Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves15 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Wavestone: Major French-origin consulting firm combining technology and management advisory. Comparable because its Microsoft data and AI practice competes for CFO-office transformation mandates against F31's specialist offering, with much larger delivery capacity.
• Talan: International consulting and tech firm with a French stronghold and active Microsoft data / Power BI practice. Comparable as a broader-services competitor that overlaps with F31 in data analytics and Microsoft-based BI delivery for enterprise clients.
• Alvarez & Marsal: Global professional services firm with a strong performance improvement and financial advisory practice. Comparable to F31 in serving CFO and PE clients with custom modeling, value-creation, and turnaround financial analysis engagements.
• Capgemini: Global systems integrator with deep Microsoft partnership and large data/analytics practices. Comparable as the largest-scale competitor capable of delivering end-to-end Microsoft-stack finance transformation programs that F31 typically supports as a specialist partner.
• Devoteam: European IT consulting group with a strong Microsoft partnership and substantial Power Platform / Data & AI practices. Comparable as a larger incumbent that competes for the same Microsoft-stack enterprise modernization budgets but at significantly greater scale.

Others

• Pigment: Cloud-native FP&A and business planning platform with strong traction among French enterprise CFOs (e.g., LVMH ecosystem). Comparable as a software alternative to F31's custom Power BI/Excel FP&A solutions, with growing enterprise mindshare.
• Anaplan: Enterprise FP&A and planning platform vendor. Comparable because it is sometimes the alternative vs. F31's custom FP&A builds — enterprises weighing buy vs. build on the Microsoft stack will compare F31's bespoke projects against licensing Anaplan.

Direct peers

• UpSlide: Sister company under the Pyramid Group; offers Excel and PowerPoint productivity add-ins targeting the same CFO-office buyer. Comparable because it sells standardized Microsoft-stack productivity tools to the same French enterprise finance audience F31 serves with custom builds.
• Cellenza: French consultancy specialized in Microsoft technologies (Azure, .NET, Power Platform). Comparable as a Microsoft-focused boutique that delivers custom enterprise solutions to mid-market and large French accounts, overlapping with F31's Power BI and Power Apps practices.
• Accuracy: Independent French financial and strategic consulting firm where co-founder Philippe Chazalon previously worked. Highly comparable as a boutique provider of financial modeling, valuation, and transaction advisory services to enterprise and PE clients.
