Q-bus is an accounting firm set up as a cooperative company, located on the third floor of Grotesteenweg 110 in Berchem. It has a second office in Ghent, on Blekersdijk. The firm is registered with the ITAA under number 50.168.396. It describes itself as an outsider among accounting firms, both in its internal structure and in its choice of clients.
Q-bus is self-managed. The organisation is kept as flat as possible, many decisions are taken in consultation with all colleagues, and the firm aims for the involvement and equality of every member of staff. Team members describe on the website a model based on mutual trust, collegial decision-making and shared responsibility, and the wish to build a long-term relationship with each client. For one of the people working there, cooperative enterprise builds a philosophy that is more sustainable and fairer than the classic business model, and shared decision-making gives more strength to reach goals set together.
The clients it seeks are those engaged in sustainable business: companies, self-employed people and organisations that do not work for profit alone, but with respect for people, society and the environment. The firm sums up this approach as « people, planet, prosperity ». It names education, art and culture, people- and environment-friendly initiatives, the fight against poverty and equal opportunities as areas it considers important and in which its clients are active.
VAT, legal status, administration and bookkeeping concern every company, every non-profit and every self-employed activity, large or small. Q-bus offers to keep the books, including VAT accounting, or to support clients who keep them themselves, depending on the actual request. This tailored approach lets a small association as well as an established company find the level of involvement that suits it.
The firm also informs and supports clients in their financial management. It gives legal advice on administrative obligations and applicable legislation, and helps with starting an activity, whatever form it takes. It handles tax returns, assists during tax audits and prepares subsidy applications, which is useful for organisations in the voluntary and cultural sectors.
A testimonial from a staff member describes attending an auditor's review alongside a client, which shows that support extends to the work of external auditors. The Berchem office is open Monday to Thursday from 9 am to 5 pm and on Friday from 9 am to 3 pm, with appointments also possible. The firm states that it makes no distinction based on gender, origin, age, orientation or religious belief.
