Amarris Groupe

What Amarris Groupe does

Amarris Groupe is a France-headquartered, privately-held multi-brand network founded in 1999 that delivers accounting, payroll, and business-management services to very small (TPE) and small-to-medium (PME) enterprises. The group operates through nine wholly-owned sub-brands covering generalist accounting (AmarrisEC, Compta-Facile), payroll and HR (TPLP), real estate accounting (Amarris Immo), pharmacy accounting (Pharmalex), Belgian-market accounting (AmarrisBE), client engagement (AmarrisContact), e-commerce merchant services (Ecommerce), and proprietary cloud accounting software (Fizen). Headcount exceeds 2,000 employees serving more than 100,000 clients across France and Belgium, with the network also facilitating over 1,000 business creations per year.

The underlying technology stack is a multi-brand software ecosystem rather than a single unified platform: Fizen provides cloud-based accounting for small businesses, TPLP handles payroll and HR administration, and Compta-Facile operates as an SEO and content resource for top-of-funnel demand generation. Distribution combines a physical network of regional accounting cabinets with brand-specific digital funnels. Revenue is generated through quote-based annual subscriptions for recurring accounting and payroll services, with no publicly disclosed pricing.

The group is institutionally backed by French private equity and corporate investment vehicles, including Naxicap Partners, BNP Paribas Développement, Arkéa Capital Investissement, and Ouest Croissance. Recent strategic activity includes the 2024 launch of the AmarrisBE brand for Belgium and an Ecommerce-focused sub-brand for online merchants, indicating continued geographic and vertical expansion.
