LegiPro
e-invoicing partner screening memo

Prepared by Danny Stocker, Lyon - 29 June 2026

LegiPro is a regulatory knowledge layer for existing accounting software. It helps partners add source-backed French accounting, tax and compliance intelligence without rebuilding the underlying regulatory foundation.

Partners keep their product, user experience, login, billing and customer relationship. LegiPro supplies the regulatory intelligence layer behind it.

What LegiPro is

It is designed to support accounting, VAT, social, company-law and electronic invoicing workflows while integrating behind existing products rather than replacing them.

The core asset behind LegiPro is the transformation of thousands of pages of French accounting and regulatory material from 14 major reference corpora into a structured knowledge layer that software can reliably query, explain and cite.

The durable value is not the AI model alone. AI models change quickly; curated, source-linked regulatory knowledge is the asset that takes time to build.

Why e-invoicing first

The first proof is focused on electronic invoicing, VAT and accounting-treatment review because the official French rollout begins on 1 September 2026. From that date, all companies must be able to receive electronic invoices, and large companies and ETIs must also issue them electronically. SMEs and micro-companies follow for issuing on 1 September 2027.

Why this matters to a software partner

LegiPro can complement a partner's existing software and AI by selecting the most appropriate source of evidence for each request: structured regulatory knowledge, a specialised workflow, or AI support for more complex analysis. This is intended to improve consistency, traceability and operational cost control.

The same knowledge layer can support multiple product paths without rebuilding the underlying corpus:

Recommended first route

  • Accounting, VAT or e-invoicing product owner;
  • ISV or technology partnerships contact;
  • API or platform owner;
  • AI product owner for accounting-assistant use cases.

Purpose of this note

It is not an executive sponsorship request. It is a product/partner screening request around one narrow workflow that can be reviewed without partner credentials.

First proof
boundaries and ask

Credential-free e-invoicing / VAT / accounting-treatment review

First proof proposed

The proposed first proof is intentionally narrow and credential-free. It uses public information and test data only, so a partner can review the workflow without granting live sandbox credentials on day one.

Partner workflow
LegiPro review layer
Cited packet returned
  1. A partner-style accounting or e-invoicing screen sends invoice context, a VAT question, period and business facts to LegiPro.
  2. LegiPro prepares a source-backed review packet from the relevant corpora.
  3. The partner receives an output it can store, route or review inside its own product.

Expected output

  • answerability status;
  • cited official sources and source references;
  • applicability notes and period/date limits;
  • missing facts and caution points;
  • draft review packet or dossier/export reference;
  • audit reference showing which evidence was used.

Reusable proof assets

  • no-credential e-invoicing/VAT proof fixture;
  • shared adapter fixture harness;
  • first-wave dry-run stubs for Cegid Loop/Expert, Sage Accounting/Active, Pennylane, Odoo, Abby and Inqom.

Current status and boundaries

These assets are not live third-party integrations. They show the handoff shape a partner product could evaluate before deciding whether to provide sandbox/API access.

Suggested next step

A 30-minute product/partner screening to decide whether a credential-free e-invoicing and VAT proof would be useful, which team should assess it, what sandbox/API access path would be appropriate later, and what security, source-rights or liability questions should be answered before any senior escalation.
