting), TGS France Avocats (legal services), Quadr'Innov (innovation/R&D tax credit advisory), Socia3 (social/payroll services), Groupe DSA (regional accounting and audit), and Cabinet Bocquier (regional accounting). The core delivery model relies on 1,750 professionals, of whom approximately 800 are dedicated to the accounting practice and 70 are diploma-holding chartered accountants (experts-comptables), with statutory audit, legal, IT, and HR-practitioners covering the remaining headcount. The technology stack combines first-party digital products (Livli, Mon Appli Paie) with reselling and integration of third-party business management software (EBP Ligne PME for general SMEs, CODIAL Bâtiment for construction/trades), and supports an internal training center (Centre de formation) plus a quality-certified operations footprint (ISO 9001 across six Hauts-de-France agencies).

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring subscription-style engagements for ongoing accounting, payroll, and audit work, supplemented by project-based fees for legal, M&A advisory, IT/digital transformation, and consulting engagements. Pricing is quote-based and customized to company size, sector, and service scope, with no public pricing disclosed. The firm is part of the TGS Global international network of 61 partner firms, enabling cross-border services for clients with international operations, while remaining a domestic France-focused business with no disclosed international revenue concentration.
