Working as an accounting manager in France
The job is not regulated, but employers expect solid knowledge of French GAAP (Plan comptable général), French tax returns and work with statutory auditors. The usual path goes through the DCG and DSCG or a master CCA, with several years as comptable or auditor. International experience is valued in group subsidiaries, especially with IFRS reporting, but you still need to master the liasse fiscale and French VAT. The e-invoicing reform from 2026 is a current priority. Search for 'responsable comptable', 'chef comptable', 'responsable comptabilité générale' or 'responsable comptable et fiscal'.
