Are you used to collaborating with venture capital or private equity funds during expansion phases?

Yes, collaboration with Venture Capital (VC) funds and private investors is an integral part of our advisory practice. Since our clientele consists mainly of fast-growing scale-ups and fund-backed companies, our role naturally extends beyond basic accounting and tax compliance.

We are accustomed to working closely with the parent company’s investors (whether US or French-based) both during and after their funding rounds.

1. Ensuring investor trust and transparency

Our value lies in our ability to create a financial and governance bridge between the European subsidiary, the US headquarters, and its investors.

Unified reporting

We configure the subsidiary’s financial reporting (statements, KPIs) so it is directly readable and actionable by US investors, even though the local accounts are maintained under French standards (PCG).

Tax compliance assurance

We ensure that financial flows and key setup decisions (legal structure, transfer pricing) are optimized and fully compliant, thereby reducing the tax risk perceived by investors during future due diligence.

2. Our role during due diligence (DD)

During a funding round or acquisition, the performance and compliance of the European subsidiary are scrutinized. We act as a single, bilingual point of contact for all local financial aspects:

Dossier preparation

We help structure and prepare the subsidiary’s financial data to respond quickly and accurately to requests from the VC’s auditors and lawyers.

Explaining variances

We are adept at explaining the differences in accounting standards (US GAAP vs. PCG) and justifying consolidation adjustments, significantly accelerating the financial due diligence process.

3. Supporting post-funding acceleration

Once funds are secured, we help the scale-up safely utilize that capital to accelerate its expansion:

HR structuring

We advise on the rapid implementation of local employment contracts and compensation packages that are both competitive and compliant with European tech market practices.

Flow optimization

We assist in optimizing cash management and capital flows between entities to maximize the operational efficiency of the invested funds.

Conclusion

By collaborating with Impulsa and Orbiss, VCs and investors gain assurance that their European portfolio expansion is managed with the financial rigor and legal compliance they require.
