ACC

What ACC does

ACC (legal entity: SARL APECA COMPTABILITE CONSEIL – "A.C.C") is a privately held French chartered accounting and audit firm headquartered in Draguignan, operating six offices across the Var department in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Founded in 2002 by Guy LEFEBVRE, the firm serves approximately 3,200 clients (with a secondary source citing 2,500) across small and medium enterprises (PME), micro-enterprises (TPE), artisans, liberal professionals, and associations. ACC is led by a partner group of six expert-comptables (Guy LEFEBVRE, Laurent GIRARD, Yves MEYJONADE, Romain FROMENT, and others) supported by 80+ total collaborators, and operates in three languages (French, English, Italian).

The firm's service portfolio covers six core lines: accounting and bookkeeping (tenue comptable), payroll and social administration (paie & social), statutory and contractual audit (audit légal – CAC), tax advisory (fiscalité), business creation and transfer (entreprise), executive wealth advisory (dirigeant), and international cross-border services (ACC International). ACC has built a digital platform branded "ACC Digital" that aggregates third-party tools — DEXT for invoice capture, Silaexpert for payroll, I Suite (ACD) for client-side bookkeeping input, Welyb for document management, Limpeed for healthcare professionals, and Mon Expert en Gestion for quoting/invoicing. The firm claims an AI/Chatbot layer under the "ACC Innovation" banner, though no proprietary AI capabilities are detailed.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual subscriptions for accounting services (€500–€10,000 per client, averaging ~€3,000), per-mandate statutory audit fees (€2,000–€6,000), transformation/merger commissioner mandates (€1,000–€2,500), and professional services for payroll and advisory. The firm reports €7 million in annual revenue. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, distributed through six physical offices and complemented by network referrals via Absoluce (national) and INAA Group (international, six continents). No external funding, parent company, or M&A activity is disclosed. The ownership structure is held among the partner group, with stated share capital of €1,146,612.
