About us
Our company was founded in 1972, in the centre of Nice, France. At that time, the aim of the company’s founder, Gérard Ruff, was to set up a local and highly technical accounting firm.
We strive to uphold this goal by supporting and advising executives of VSEs/SMEs and foreign investors every day.

Today, the company has about 70 highly qualified employees and seven partners in Nice, Mouans-Sartoux, Le Cannet-des-Maures, Cannes and Saint-Tropez.
The diversity of our professional profiles enables us to offer a broad range of services, from audits and statutory auditing, to consulting in management and development strategy, accounting, business valuation and tax, legal and social affairs.
In 2020, more than 1,500 enterprises and 350 private individuals, in France and abroad, put their faith in us. Faced with this strong growth and the digital transformation of our profession and the economy, our firm works with strategic local and international partners (FranceDéfi, PrimeGlobal, etc.).
