CABINET RIVIERE

What CABINET RIVIERE does

Cabinet Rivière & Associés is a regional French accounting and business advisory firm operating as a SELARL (Société d'Exercice Libéral à Responsabilité Limitée), headquartered in Toulouse with a secondary office in Arcachon. The firm was founded in 1967 by Gérard Rivière and converted to its current multi-partner SELARL structure in 2000, employing 15 people as of the 2000 transformation. It serves small and medium enterprises and individual entrepreneurs across the Occitanie and Nouvelle-Aquitaine regions.

The firm delivers six integrated service lines: accounting and IT organization (Comptabilité et Organisation Informatique), taxation (Fiscalité), payroll and HR consulting (Paie & Conseil Social), legal advisory (Conseil Juridique), audit, valuation and business transmission, and management consulting (Développement & Conseil). Technology is limited to standard French accounting and business management software tools typical of the profession, with no proprietary platforms, AI capabilities, or digital product surfaces. The firm has no patents, trademarks, certifications, or third-party partnerships disclosed, and operates with a minimal digital footprint consisting of a basic website and a Facebook page.

The business model is traditional professional services: revenue is generated through fee-based engagements, pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and client acquisition relies on direct relationships, word-of-mouth referrals, and face-to-face consultations delivered from its physical offices. Distribution is entirely direct-to-client with no channel intermediaries. The firm has no external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, and operates as a founder-influenced private practice with Gérard Rivière maintaining an active public-facing role.
