Since 2013, Bpifrance has become the one stop shop for entrepreneurs with a vastly comprehensive toolbox offered in the field to customers through 50 local branches. Our mission is simple: we believe in serving the future, by being entrepreneur-centric and heavily decentralized. Bpifrance’s goal is to favour the growth of the French economy by helping entrepreneurs thrive. We are the trusted partner of entrepreneurs and champion the interests of those who are visionaries; those who dare to take risks in order to take their businesses further. We have many resources at our disposal to help entrepreneurs, the champions of the 21st century, succeed. We mainly support micro-businesses, SMEs and mid-caps but we also accompany large caps that are considered important to the interests of France in terms of national economy, the territories or employment.

Our firm, Jade Fiducial, is led by French and American CPAs who have perfect knowledge of the American and French tax systems. Since the french-american tax treaty is very intricate and as nothing should be left to chance in tax matters, your tax affairs must be given serious consideration. Having our CPAs on your side, who fully understand the critical aspects of your taxes, ensures that you will comply with all tax return requirements and will have accurate advice to help you minimize your global tax situation on both sides of the Atlantic. Our daily goal is to never make you pay more than you owe and help you save tax dollars!
