Belfisco

Belfisco is an accounting firm founded in 1993, whose Liège office is on quai des Vennes in Angleur, in a building reached from the Belle-Île side. The company has four partners and seven employees across three sites: Angleur, Montzen in the municipality of Plombières, and Luxembourg. All partners are accredited in accounting with the professional institute of accountants and tax advisers, and one of them also holds a law degree.

The team is made up of tax accountants and experienced bookkeepers and describes itself as multigenerational. It offers current techniques such as digitisation, scanning and cloud use, while remaining attentive to clients who prefer their usual ways and do not wish to invest in new technology. An online tool lets clients send documents to the office. Each business gets a tailored service: Belfisco can take over the full management of the file or support the client's in-house accounting team.

The client base is varied and the website describes it in detail. The office provides accounting and tax supervision for large companies that file a full format with the National Bank and have appointed a statutory auditor. It serves liberal professions operating through a company: specialists and general practitioners, lawyers, architects, dentists and engineers. It also works for medium-sized commercial SMEs, such as insurance brokers, contractors, hauliers, petrol stations, IT or web management companies, guest houses, estate agents or a chocolate maker, as well as for property holding companies, financial, real estate and management companies.

Services include assistance with business creation, organising, keeping and supervising the books, tax advice from legal obligations to special studies, and management advice, notably for obtaining bank loans and drawing up budgets. The office also supports acquisitions and transfers of businesses in their legal aspects, and the dissolution of companies with the required special reports. It optimises the tax position of the business and of the director from an overall perspective.

In Belgium, Belfisco drafts personal income tax, corporate income tax, legal entities tax and non-resident tax returns, and prepares 274 forms for payroll withholding tax. In Luxembourg, it drafts personal income tax, corporate tax, wealth tax and income tax returns, and handles Luxembourg legal publications. It follows the company from incorporation to closure, including restructuring, transfer or merger.

The website publishes practical information on accounting and tax, for example on the e-Box Enterprise, through which the Central Balance Sheet Office now sends notice that the annual accounts have been filed, on extended filing deadlines or on the Reprobel levy.
