ACCO MECHELEN

Acco Mechelen is the Mechelen office of Acco Group, at number 455 Battelsesteenweg. The group was founded in 1983 and has three offices: Antwerp, on Prins Boudewijnlaan, Mechelen and the Kempen, in Herentals. It brings together more than thirty staff, whom it calls its Accompagnons, and a client base of more than 700. Acco has made a clear choice: it works only with companies, seeking long-term relationships with them. It presents itself as a firm that combines accountancy, technology and advice, so that financial processes are right and the figures finally start working for the business.

The core of the offer remains accountancy and tax, from the first invoice to the annual accounts. The firm also answers its clients' tax questions. But it wants to go beyond traditional bookkeeping and build a financial system that grows with the company: it connects the client's systems, optimises processes, makes the figures readable and advises where the real difference is made. The team includes a back office, a tax pool, a notarial pool and an IT solutions team, allowing it to handle accounting, tax and tooling under one roof.

Digitalisation is central to the approach. Acco is an Odoo Gold Partner, which allows it to deploy and customise advanced Odoo solutions for its clients. It also uses its own platform, Navigo, to streamline workflows. When a need goes beyond standard tools, its IT team builds custom solutions. The firm talks about innovation, finance automation and digitalising the client's office, with the aim of freeing directors from repetitive tasks so they can focus on growing their business.

The firm sums up its culture in three values. First, doing business together: it stands alongside entrepreneurs who want to grow, as a reliable partner in accounting, tax and digitalisation. Second, "we care": commitment to clients and respect between colleagues. Third, being forward-looking, using the latest technologies. It bases collaboration on mutual trust, transparent communication and shared growth, and regularly recruits trainees and staff.

Acco's blog shows the topics it follows for its company clients: the new phase of the VAT chain from 1 May 2026, with the provision account, payments and fines, the timing of the liquidation reserve in light of the new capital gains tax, the Court of Justice's Arcomet ruling on VAT on transfer pricing adjustments within groups, the liability of contractors using subcontractors with foreign workers, and the mobility budget becoming mandatory from 2026 for employers offering company cars.
