Why choose an accountant based in Strasbourg?
Strasbourg belongs to the trinational Upper Rhine metropolitan region, home to 6.3 million people according to CCI Alsace Eurométropole. In Alsace, services account for 42.9% of establishments, industry for 20.3% and retail for 17.5%. Alsace saw 24,988 businesses created in 2025, of which 77.1% were sole proprietorships. The city also hosts European institutions, which attract consulting, translation and representation activities. Proximity to Germany and Switzerland creates particular situations: cross-border clients, intra-EU VAT (TVA intracommunautaire) and cross-border employees. A Strasbourg business owner should anticipate these from the start. Your accountant (expert-comptable) advises you on these points. They also help you choose between a sole proprietorship and a company, depending on your ambitions and risk level.
Your Viseeon expert in Strasbourg knows these realities. They can meet you at the office or talk by video, as you prefer.
