BDO

What BDO offers English speakers in Nice

BDO is a global audit and advisory network and this is its Nice office, covering accountancy, payroll, tax and corporate advisory work. Its value for the readers of this site is concentrated in one thing that its English-speaking clients keep describing: structuring affairs that sit across the Channel. Béranger Foltz is named by several of them, for advice on setting up a company as a new resident, for keeping up with French tax obligations, and specifically for explaining where French accounting departs from what a British owner expects.

That is a real specialism and the reviews attesting to it are detailed. The critical reviews are equally detailed and need reading alongside them. Two clients describe being unable to get calls returned for months, one on behalf of an elderly relative left stranded with a tax problem, and another describes two significant errors, one on the payroll side, which the firm did not accept responsibility for. A large practice can be excellent at the advisory work and poor at routine responsiveness. Establish who handles your file day to day, not just who you met.
