Jpa International

What Jpa International does

JPA International is a global network of independent audit, accounting, tax, and consultancy firms headquartered in Paris, France. Founded in 1987 by Jacques Potdevin, the network comprises 210+ offices across 85+ countries with 4,650+ professionals serving 50,000+ clients. The network operates as a coordinator rather than a single corporate entity: member firms maintain legal and operational independence while sharing the JPA International brand, methodologies, and cross-border referral infrastructure. The network is currently led by CEO Hervé Puteaux and is consistently ranked among the Top 25 international accounting networks globally. It is also a member of the Forum of Firms under IFAC, placing it within a select group of internationally recognized accounting alliances that meet IFAC's quality and ethics standards.

The network's primary product surface includes the JPA iTraveler mobile app, which supports member-firm collaboration, client referral tracking, and cross-border engagement coordination. Underlying infrastructure includes Regional Platforms designed to coordinate service delivery across major geographies. As a coordinator entity, JPA International itself does not directly deliver professional services — those are delivered by member firms. The coordinator captures revenue through membership fees and shared-service contributions from member firms, rather than direct client billing for engagements. Member firms serve a long-tail of SMB, mid-market, and multinational clients requiring coordinated cross-border audit, tax, and advisory work.

JPA International pursues organic growth through geographic member-firm additions rather than external capital deployment. The company is private with no disclosed external investment. Recent strategic additions include member firms in Ireland, Argentina, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh, and the Maldives, alongside the 2021 entry into India. The network's competitive positioning is anchored on its multi-decade brand, Forum of Firms regulatory standing, and breadth of physical presence across 85+ jurisdictions — capabilities that single-country firms cannot easily replicate.
