What AFIGEC does

AFIGEC is a France-based accounting and auditing firm headquartered in Levallois-Perret, operating 21 local offices across the country with 34 partners and approximately 400 collaborators serving more than 8,000 clients. Founded in 1981/1982, the firm offers a broad professional services portfolio spanning accounting, payroll, human resources, legal and financial advisory, statutory audit, administrative outsourcing, and — following COFRAC accreditation dated 1 March 2024 — sustainability/CSR audit. AFIGEC is also a member of an international network of 316 firms across 120 countries, enabling cross-border service delivery for multinational clients.

The firm's core offering is built on professional expertise rather than proprietary technology: engagements are largely delivered by credentialed partners and staff, with a digital dematerialization platform and electronic invoicing workflows supporting document handling and regulatory compliance (including alignment with France's mandatory B2B e-invoicing reform). ProtectCompta, a monthly subscription service, layers recurring advisory and compliance protection on top of the traditional engagement model, particularly targeting artisans, micro-enterprises (TPE), and SMEs (PME).

AFIGEC's revenue model is predominantly time-and-materials professional services billed monthly, supplemented by subscription revenue from ProtectCompta. Stated revenue exceeds €37 million. Customer segments are deliberately diversified across business owners, company accountants, business creators, consultants, and internationally-developing companies, which produces a long-tail client base with limited single-customer concentration. Competitive positioning rests on regulatory credentials (COFRAC), local distribution density, multi-decade brand equity, and international network reach rather than technology differentiation.
