Alliott Global Alliance expands to Lyon through Partner Treuhand France

The firm’s team of experienced chartered accountants and auditors offer the full range of accounting, taxation, and auditing services to key clients mainly working across the sales and distribution, automotive, real estate, winery, and tourism industries. The firm also offers specialist employment law consultancy services.

Formed in 2016 and headed up by Managing Partner Patrick Privat de Garilhe, the partners and staff at Partner Treuhand France have accumulated many years’ experience of working with international audit and consulting firms including for Deloitte and PWC and therefore understand the complex tax and accounting requirements of global companies working across jurisdictions. Patrick is also President of the CAFAP (French-German Business Club for the South of France), a network of 20 business clubs in Germany and France, representing 2000+ companies that trade between France and Germany.

Patrick comments:

“Through our membership of AGA, we look forward to raising our international profile by increasing our network of global partners with which we can collaborate. Support from fellow members within the alliance will help us accommodate the needs of our key clients and investors with business interests in Europe, the US and Canada. We are also keen to support multi-national organisations that are looking to establish a presence in the South of France and are here to provide a tailored, bespoke and professional service when required.”

Alliott Global Alliance CEO Giles Brake adds:

“Gaining a stronger foothold in France’s professional services market is an important strategic objective for AGA. With the vibrant Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region receiving significant investment from European and North American investors, there is space in the market for the region’s more agile, locally owned accounting and consulting firms. Specialist, cross border expertise combined with the global resources they can now offer through AGA, puts Partner Treuhand France in an even stronger position to win and service this type of international client. A very warm welcome to Patrick Privat de Garilhe and his team.”

AGA is represented in Paris by law firms Bensussan Berenthal & Associes and CS Advocats Associes and by accounting firm member Cogesten and the alliance has its sights set on expanding its European coverage further in 2021, particularly in Scandinavia, Central & Eastern Europe, and the Balkan Peninsula.
