Accounting and tax support for small businesses and sole traders
Running a small business in France means juggling clients, cash flow and a steady stream of filing deadlines. Mivectex provides practical bookkeeping, payroll and tax support built around the way micro-entrepreneurs, sole traders and small companies actually work. We help you keep clean records, understand what you owe and when, and submit accurate returns to URSSAF, the impôts and your social security bodies without last-minute stress. Whether you are just registering your activity or managing an established SARL or SAS, you get clear guidance in plain English and hands-on help with the numbers.
The paperwork that eats your week
For most small business owners in France, accounting is the part of the job nobody trained you for. Rules change often, the terminology is dense, and a missed VAT or URSSAF deadline can trigger penalties that quickly add up. Sole traders under the micro regime worry about whether they are tracking turnover correctly and staying under the thresholds. Small employers struggle with payslips, cotisations sociales and the DSN. Company directors are unsure which expenses are deductible or how to prepare for the annual accounts. The result is often a shoebox of receipts, a nagging sense that something is being missed, and hours lost to admin instead of earning revenue.
Organised books and on-time filings, handled for you
Mivectex takes the guesswork out of your finances by combining routine bookkeeping with proactive tax and payroll support. We set up a simple recordkeeping system, reconcile your accounts regularly, and prepare your VAT returns, income declarations and social contribution filings in line with the deadlines that apply to your status. If you employ staff, we manage payslips, cotisations and the monthly DSN. Throughout the year we flag what is coming up, explain your obligations in advance, and make sure you are not paying more tax or missing a deadline through avoidable oversight. You keep visibility over your numbers; we keep the process running.

Do you work with micro-entrepreneurs as well as companies?
Yes. We support the full range of small structures, from micro-entreprise and individual sole traders (EI) through to EURL, SARL and SAS. The level of support is scaled to your regime, so a micro-entrepreneur gets help with turnover tracking and declarations, while a company gets fuller bookkeeping and annual accounts support.
How do I know which VAT deadlines apply to me?
Your VAT filing frequency depends on your regime and turnover. Some businesses file monthly, others quarterly, and micro-entrepreneurs under the franchise en base may not charge VAT at all until they cross a threshold. We assess your situation, confirm the correct schedule, and handle the returns so you file on time. Our VAT filing deadlines guide covers the basics.
Can you handle payroll if I hire my first employee?
Yes. Taking on a first employee brings new obligations, from contracts and payslips to cotisations sociales and the monthly DSN. We set up compliant payroll, calculate contributions correctly and manage the recurring filings, so you can focus on managing your new team member rather than the paperwork.
What records do I need to keep, and for how long?
You need to retain invoices, receipts, bank statements and payroll documents, with retention periods that vary by document type. Our recordkeeping checklist explains what to keep and for how long. We also help you organise these so that everything is available if the tax authorities ever request it.
I'm not sure which business structure to choose. Can you advise?
We can walk you through the practical accounting and tax implications of the main options so you can make an informed choice. Our guide on choosing a business structure in France is a good starting point, and a consultation lets us tailor the discussion to your activity and expected turnover.
