History & Mission

The FACC-NY is the only bi-national organization of its kind. Our mission is to develop business relationships between France and the United States and their respective business communities. With a diverse member base—from manufacturing to legal, accounting, startups, food & beverage, tech, HR, luxury fashion & beauty, and beyond—we create the connections and networks that help your business grow.

With offices in the heart of Herald Square on iconic Broadway, the NY chapter proudly counts over 1000 members. Each of our bilingual staff has lived, studied or worked in France and understands the intricacies of cross-cultural business development. We serve young professionals, entrepreneurs, top executives, and the French-American community at large through information sharing, prestigious events, and visa services.

The FACC Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, works to further relations between the two countries by awarding post-graduate business degree scholarships to French and American laureates.

The FACC provides the networks and opportunities, experiences and understanding that empower successful business relationships between members.
