Why import your FEC

The FEC (Fichier des Écritures Comptables) is the standardised export every French company can produce. It is the most complete, tool-agnostic view of what actually happened: every journal entry, every account, the whole year.

The problem is it is a raw ledger, not a model. Turning it into a P&L you can plan on usually means hours of pivot tables. Layerz does the mapping once and lands it as a clean actuals layer you reuse every period.

What you get

A clean P&L and balance sheet built from statutory entries, not a manual pivot.
Actuals vs budget on the same structure, every account routed to the right line.
Reforecast on real numbers. Adjust forward assumptions, keep the history intact.
Audit-ready Excel. Export a defensible workbook any time. Never paywalled.

Because the FEC is a standard, this works whatever you keep your books in: Pennylane, Sage, Cegid, EBP, and the rest.

Honest limits

The FEC is a snapshot you export. It is a file import, not a live sync (unlike the Pennylane or Qonto connectors).
Analytical / cost-centre detail depends on how your accountant coded the entries. Layerz maps what is in the file.
Mapping is set up once; new or unusual account codes may need a quick manual assignment.

How to import a FEC

Export your FEC

Export your FEC from your accounting software (the standard .txt or .csv statutory format).

Import the file

In the Layerz web app, open your model and import the file. Or hand it to Claude via the MCP plugin.

Auto-detect columns

Layerz detects the columns (date, account, label, amount) and the period grain automatically.

Map the chart of accounts

Map the French chart-of-accounts codes to your model items using the built-in French mapping template as a starting point.

Land the actuals branch

Land it as an actuals branch. Your full-year figures now sit next to your plan on one structure.
