Supporting businesses in meeting today’s challenges

The second is a service offering focused on business transfers and acquisition due diligence,” adds Luc Petiteau.
Luc Petiteau

Luc Petiteau is a chartered accountant specializing in HR consulting, employment law, and payroll. He has been a partner at RSM France since 2009. Luc developed the group's HR and payroll division in response to high client demand within RSM.
After an initial career in the banking sector, he quickly pivoted to accounting and joined the finance department of a fast-growing company, gaining valuable insight into the added value of the profession. This experience led him to specialize in human resources and payroll—fields with a strong human dimension.
In parallel, he has built solid experience across various sectors, including business management, taxation, entrepreneurship, new technologies, and start-ups. His goal is to help businesses manage payroll securely and identify the tools that will truly add value—streamlining their administrative operations.
