Exasud

What Exasud does

Exasud is a French Association de Gestion et de Comptabilité (AGC), a member-governed accounting and management cooperative, founded in 1984 in Auch, Gers, and operating today under the legal name Association de Gestion et de Comptabilité EXASUD (SIREN 343 810 602). The organization provides five integrated service lines to approximately 1,000 members (adhérents): Comptabilité (accounting/bookkeeping/tax filings), Juridique (legal advisory and corporate secretarial), Social (payroll, employment contracts, DSN declarations), Gestion (management advisory), and Accompagnement (business coaching and feasibility studies), plus Qualiopi-certified training delivered through partner Le Cartable dans le Pré.

The technology stack is built on industry-standard French professional-services platforms rather than proprietary AI or proprietary platform technology. Exasud uses CEGID Expert for accounting and member portal access, SILAE for payroll processing, and offers a proprietary document digitization application (Application de digitalisation des documents) to streamline member document workflows, with TeamViewer used for remote member support. All core technology integrations are customer-facing tool enablement rather than technology product development.

The business model is professional-services revenue: Exasud charges members via custom quote-based pricing on monthly billing cadence, with services scoped to each member's business type and complexity. The GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven via four physical agencies (Auch HQ, Réalmont, Montauban, Eauze) targeting very small businesses (TPE) and small businesses (PME) across five vertical sectors: agriculture (Métiers de la terre, primary segment), commerce/retail, crafts/trades, liberal professions, and renewable energy operators. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors of farmers, merchants, and artisans, with Hervé Oule as President and Fabienne François as Directrice. The AGC is affiliated with the Ordre des Experts-Comptables, and partners with CLCG-FNAGA for agricultural sector referrals. The entity has no external investors, no funding rounds, and is a nonprofit member-governed structure employing approximately 35–38 collaborators.
