Exco Finance & Transactions Occitanie is a consulting firm specializing in the sale and acquisition of SMEs, supporting owner-managers in mainly full transfers, as well as majority sales, MBOs, or family business transfers. EFTO offers the level of structuring and rigor of major investment banks, with the decisive advantage of local proximity and a deep understanding of the human challenges specific to privately held companies. Affiliated with the EXCO Fiduciaire du Sud-Ouest group, the firm relies on a national network of 140 offices and 250 chartered accountants and statutory auditors, complemented by international reach through Kreston International.

Arnaud Chénier, President of Exco Finance & Transactions Occitanie and partner at EXCO Fiduciaire du Sud-Ouest, holds a Master’s in International Corporate Finance and has been supporting SME leaders in private M&A transactions for over 20 years, particularly in industry, services, and family businesses, for deals ranging from €1 to €15 million. Recognized for his dynamism, reliability, and ability to simplify complex situations, he works upstream of transactions to prepare companies for sale, reduce dependency on the owner, and secure the entire process, guided by a strong conviction:
“A successful sale is not a matter of urgency or opportunity, but of respect, method, and trust.”
