ACD acquired by TEAMSYSTEM

FRANCE Software / ERP, HR & Finance REV 25M - 50M EUR

Context

TeamSystem, a leading digital platform backed by Hellman & Friedman, Silver Lake, and CapitalG, has successfully finalized the acquisition of ACD in France. This strategic move represents the fourth transaction of the group in 2026, marking a significant acceleration of its international expansion strategy. The acquisition of the French target allows the group to capitalize on the progressive implementation of mandatory electronic invoicing in France, a regulatory shift mirroring the Italian transition that fueled the group's domestic growth. The strategic rationale centers on exporting the group's consolidated SaaS model to high-density professional markets where administrative and fiscal processes are undergoing deep structural transformations. By combining the target's localized expertise in payroll and accounting production with the group’s proprietary technological scale and AI capabilities, the partnership aims to consolidate the organization’s role as a European champion for SME digitalization.

By taking control of Acd, Teamsystem continues its expansion strategy. Previously, the group had completed 2 acquisitions, including Sellsy in 2025.

ACD, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the TMT (Tech, Media, Telecom) sector (14.4x).
