When I first moved to France, I was looking for someone similar. I would modify your request to English thinking. French accountants seem to think they are paid to meet the needs of the state, not their client. Fiscalists are the profession that deal with complicated issues.

I now use Vincent Grey from www.club95.fr; he deals with most things by email, or phone.

Unless your affairs are very complicated, I am sure that he can help you, at very reasonable cost.

No. I'm looking to raise some general issues, so location is not important.

In fact, they are.
This is France.

I'm just about to change accountants to this guy:
Jim Johnson
Tel: 05 62 31 82 89

My current accountant is dumping me as I'm not a big enough business to interest him although he's been doing my accounts since 2004.

Jim is an English guy but works with a French accounting practice.
