What CABINET CONSEIL BURBAN ET ASSOCIES, et par abréviation CCBA does

Cabinet Conseil Burban et Associés (CCBA) is a privately held French accounting and statutory audit firm headquartered at 146 rue Paul Bellamy, Nantes, with continuous operation since its founding in 1988. The firm provides a comprehensive suite of professional services for small and micro enterprises, artisans, liberal professionals, non-profit associations, and civil companies, primarily within the Nantes metropolitan area and the broader Pays de la Loire region. Core service lines include expertise comptable (recurring accounting, bookkeeping, financial statements), commissariat aux comptes (statutory audit), fiscal, social, and legal advisory, plus complementary offerings in business creation assistance, M&A advisory, wealth management, and professional training. Approximately 80% of clients are business founders or associations, positioning the firm as a specialist advisor at the incorporation stage.

The practice operates with a team of approximately 5–8 professionals (three partners — Grégory Burban, Aline Dupé, and Alexandra Gréau — plus two salaried expert accountants, Philippe Duranteau and Jeason Ménager), all of whom began their careers at the firm. The firm is regulated under the Ordre des Experts-Comptables de la Région des Pays de la Loire and the Compagnie des Commissaires aux Comptes Ouest-Atlantique. There is no proprietary technology platform; the practice relies on direct advisory delivery (face-to-face and remote) and publishes an informational website featuring topical regulatory articles and online financial simulators.

Revenue is generated predominantly through recurring annual mandates for accounting, payroll, and tax compliance, supplemented by project-based fees for statutory audits, M&A transactions, and business creation engagements. Pricing is set on a quote basis per engagement with no public rate card. Client acquisition is primarily driven by word-of-mouth, local professional networks, and the firm's 35-year reputation in the regional market. The capital social is €10,000, and the firm operates from a single Nantes office with no disclosed expansion plans, external investment, or M&A activity.
