Archipel, the accounting group that raised €50 million in equity from Alpera Partners in 2025, announces the integration of two leading firms, P2R and Finantis, joining Rey as part of Archipel’s first acquisitions.
With these three firms on board, Archipel reaches an important milestone in its consolidation strategy and confirms its ambition to become an independent leader in the French accounting profession.
This move highlights the attractiveness of Archipel’s model, accelerates its consolidation strategy in a transforming market, and positions the group as a trusted partner for firm leaders and their teams.
Complementary and distinctive expertise
P2R, a multidisciplinary firm based in Paris and Lyon (4 partners, 50 staff), is a well-regarded player in accounting services. While a generalist, it has become one of the first firms to specialize in the real estate franchise sector.
Finantis, headquartered in Paris (4 partners, 30 staff), is an audit and accounting firm known for its strong expertise in statutory audits. It holds major audit mandates with large groups in finance, automotive, and IT.
The partners and teams of P2R and Finantis share Archipel’s DNA and vision of independence, collaboration, and growth, contributing to the creation of a new reference point in the accounting profession.
Group resources serving member firms
To accelerate the transformation and growth of its member firms, Archipel has launched a shared platform providing strategic and operational resources. Staffed by a team of 8 experts across HR, finance, operations, technology, and business development, this platform already delivers concrete support and immediate performance levers to its firms.
An accelerated growth path
Archipel is also pursuing further external growth. The group has entered exclusive negotiations with several other firms over the summer and is seeing strong interest from accounting professionals across France in its decentralized model.
These upcoming integrations will allow Archipel to exceed its €30 million revenue target by the end of 2025, further consolidating its position as an independent leader in the French accounting market.
A strong growth model for the profession
In a €20 billion market marked by fragmentation and technological and generational shifts, Archipel offers a distinctive model that combines local autonomy with national synergies.
The group provides its partner firms with:
- Advanced technological and operational resources to anticipate digitalization and AI adoption,
- An attractive framework to recruit and retain scarce talent,
- Greater investment capacity to enrich their value-added services for business leaders.
Matthieu Luneau, Co-Founder of Archipel, said:
“With this integration, Archipel reaches a major milestone in its development. By bringing together ambitious firms with differentiated expertise, we demonstrate the strength of our project: building a unifying platform that helps the profession adapt to change, attract top talent, and achieve sustainable growth while preserving independence.”
Jean-Baptiste Palies, Partner at P2R, added:
“Joining Archipel gives us the opportunity to bring our vision of a modern firm to life, combining local expertise with collective strength. We have found a partner who shares our values of independence and innovation, while providing the resources to accelerate our growth and broaden our client offering. This is an exciting new chapter for P2R, both professionally and personally.”
Yves Ach, Partner at Finantis, commented:
“Being part of Archipel’s platform is a unique collective opportunity. This project embodies an ambition to combine our strengths and build an independent leader in the profession, while maintaining the agility and collaborative spirit that define us. With Archipel, we are confident we are helping to redefine our profession, to better serve our clients and our teams.”
Emmanuel Dray, Partner at Rey, added:
“Archipel immediately brought us concrete solutions to our challenges: support in recruiting experienced staff, digitalizing the firm, developing new services… there is real strength in unity. The Archipel team is highly proactive and collaborative, it’s a real pleasure to work together. We are delighted to welcome our colleagues from P2R and Finantis and are confident many more will follow.”
