French bureaucracy, renowned for its paperwork and red tape, can be confusing and daunting, particularly for newcomers or those who are not yet fluent in French.
C’est Comme Ça Bilingual Consultancy provides a wide range of services to English-speakers in France, helping navigate day-to-day administration, bureaucracy and fiscal obligations, and offering comprehensive support for business projects. Leaving you free to get on with what is important to you.
Having set up C’est Comme Ça Bilingual Consultancy Services in 2017, the business has grown far beyond my initial expectations, and I am now proud to be able to say that I have more than two hundred satisfied clients.
Fortunate enough to having been educated both in the UK and in France, this has enabled me to appreciate, and work successfully with, the cultural and bureaucratic differences between the two countries. Essential if you are expected to understand what is required and how to achieve it. This puts me in an ideal position to advise and guide anglophones with their administrative affairs in France.
The rapid growth of my business has allowed me to move my base of operations from my home to office premises where I can receive clients in more appropriate surroundings. Although many of my clients are local, I do have clients all over France – most of my job can be done remotely, via email or telephone, so that distance is no object.
Much of my work focuses on the preparation and submission of personal income tax returns (a legal requirement for all French residents); applications to the healthcare and social security systems, and the set-up and management of small businesses. I also handle driving licence exchanges, foreign car registrations and other administrative matters and am always happy to discuss any requirements.
