Your closing with confidence
Compliant, reliable and stress-free tax inventory
The tax inventory is an essential milestone in the accounting close. Carried out at the end of the financial year, it conditions the reliability of your financial data, the valuation of your assets and compliance with auditors or the CAC.
However, this operation mobilizes significant internal resources, often already solicited at this time of year. That’s why more and more retailers are choosing to outsource their tax inventory with Fairson.

I have an inventory of my stores made each time I leave and return from my holidays"
The work done by Fairson Inventory is quite correct, in a good quality/price ratio. All service providers are more or less equal in terms of technical service and the job is not easy with a strong "procedures" side. With Fairson Inventory, the human aspect becomes important."
For me, Fairson Inventory's strengths are the attention paid to the customer, their constantly evolving tools, their reliability... They do not rest on their laurels and are a source of proposals to always improve the inventory procedure. Twice a year, I entrust them with the inventory of my 20 stores in France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Italy and Spain."
With Fairson Inventory, I have a single point of contact. This closeness in the relationship promotes the quality of our exchanges, and consequently responsiveness. Their in-house IT department is also a plus, confirmed by my visit to their headquarters in Challans: they are really well structured!"
The inventory manager represents us at our own customers' premises, hence the importance of the quality of the relationship during the service. I would define them as "accompanists" in carrying out inventories, for quality services. Working with Fairson Inventory is a time saver for our sales representatives, in addition to having more reliable inventories because they are more objective."
Fairson is an inventor large enough to be able to work on several sites throughout France, but not too large enough to maintain direct exchanges; it sets them apart. I appreciate the reliability of their services, their availability and their flexibility."
Fairson Inventory is my only service provider to inventory the technical equipment present in my stores. Their availability throughout the metropolitan area and their professionalism make them a reliable company that I gladly recommend."
With Fairson Inventaire, the technical aspect of the procedure is there, but it is made more liveable than with others: we listen to each other, in a relationship that is more of a partnership. At Fairson, there is a real consideration of customer requirements as well as the social aspect of inventory, through the pooling of teams across several brands for example."
Availability of teams, traceability of information, flexibility and verbal commitment of trust: we work very well with Fairson Inventory, in good understanding. Fairson Inventory is truly customer-oriented: always attentive and proactive. Competence, know-how, technicality... It's interesting to work with them."
Fairson provides me with the quality of result I expected. In addition, my teams report to me that the inventories are running smoothly, within the framework of mixed procedures (twice a year): professionalism of the inventory managers, quality of the IT tool, feedback, etc."
Entrust your tax inventory to an expert
A well-conducted inventory is: a fair balance sheet, a serene control, more informed decisions.
