Professional framework

A state-licensed firm

A team that listens

A qualified team is at your side to guide you, understand your situation, solve your problems and meet your needs. We take care of your obligations to make your life easier, so you can focus on your business.

Working languages: French, Arabic and English.

Our method

Three levels of review on every file.

1 · Entry

From documents to journals

Each document is collected, filed by counterparty, date and type, archived on paper and digitally, then recorded under the Moroccan Chart of Accounts.

2 · Review

A technical check

A second team member checks the trial balance, the consistency of accounts, bank and cash, and analyses balances to spot any anomaly.

3 · Approval

One manager per file

Your file manager approves everything against a checklist. The result: a general ledger available, an up-to-date trial balance, a reliable basis for your financial statements.

Our rule: no entry without a supporting document, no approximate invoice number, no inconsistent account, no file approved without review.

Our values

What guides our work.

Independence

Our advice rests on the law and on your interests.

Confidentiality

Your information stays confidential, without exception.

Rigour

Fully supported accounts, returns filed by the deadline.

Clarity

Every technical term is explained. You know what you sign.

Availability

A contact you can reach, who knows your file.

Our know-how

Four complementary areas. Our core area brings accounting and tax together, and they are part of every engagement.

A written framework

A clear engagement, set out in writing.

Every engagement starts with an engagement letter. It sets out the work entrusted to us, each party's commitments and the fees.

The standard engagement

  • Bookkeeping under the CGNC and the Moroccan Chart of Accounts.
  • Tax returns, monthly, quarterly and annual, prepared and filed online.
  • Payroll and the related social security returns.
  • Minutes of the ordinary general meeting, prepared and filed.
  • Filing of your tax, social security and legal returns with the authorities.

On quotation, at your request

  • HR administration: contracts, hires, departures, final settlements.
  • Fixed assets: asset register, depreciation, disposals and acquisitions.
  • Management tools: budget, dashboards, variance analysis.
  • One-off studies on tax, social security, accounting or organisational matters.
  • Legal work: changes to the articles, drafting of deeds, general meetings.

Our fees depend on the nature of the work, the volume of transactions and the number of employees: a fixed fee for registrations and registers, a monthly fee for bookkeeping and tax returns, a per-employee fee for payroll, and an annual fee for the financial statements and the general meeting. Any work outside the engagement is quoted in advance. Your information remains strictly confidential, during the engagement and after it.
