A legally authorized mission, yet barely used

Since article 37 of the PACTE law (May 22, 2019), accountants can recover their clients' debts. Out of 21,000 firms in France (CSOEC), fewer than 5% have activated this mission, due to lack of suitable tools.

The PACTE law opens recovery, but no one uses it

The PACTE law allows you to collect on behalf of your clients. Fewer than 5% of firms have activated this mission, due to lack of suitable tools.

Unpaid invoices, the number one problem for your SME clients

25% of business failures in France are caused by unpaid invoices (FIGEC). Your clients lose revenue and cash flow. You see the problem in their accounts, but have no solution to offer.

No resources to chase payments

Calling debtors, tracking payment promises, sending formal notices: no firm has a dedicated recovery officer. The mission remains theoretical.

No recovery tool in the accounting stack

Your accounting software handles invoicing, not recovery. There are no reminder scenarios, no automated calls, no payment links integrated into your stack.

Generate recurring revenue for your firm, without hiring.

SME client invoices Unpaid fees Trade receivables
"From mere observers of the collection of receivables on their clients' accounts, accountants thus become true actors in the process. This will spare the client from resorting to a judge and help preserve, as far as possible, peaceful commercial relations between the parties."
Rémy Seguin, then Vice-President of CSOEC, during the PACTE law vote (2019)
