One coordinated team
The Four Pillars — and What Connects Them
EUROCAD’s service model covers four practice areas that, in most firms, operate as separate departments or separate firms entirely:
Accounting & Tax
Payroll & HR
Audit
Legal Support
What makes the model work is not simply that these services are offered by the same firm — it is that they are delivered by a coordinated team sharing the same client file, the same information base, and the same deadlines calendar.
In practice
What Integration Means in Practice
No More Month-End Reconciliation Delays
In a fragmented model, payroll data arrives from an external bureau days after the close deadline, triggering a catch-up reconciliation that delays management reporting. At EUROCAD, payroll and accounting run on the same cycle. Payroll entries are booked directly against the correct PCG accounts — including social charges by line, employer contributions, and accruals for paid leave and provisions — so management accounts are complete on time, every month.From Hiring to Ongoing Compliance
Onboarding a new employee in France involves a DPAE filed with URSSAF before the first day of work, a collective agreement (convention collective) identified before the employment contract is drafted, and a DSN cycle that begins from the first pay period. When payroll and HR advisory are handled by the same team, these steps are sequenced correctly from day one — rather than corrected after the fact. For companies managing RSU, ESPP, or stock option plans for French employees, the coordination between payroll treatment (qualified vs. non-qualified plans, withholding obligations) and accounting (expense recognition, social charge provisions) is handled within a single workflow.No Double Handling
When your statutory auditor is a separate firm from your accountant, the audit process involves a significant volume of document requests, explanations, and reconciliations that your team must manage as an intermediary. When EUROCAD acts as both accountant and Commissaire aux Comptes, the audit team already has full access to the accounting file — eliminating the request-response cycle that consumes internal resources during audit season. For subsidiaries subject to group audit by a Big Four firm, EUROCAD operates as a component auditor, providing work papers, schedules, and confirmations in the format the group auditor requires.Setup That Works From Day One
Company formation at EUROCAD is not just filing the registration paperwork. The legal setup is coordinated with the accounting team to ensure the chart of accounts is configured, the fiscal year is correctly defined, VAT registration is filed if required, and the first period’s bookkeeping starts from a clean base — not from a blank file handed over weeks after incorporation.
Your point of contact
One Advisor. Complete Visibility.
Every EUROCAD client is assigned a dedicated advisor who serves as the single point of contact across all services. That advisor is not a generalist account manager — they are a qualified professional with full visibility into your accounting, payroll, tax, and audit file.
In practical terms, this means:
For CFOs and Finance Directors managing French entities from abroad, this is not a convenience — it is a structural reduction in the time spent managing your French compliance setup.
Scope
What the Model Does Not Replace
The EUROCAD One-Stop-Shop covers accounting, payroll, tax, audit, and legal support for French entities. For matters that fall outside this scope — corporate litigation, employment disputes before the Conseil de Prud’hommes, notarial acts, insurance brokerage, or banking relationships — EUROCAD coordinates with its network of specialist partners rather than handling these in-house.
