Accountantskantoor DE KEZEL, VAN den BROUCKE

Accountantskantoor De Kezel, Van den Broucke, or simply DKVDB to its friends, is a full-service accounting firm at number 135 Admiraalstraat in Destelbergen, on the edge of Ghent. For some thirty years it has helped entrepreneurs, from start-ups to well-established companies, who want their accounting and tax affairs properly handled. The team is deliberately compact: four certified tax accountants and two file managers. The firm sees that size as the condition for working personally and flexibly, with clear communication, short lines and advice that is genuinely useful.

The firm promises personal contact, quick answers and a team that thinks along with the client. It says it follows legislation and tax optimisation closely, so that entrepreneurs do not have to. Clients can view their accounts anytime, anywhere on a digital platform, and figures are presented visually and explained in plain language. The firm works with Silverfin for internal balance sheets and annual accounts, and recommends Billit to its clients for e-invoicing. It puts the client at the centre and takes time to understand what each client really needs to reach their financial goals, with the stated mission of supporting the business through personal service, innovative solutions and useful advice.

For start-ups, DKVDB supports new businesses and liberal professions, draws up the financial plan and sets up companies and sole proprietorships. In accounting, it handles complete bookkeeping or reviews books kept by the company itself. It prepares balance sheets, annual accounts, tax returns and year-end closing, as well as interim figures. Each file is followed from the first invoice to the last annual accounts.

The consultancy side includes preparing forecasts, valuing businesses and tailored financial and legal advice on investments or property purchases. The firm also supports acquisitions, partial or full demergers, mergers and liquidations. On tax, it handles obligations relating to VAT, personal income tax and corporate income tax, advises on tax optimisation and estate planning, and assists and defends clients during tax audits.

The firm regularly publishes news: the new mileage allowance, the increased daily allowance for business travel in Belgium, new rates for travel abroad, mandatory e-invoicing through Peppol from 2026 and the VAT chain reform. It is recruiting a file manager or accountant, full-time or part-time, employed or self-employed, and describes a family-style, flexible workplace. The website is written in Dutch.
