Dougs
The online accountancy firm that combines real human support and accounting automation for business owners
Overview
Dougs is an accounting firm registered with the French Institute of Chartered Accountants, founded in Lyon in 2015 and serving over 49,000 clients in 2026. Unlike simple accounting software, Dougs provides a dedicated accountant, certified annual accounts and regulated tax filings, a fundamental legal difference.
The platform automates bank categorization and accounting reconciliations using AI, then a human accountant validates and finalizes. Plans start at €49/month (sole trader/unincorporated) and €79/month (limited company), with one month free trial with no commitment. Google rating (4.6/5 over 3,000 reviews) reflects genuinely available customer service, rare in the sector.
Our verdict
The best compromise between traditional accountant and SaaS software for an SME that wants to delegate without paying €200/month to a traditional firm. Ideal for limited companies and business structures. Avoid if you are a sole trader with very simple needs: Indy or other platforms are sufficient at lower cost.
