Dixon Wilson provides a unique service for English speaking investors wishing to take advantage of the many opportunities in France. We also help those wishing to live in France, who prefer to take advice from English speaking professionals. Our French resident partners are all bi-lingual and are qualified under both French and British professional rules. 

We offer advice on all aspects of UK and French taxation, succession planning and international estate planning.

Qualifications and Expertise

Our partners in Paris are qualified both as British Chartered Accountants and French Experts Comptables (accountants) and Commissaires aux Comptes (auditors). Our French accounting company, Dixon Wilson SARL, is registered with the French authorities to carry out both audit and accountancy assignments. 

Our partners and staff in Paris have been trained in a British professional environment.  They advise on both UK and French accounting, audit and tax matters. This enables us to talk to our British clients with a full understanding of the UK tax and regulatory environment from which they are approaching their affairs in France.

We advise on UK and French taxes and prepare tax returns for both countries. We can prepare accounts in English and French and carry out audits to French and UK requirements.
