Why choose an accountant based in Reims?
In Reims, the local economy is still dominated by services. A study by the Grand Reims urban planning agency, based on 2016 data, counts nearly 12,400 establishments in the city. That is slightly more than half of those in the urban community. Services account for 66.6% of establishments. Across Grand Reims, more than 24,500 establishments are recorded, of which 20.7% are craft businesses. Farming, closely tied to winegrowing, makes up 18.6%, ahead of retail at 16.2%. These figures are old and should be read as an order of magnitude. They show an area where craftspeople, shopkeepers, service providers and wine estates coexist. Each profile has its own tax rules. Your Reims-based accountant (expert-comptable) helps you choose the regime that suits your activity.
Your Viseeon expert in Reims knows these realities. They can meet you at the office or talk by video, as you prefer.
