English accountants in Paris
People who are thinking of doing business in France or becoming residents here are usually aware of what is known as the language barrier. Many assume that this will not pose a problem.
In reality there is, in the tax and accounting sphere, a gulf of incomprehension between Great Britain and France as wide as the Grand Canyon.
What you need is a specialised general practice firm of accountants whose niche activity is providing the services of a team of British nationals who have trained as accountants in France and who not only understand the French business and tax environment, but also the interface with your own country.
James Howes & Co is the firm you are looking for.
