Paris, January 15, 2026 – Archipel, a platform of accounting and advisory firms, announces the integration of two new firms, AVEI’A and Groupe Conseils, bringing the total number of firms within the group to six.
At the same time, Archipel is significantly strengthening its investment capacity through the establishment of a €65 million financing facility with the French investment fund Eurazeo, complementing the €50 million of equity already raised.
A project built on firm independence, supported by capital integration and a shared operational backbone
The Archipel project is based on a simple conviction: the long-term performance of accounting firms relies on team autonomy, local entrepreneurial responsibility, and close client relationships.
Accordingly, Archipel implements a clear capital integration model by acquiring 100% of the firms it integrates, while granting management teams broad operational autonomy in running their businesses.
Value creation is driven by two key structural levers:
- the pooling of resources (tools, methodologies, support functions, and cross-functional expertise),
- and the progressive development of a shared data backbone, enabling the centralisation, reliability, and effective use of key data related to production, quality, financial performance management, and business development.
This approach aims to continuously improve client service, enhance operational performance across firms, and strengthen coordination within the group—without calling into question the operational independence of the firms within the network.
Two integrations strengthening territorial presence and the collective’s quality
AVEI’A is a structured accounting firm organised as a regional, multi-site network, comprising six offices located in the Grand Est region and Luxembourg (Essey-lès-Nancy, Gérardmer, Lunéville, Nancy, Thionville, and Luxembourg).
The firm employs 110 professionals, serves approximately 3,500 clients, and is led by six partners: Lionel Gasik, Marine Eteve, Aline Guerlot, Laura Gerard, Gaetan Cuny and Julien Gentile.
AVEI’A stands out for its proven organisation, combining local proximity, a multi-site structure, and strong execution capabilities across an extended territory.
Lionel Gasik, Partner at AVEI’A, commented:
“AVEI’A has been built over the years by committed men and women who share strong values of proximity, trust, and professional excellence. Archipel’s arrival is fully aligned with this continuity: it brings additional resources and a structuring vision, while respecting the human DNA that makes the firm strong—for both our teams and our clients.”
Groupe Conseils is a Paris-region accounting firm with more than 20 years of experience, operating through several offices in Paris, Boulogne, and Saint-Maur-des-Fossés. Led by partner-certified accountants, the firm employs 37 professionals and has five partners: Michael Kharoubi, David Soussan, Alexandra Kharoubi, Marina Nicolai, and Kelly Gilberg.
Groupe Conseils serves a loyal client base of SMEs, very small businesses, and liberal professions. It offers an integrated, high value-added service combining accounting, payroll and social advisory, legal structuring, and strategic advisory services. The firm also supports clients on complex, high-value assignments such as financial and non-financial reporting, strategic and operational advisory, due diligence, and group structuring and consolidation. In addition, Groupe Conseils has developed an insurance brokerage activity, further strengthening its comprehensive approach to supporting business leaders.
Michael Kharoubi, Partner at Groupe Conseils, added:
“Archipel enables us to scale without losing our DNA. For our clients, it means broader expertise, a wider range of services, and enhanced support at every stage of their challenges. For our teams, it opens up new opportunities, shared tools, and an ambitious collective project.”
A trajectory ahead of the initial plan
While Archipel initially aimed to reach €30 million in revenue by 2025, the group has now reached a new milestone with six firms generating more than €35 million in revenue.
This advance on the original plan reflects the quality of the firms integrated, the execution capabilities of the teams, and the attractiveness of the Archipel project to entrepreneurial firms.
The group intends to continue this momentum in the first half of 2026: several new firms will be integrated by the end of H1 2026, while additional projects are currently at an advanced discussion stage.
An operational model that is delivering results
Archipel’s operational model has now demonstrated its relevance at group level.
The historical firms—Groupe Rey, P2R, Finantis and Lamy Expert—are progressively benefiting from the structuring of support functions, the sharing of best practices, and the deployment of common tools, while retaining full operational autonomy.
By way of illustration, Groupe Rey, the first firm integrated in April 2025 and now the most established within the group, has experienced double-digit annual growth since its integration, clearly demonstrating the impact of the model and the rollout of enhanced performance management tools.
This momentum is also reflected in governance developments: several new partners have joined—or will join—the share capital of Archipel within the various firms, alongside the historical partners, illustrating a dynamic partnership model built on team engagement and a long-term vision.
Matthieu Luneau and Maxime Ridel, co-founders of Archipel, stated:
“The Archipel project is built on a clear balance: preserving the entrepreneurial autonomy of firms while building powerful industrial levers at group level, particularly around data. The lead we have taken over our initial plan confirms the robustness of this model, based on full capital integration, strong execution discipline, and highly operational, sustainable value creation.”
A significant strengthening of financing capacity with Eurazeo
In parallel, Archipel announces the establishment of a €65 million committed bond financing facility raised with Eurazeo, complemented by a significant additional facility that may be activated at a later stage depending on opportunities.
This debt financing adds to the €50 million of equity raised from Alpera Partners, bringing the group’s total financing capacity to €115 million to date, in order to support the acceleration of its consolidation strategy.
Maxime de Roquette Buisson, Eurazeo, commented:
“Archipel combines a clear market vision, a strong execution team, and a credible industrial project, particularly around data structuring. It is exceptionally well positioned to become a leading platform.”
Basile Paul-Petit, Alpera Partners, added:
“The structuring financing secured with Eurazeo and the integration of two leading firms mark a step change for Archipel. The management team continues to demonstrate excellent execution capabilities by integrating high-quality firms and building differentiated industrial levers from day one. Archipel now has all the ingredients to become a reference platform in accounting services in the years ahead.”
