Breaking the €500K glass ceiling: how does Blendy help SMEs achieve sustainable growth?

Reaching €500,000 in revenue is a significant milestone for an SME. So, congratulations if you've already reached this milestone.
Unfortunately, beyond this threshold, many companies hit a glass ceiling: stagnant growth, eroding margins, increased complexity.
This well-documented phenomenon is often linked to internal processes that are not adapted to scaling up, to insufficiently structured governance or to a poorly defined growth strategy.
According to a study by Bpifrance, more than 60% of French SMEs report having difficulty structuring their growth beyond this milestone, due to a lack of suitable tools or a clear strategic vision.

At Blendy, English-speaking French CPA for tech, eCommerce, SaaS and IT service companies, we know that every business is unique.

Our approach is based on three pillars:
Financial structuring: implementation of dashboards, monitoring of key indicators, optimization of cash flow.
Digitalization of processes: integration of tools like Pennylane for smooth, real-time accounting management.
