AUDIT TRANSMISSION CORPORATE

What AUDIT TRANSMISSION CORPORATE does

Audit Transmission Corporate (legal entity: SARL Alexandre Tellier Consulting) is a Paris-based chartered-accountancy and SME/TPE M&A advisory firm founded in 2004 and registered at 6 rue Papillon, 75009 Paris with €50,000 of capital (RCS 479 454 506). The firm specializes in business transmission (cession and reprise d'entreprise) for French small and very small businesses, with deal sizes historically ranging from €800K to €9M+ in target revenue across more than 16 documented referenceable transactions. Its service portfolio spans four streams: core M&A advisory (evaluation, presentation memorandum, buyer sourcing, negotiation, financing research); traditional accounting and financial advisory (bookkeeping, fiscal optimization, outsourced CFO); social/HR expertise (payroll, employment law, contract management); and specialized support for innovative companies (CIR/JEI filings, financial modeling, fundraising preparation).

The firm operates a pure professional-services model with no proprietary technology platform; its primary 'product' is the personal expertise of founding partner Alexandre Tellier, supported by a small team that includes a head of the social/payroll department (Hélène Bensaid) and an accounting/M&A process supervisor (Karen Sulbert). Headcount is approximately 8. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven: ATC cultivates demand through thought-leadership articles, paid training engagements with professional bodies (CRA, CCIP, Asforef), and repeated speaking appearances at industry events (Transfair, Tour de France de la Transmission, MEDEF, Université d'été des Experts-comptables, Ordre des Experts-comptables de Paris IDF). Distribution is exclusively direct advisory engagements plus referral partnerships with chartered accountants and regional business associations, with no resellers, marketplaces, or international channels. Geographic focus is domestic France (Ile-de-France hub). Revenue, pricing, and contract structures are not publicly disclosed; fees are engagement-based, with deal success-linked remuneration aligning advisor and client incentives.
