Cabinet des Indépendants

What Cabinet des Indépendants does

Cabinet des Indépendants is a French chartered accounting practice (SAS) headquartered in Asnières-sur-Seine, founded in 2019 by a five-person team combining accounting, auditing, and operational expertise in digital businesses. The firm delivers a comprehensive outsourced Financial Director service — covering legal, accounting, fiscal, social, payroll/HR, and strategic advisory — primarily to French entrepreneurs and independent professionals, with a sector focus on digital economy actors such as infopreneurs, agencies, consultants, and coaches. Clients are engaged via a free strategic consultation call, a signed Mission Letter (DocuSign), and a recurring monthly forfait (€250 HT for up to 3 hours of service in 2020 pricing), with a €300 deposit product that lowers onboarding friction at company creation.

The underlying technology stack is conventional and customer-facing rather than proprietary: a web and mobile accounting/invoice management application bundled with the subscription, payment processing via GoCardLess (SEPA direct debit), electronic contract execution via DocuSign, marketing and lead capture via ClickFunnels, and web hosting via OVH. The firm is registered with the Ordre des Experts-Comptables de Paris – Île-de-France, which is a regulatory prerequisite for producing statutory accounts in France. No API, SDK, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed, and there are no public funding rounds, acquisitions, or headcount figures.

The business model is a recurring subscription with a setup fee, hourly overages (€70 HT for collaborators, €140 HT for expert accountants), and optional social and legal add-ons billed per task. Go-to-market is single-channel direct digital: ClickFunnels-driven landing pages, a free consultation funnel, then DocuSign-closed Mission Letters. The firm explicitly states that client count is deliberately limited to preserve service quality, positioning itself as a boutique outsourced CFO rather than a high-volume practice. There are no disclosed enterprise customers, no channel partners, and no active geographic expansion beyond France.
