About Us
Barclais CPA is an independent Certified Public Accounting firm founded in 2006 by Sidney Barclais. The firm is focused on the Middle-Market and is based in Miami.
Our firm offers audit, accounting, tax and transactions services for American subsidiaries of European Groups. In addition to traditional audit, accounting and tax services, Barclais CPA has developed a specific expertise in advisory services for European investors who are considering an acquisition of a US target, through stock or asset deals. Our extensive experience in both the United States and France makes our services particularly suitable for French investors.
Our comprehensive service offerings allows us to assist our clients at every stage of their development in the United States.
Our Services
Our trans-Atlantic experience has given us a thorough understanding of the reporting requirements imposed on foreign subsidiaries by the consolidation departments and Group auditors in Europe, and we offer many services capable of meeting these demands.
We operate in a 100% paperless environment at our 2 offices in New York and Miami and are therefore able to assist our clients throughout the United States.
