Question 1 of 520%
What does your business look like?
Team size changes the usefulness of banking, approvals and ERP features.
Freelancer, micro-entrepreneur or part of a team in France?
Choose for the business you run or work for in France. Your daily tasks matter as much as the language you prefer.
Working for yourself
Check how you create quotes, issue invoices and follow payments. Compare what is included in a free plan before adding paid accounting or banking.
Working with a French accountant
Ask your accountant which exports and collaboration tools they use. An English interface should still fit the way you exchange documents with the firm.
Working across languages
Check the language of the workspace, customer invoices and support separately. Use the matcher to describe both your team and your customers.

Your nationality is not the deciding factor. Your company’s situation is.
The reform covers transactions between businesses established in France and subject to French VAT, including businesses under the VAT exemption regime. This guide helps you choose software; it does not replace legal or tax advice.
Read the official explanation on impots.gouv.fr ↗Questions international founders ask first.
Is an emailed PDF enough?
No. Under the reform, structured data must pass through an approved platform; a PDF attached to an email is not sufficient.
Do I need a French-language tool?
No. You need a solution that handles the French rules. The user interface can be in another language when the publisher supports it.
Will FactureMatch ask for my company details?
No. The matcher runs locally and does not request your name, email, SIREN or phone number.
Does this English guide cover France or another country?
It compares software for a business established in France. English is the language of the guide and the requested interface; it does not mean the software follows UK or US rules. Check the French setup with the publisher and your accountant.
