The part that costs a day

The catch nobody writes down

Your invoice does not go to your customer; it goes to a platform, which routes it. That means delivery is asynchronous and can fail hours later, so the send button cannot honestly say "sent" the moment you press it.

Your numbering stays yours

We issue gap-free, sequential numbers that reset on your schedule and are never reused — including for voided documents, which keep theirs. The authority takes the document as numbered.

Tax is computed from the base

Never extracted from the gross. The two formulas differ by a cent and the wrong one gets the file rejected. The leftover cent is declared as payment rounding (BT-114), where the standard puts it.

Straight talk

What we do not do in France.

We do not hold your signing certificate, we do not file your periodic returns, and we are not your accountant.

Issuing here goes through A-Cube (Franța), with your own credentials. We build the document, validate it, send it and record what comes back.
