Core offering

Fred de la compta is a free intermediary matching platform that connects French businesses (auto-entrepreneurs, liberal professionals, SMEs, and real estate investors) with a vetted network of partner chartered accountants (experts-comptables) specialized in their sector of activity. The company does not deliver accounting services itself; it earns referral fees from partner accounting firms while offering clients transparent, unified pricing, no-commitment switching, and access to the Inqom collaborative accounting software.

Product overview

Fred de la compta operates as a business matching platform that connects companies with specialized accounting experts through a network of partner firms. Rather than producing accounting directly, Fred provides free matching services with sector-specialized experts, supplemented by the Inqom collaborative accounting software for real-time accounting management. The offering also includes accounting automation through custom connectors, IT management tool consulting, business creation support, and specialized services for SCI/LMNP real estate management. All partner firms adhere to Fred's transparent, unified pricing structure.
