FIGUR Conseils Finances inc.

What FIGUR Conseils Finances inc. does

FIGUR Conseils Finances inc. is a privately-held accounting and finance consulting firm headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, founded in 2009 (originally as IFRS Perspective inc.) and co-founded by Annie Allard, CPA and Sébastien Charbonneau, CPA. The firm operates two complementary service lines: Expert Advice, providing project-based consulting engagements in ERP implementation, cost accounting, accounting standards interpretation (IFRS, ASPE, US GAAP), internal control and risk management, FP&A, M&A support, KPI dashboard development, and strategic coaching; and Collaborators, offering temporary resource outsourcing that places vetted professionals (CFO on demand, acting controllers, financial analysts, accounting technicians, payroll specialists) into client organizations to fill short-term resource gaps.

Service delivery is built on a curated network of 40+ accounting and finance professionals rather than a large internal headcount (firmographic core staff is reported at 1-10). The firm's value proposition emphasizes human-centered matching of technical expertise with client context, codified methodologies for ERP implementations across platforms (SAP, S4/Hana, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 Business Central, Great Plains, QuickBooks, Acomba, Sage), and depth in complex accounting standards and cross-border M&A transactions. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-client, relying on a bilingual French/English website, phone, email, and professional network referrals rather than paid channels or resellers.

The firm targets three customer tiers in Quebec: SMEs requiring on-demand accounting expertise, large enterprises with complex reporting and M&A needs, and public entities. Named enterprise clients include Le Marché Du Store (Blinds To Go), Services Documentaires Multimédia (SDM), TV5 Québec Canada, and Industries Lassonde. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts for advisory work and pay-as-you-go billing for staffing engagements. The firm has no disclosed funding, no acquisitions, no M&A activity, and no AI/ML product capability; its growth to date has been entirely organic through referrals, repeat clients, and gradual expansion of its sub-service portfolio.
