Our firm

Our firm

KeyPoint Subvention is the KeyPoint International division devoted to innovation funding. An accounting, audit and advisory firm founded in 2003, serving innovative companies in France.

Since 2003

Making French complexity legible

KeyPoint Subvention works with companies innovating in France across the whole range of public funding schemes: the research tax credit, the innovation tax credit, the IP Box, JEI status, CIFRE and Bpifrance grants.

Our job is to make a regulatory and tax environment legible, which it rarely is, and then to draw from it, for each client, everything it actually allows.

We are the innovation funding division of KeyPoint International, an accounting, audit and advisory firm founded in 2003. That is where our particularity comes from: we also keep our clients' accounts and handle their tax, so the technical qualification of the work and its expression in figures move forward together, on the same data.

That double reading brings together the technical rigour, the shared thinking and the cross-cultural understanding needed to see our clients' issues coming rather than absorb them.
