Financial management in SMEs is undergoing a major transformation with the increasing digitalization of processes.


Faced with regulatory obligations such as mandatory electronic invoicing from 2026, French companies must adopt efficient digital tools to remain competitive.


This evolution is not limited to compliance. It also aims to optimize cash flow, automate administrative tasks and improve collaboration between finance teams and accountants.


Things to remember about electronic invoicing


Reform timetable in France


  • September 1, 2026 : All French businesses must be able to receive electronic invoices.


  • September 1, 2026 : obligation to issue electronic invoices for large companies and mid-sized companies.


  • September 1, 2027 : obligation to issue electronic invoices for French SMEs and solo-entrepeneurs.


Registration in a national PDP (Partner Dematerialization Platform) directory has been possible in France since March 2025.


Advantages of electronic invoicing


  • Cost reduction: 50-75% savings compared to paper processing.


  • Productivity gain: reduction in processing time of approximately 30%.


  • Reduced payment times: real-time monitoring of invoice status.


  • Enhanced security: authenticity and integrity of invoices guaranteed.


  • Simplification of reporting obligations: pre-filling of VAT returns.



Disadvantages to anticipate
