MaCompta.fr

MaCompta.fr is an online accounting suite from a French publisher of the same name. A chartered accountant founded the company, and it is now listed on the stock exchange under the ticker ALCPA. You buy it as separate modules: simplified or full accounting, invoicing, fixed assets, tax filings and payroll. The full accounting module adds VAT management, customer and supplier ledgers, account matching (lettrage), analytic accounting and French management indicators (SIG tables). The tax filing module calculates the main French returns, including VAT, corporate tax and the liasse fiscale, and files them by EDI. Payroll produces compliant payslips and the monthly DSN declaration. The suite suits French sole traders, associations, the liberal professions, tradespeople and small companies with fewer than about 20 employees. Prices are per module, quoted excluding VAT, and annual billing costs about 12 percent less than monthly. For example, full accounting is 17.50 euros a month or 15.40 euros a month billed annually. Payroll costs 19 euros a month plus 6 euros per payslip. Three users are included and each extra user costs 3 euros a month. Phone support is a paid option. Integrations are mostly internal: validated invoices post automatically to the books, and bank feeds come through Budget Insight. Reviewers point out that it has no stock management, an interface that looks dated, and limited customization. It is also built for French rules only, so it does not fit international businesses.
