Accountancy

Working with an accountant offers numerous advantages. We can provide you with expert advice and guidance on finance, taxation and accounting. Part of this includes optimising your tax situation and ensuring compliance with rules and regulations, thereby reducing risks. In addition, we can also prepare accurate financial reports, which is essential for understanding a company's financial health. As your trusted advisers, we offer strategic business advice to identify growth opportunities and minimise financial risks. This allows you to focus on your core business, improving your company's operational efficiency and driving growth. In short, accountants provide valuable support that helps companies succeed and grow in a competitive business environment.

The collaboration process starts with an initial meeting and discussion of the client's needs. During this phase, we will discuss your specific financial situation and goals. An engagement letter will then be drafted setting out the scope of services, fees and other relevant terms and conditions. After the administrative part of preparing the engagement letter and the various anti-money laundering obligations, we will get to work on performing the agreed services. This may include bookkeeping, preparation of financial reports, tax advice and returns, and general financial advice. During this phase, regular communication will take place between you and our office to provide updates on progress and answer any questions. The collaboration process with an accounting firm is an ongoing cycle of communication. We continuously monitor your financial situation and will recommend adjustments if necessary. This may include, for example, optimising tax strategies, cost savings or investment advice. In addition, we are also ready to help with any financial challenges or changes in rules and regulations that may affect your business.

Our fees are always adjusted depending on the complexity of the service requested. In outline, we break down our services into the following categories: Accounting, Closing, Consulting and (Tax) Auditing. In addition, a determining factor in determining the applicable fee is the experience and expertise of the employee or partner involved.

We work entirely in a digital way. We ask our clients to submit all documents digitally as much as possible. This can always be done via personalised email addresses or a specifically assigned customer portal. Our software is adapted to a digital way of working. All documents are always accessible digitally, making it possible to deliver things quickly at the request of customers or the administration, for example. If, as a client, you are not yet fully up to date with current digital capabilities, we are available to fully set this up and make your administration ready for the future. A digital way of working is not only efficient and easy but also helps reduce our carbon footprint, which is an important factor for our office.

If our approach appeals to you and you would like to become a client of our firm, do not hesitate to contact us today. The further collaboration process is described above . If you are a client of another firm today and would like to make the switch, we can take this process completely off your hands. If required, we will contact your current firm and notify them, in accordance with the ITAA professional code of ethics, that we intend to follow up your file. We will manage the entire handover process once this step is completed.

We take various measures to protect the confidentiality of your data, especially in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). First of all, we have drafted and implemented a strict data protection policy that defines the procedures for collecting, storing and processing personal data. A key measure is restricting access to personal data; we achieve this by implementing strict authorisation systems and providing training to staff on data protection and privacy. Furthermore, technical security measures have been implemented, such as data encryption, firewall protection, and the use of secure networks and servers. This reduces the risk of unauthorised access to clients' data. We also have procedures for securely destroying data that is no longer needed. This ensures that they become inaccessible immediately upon becoming irrelevant to the service. We also implement safeguards to ensure that external parties with whom we share, such as Cloud service providers or software vendors, comply with GDPR regulations and maintain an equivalent level of data protection. All these measures help to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your data, which is essential for maintaining the trust and reputation of our firm.

The importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) to us as an accounting firm is twofold, encompassing both business and ethical considerations. First of all, ESG offers an opportunity to differentiate ourselves in a competitive market. By developing expertise in ESG and expanding our services to include ESG reporting, advice and assurance, we can develop into leading advisers to companies striving for sustainability and social responsibility. In addition, incorporating ESG practices into our services also has an ethical component. We have a responsibility to contribute to a more sustainable and just society. By assisting companies in enhancing their ESG performance, we actively contribute to fostering environmental responsibility, social justice, and sound governance practices within the corporate sphere.

We can play a crucial role in the tax optimisation of your company accounts by applying various strategies and techniques. First of all, we take care of preparing financial reports and filing your tax returns in accordance with applicable tax rules and regulations. In doing so, we ensure that all relevant tax regulations are complied with and that your company does not pay unnecessary taxes. We do this by making maximum use of tax deductions, tax optimisations or exemptions. We also monitor changes in tax rules and regulations and advise you on the potential impact of these changes on your financial situation. We support you in adapting your tax strategies and plans to respond to changing tax circumstances so that you do not pay unnecessary taxes.
