Why choose an accountant based in Le Mans?
According to Insee (Flash Pays de la Loire no. 125, June 2022), Le Mans has a fairly unspecialised job market. Finance and insurance account for 7% of jobs, two points more than in comparable cities. Industry accounts for 10%, and trade, transport and accommodation and food service for 21%. According to 2023 data, the municipality has 86,245 jobs, 36.0% of them in public administration, education and health. On the start-up side, 2,053 businesses were created in 2025, 81.7% as sole proprietorships (entreprise individuelle).
