Chartered Accountant Consultant — Cabinet Hayot Expertise
Accounting issues specific to independent consultants
The profession of independent consultant (IT, strategy, management, marketing) in Paris and France offers great freedom, but imposes rigorous tax structuring from the start. The major dilemma lies in the choice of legal status: Micro-enterprise, Real Individual Company (BNC), or SASU or EURL type company.
For a consultant whose TJM (Average Daily Rate) is high, the micro-enterprise regime quickly reaches its limits (ceiling of €77,700). A switch to the real regime or the company allows you to deduct all professional expenses: computer equipment, rent (even partial when teleworking), travel expenses, meals with clients, and above all social protection (mutual insurance, welfare). Optimization between remuneration (salary for protection) and dividends (for net cash flow) is the main lever to maximize your disposable income.
Working with a digital accountant allows you to transform your administrative management into simple and automated performance management, thus freeing up your days for your client missions.

FAQ — Frequently asked questions from consultants about their accounting
Can I deduct my rent if I work from home? Yes, if you operate in a company (SASU/EURL), you can set up a sublet lease or a partial occupancy agreement to deduct a share of your rent and your charges (electricity, internet) from your profit.
Is freelance status in salary portage better than a SASU? Salary portage offers employee security but is expensive in terms of management fees and contributions. The SASU or EURL offers much better net profitability. We simulate the exact financial differential for you.
How can I optimize my mission costs? All costs incurred in the interest of the company are deductible: equipment, software subscriptions, training, prospecting. It is crucial to keep each supporting document (via digital photo) to prove the expense in the event of an audit.
Can I combine ARE (Pôle Emploi) and my company? Yes, it is a powerful creative lever. By choosing the SASU and not paying yourself a salary, you can maintain your full unemployment benefits while capitalizing in your company.
What minimum TJM to leave the micro-enterprise? In general, as soon as your gross income exceeds €60,000 - €70,000 per year, the micro-enterprise becomes less efficient than an IS company due to the impossibility of deducting its real costs and the weight of social security contributions on gross turnover.
