The job is not regulated. The most common qualification is the Titre professionnel secrétaire comptable, a level 4 vocational title from the Ministry of Labour, often taken by adults through AFPA or other training centres. A BTS Comptabilité et gestion or BTS Gestion de la PME also opens the door. French accounting follows the Plan comptable général and French tax forms, so experience abroad needs to be translated into those terms.
