SARL CGEC

What SARL CGEC does

COURIAT GRELLET EXPERTS COMPTABLES CONSEILS (legal entity: SARL CGEC) is a privately held French chartered accountancy and advisory firm headquartered at 138 Boulevard Nungesser et Coli, Perpignan. Founded in 1982 by Daniel COURIAT, the firm is now jointly led by Gentien COURIAT (Expert-Comptable and Commissaire aux Comptes, joined 2001) and Florent GRELLET (Expert-Comptable, joined 2012, managing partner since 2019). The firm operates a regulated multidisciplinary practice delivering seven core service lines: accounting and tax (Comptabilité & Fiscalité), HR and payroll (Social), business creation (Création d'Entreprise), management consulting (Conseils en Gestion), legal services (Juridique), wealth management (Patrimoine), and statutory audit (Commissariat aux Comptes). It is registered with the Ordre des Experts-Comptables d'Occitanie and the Compagnie des Commissaires aux Comptes of Montpellier (RCS 326 018 165 Perpignan).

The firm serves approximately 400 clients — predominantly entrepreneurs, artisans, traders, liberal professionals, and small-to-medium enterprises — across the Occitanie region (Pyrénées-Orientales, Aude, Tarn, Tarn et Garonne, Hérault) and southern Catalonia. Its underlying technology stack is layered rather than proprietary: the core client portal and accounting platform is Ingeneo Neo-Expert, supplemented by RCA gamme entreprise, Quickbooks, AGIRIS, and EIC for production, and Éditions Francis Lefebvre and Éditions Législatives for legal and tax reference content. Public-facing digital channels include a website with client portal, online financial simulators (loan, compound interest, break-even, mileage, tax), and a newsletter.

The business model is classic professional services: quote-based, partner-led engagement with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, with the firm explicitly stating client referrals are its primary acquisition channel. Revenue is generated across the seven service lines through annual retainer-style engagements, transactional compliance work (tax filings, social declarations, legal filings), and project-based advisory (creation, audit, transfer). The firm emphasizes on-site client visits and direct partner involvement on every engagement, deliberately foregoing a standardized or low-touch delivery model. Because revenue is not publicly disclosed, financial scale is inferred from the ~12-strong workforce and ~400-client base using regional accounting-firm benchmarks.
