Hello
I don't know where to ask my question.
Do you have a lead?
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards

Hello
The best thing to do is to contact an accounting firm that will do your accounting in part or in full. A chartered accountant is also an accountant (or more precisely the employees of his accounting department) but with the advantage is that he must know all the specificities of all the professions and in particular the management of industrial risk frequent for a design office.
What differentiates an accountant from a chartered accountant is that he is not simply responsible for keeping the accounts.
Kind regards

PS: Double-entry accounting should not be confused with murky part-based accounting. Just as there should not be any results counted in T between the two, my heart swings.
Do you know what differentiates an accountant from a car mechanic?
- The mechanic puts weights to rebalance.
- the accountant, when these accounts are unbalanced, it means that the accounts are weighted.

Hello Thank you for your answer.
I don't think it's possible to know all the specificities of all the professions. Accounting is no exception to the rule in my opinion.
I imagine that there are among us, pros dealing with an accountant or chartered accountant specialized in BE Taxation.
Kind regards.
Hello
An accountant is all about numbers; he works only according to the data that is provided to him. My wife is an accountant, she did 10 years in a firm. She took care of hairdressers, bakers and locksmiths etc. and now she's CFO in the group that poached her. These are just numbers that they need, material bills, machine depreciation and nothing else..
Hello
Thank you for your answer.
Numbers are the input for accountants, yes.
I think Visiativ is concerned about the relationship between accountants and their client. https://www.visiativ.com/visiativ-annonce-nouvelle-offre-accompagner-transformation-numerique-experts-comptables-renforcer-proximite-leurs-clients/
That's why I opened this tread: to get in touch with a chartered accountant or an accountant specialized in the design offices and to be advised as best as possible to optimize our structure.
Kind regards
Good evening caodao50
That's not what I read!!!
"New offer to support the digital transformation of chartered accountants" and also """ Digital technology and new technologies are leading to a real transformation of the profession of chartered accountant, which must adapt to the new requirements of its customers".
This has nothing to do with the PB of the BEs.
I join @ac cobra because in large companies (such as "**** telecom" where I worked for more than 30 years) within the central accounting department, there is a legal department that deals with everything legal and tax and the chartered accountant (or the auditor) takes care of the accounting orthodoxy and the regularity of the accounts.
In a BE there is either an obligation of means, or of results, or both: but generally treated separately. Most design offices have their work validated for an office like Veritas. Insurance only covers you if the work is certified in one way or another, either by enforceable calculation notes, compliance with standards, etc...
You also say """ to be advised in the best way to optimize our structure.
In my first answer I was not precise enough so in summary and from my experience in the field: a chartered accountant and a lawyer specialized in your field of activity (often accounting firms offer these two services but it is a legal within the accounting limit). Everything related to guarantees, poor workmanship, machine breakdown, disaster of property and people, etc... are not in the accounting field, but pure legal (or even legal specialist in the field (chemistry or metallurgy as you say implicitly it is not the same thing).
Kind regards
PS: we can discuss it if you want ;-)
Hello
Thank you for your clarifications, I have an appointment with an accountant this evening.
