Created in 2011, Beyond Financials is a financial service provider and software developper incorporated in France. It operates under the trademarks 'Beyond Financials' (for economic footprint calculation and related services) and '2° Investing Ventures' (financing of the energy transition).
The company operates with a small team (2-5 people) and sub-contractors. The partners include Stan Dupre (founder), Cedric Leforestier (managing director and consultant in economic footprint and sustainability), Alexandre Gazuit (software developer) and Hervé Gbego (chartered accountant).
The company has incubated 2° Investing Initiative and has provided research services to the association. The other main activities include the development of an investment portfolio carbon footprinting solution (2012-2014), the provision of sustainability-related consulting services, and local economic footprint assessment services for clients in the commercial real estate sector primarily (from 2012).
Beyond Financials has developed a proprietary methodology and software to calculate direct, indirect and induced job creation and economic impact 'bottom up', based on a field analysis (accounts, questionnaires, interviews, local statistics, etc.)
The analysis of a few sites operated by a company (e.g. shopping malls, hotels) lead to the creation of 'local jobs factors' and 'tax factors' at a very granular level (e.g. the bakery in the shopping mall) that can then be extrapolated to similar sites based on their characteristics. This approach enables forward-looking analysis on projects and investments.
Beyond Financials has developed a proprietary methodology and software. The software is calibrated based on the analysis of a few sites. The client can then model the economic impact of any existing site or new project.
Clients include real estate developers, financial institutions and public authorities.
