Boekhoudkantoor Lieve Hamers

Boekhoudkantoor Lieve Hamers is a family accounting and tax practice in Roeselare, West Flanders. It is registered with the ITAA under number 50.165.265. The practice sees clients at two addresses in town, Wulfkolstraat and Bornstraat, and has a third office on Hofstraat in Ghent. It is open all day from Monday to Thursday and on Friday until 3.30 pm, or by appointment. The website is available in Dutch and English.

Its history spans two generations. In 1981 Maxime Hamers started as a self-employed accountant, and at the end of 1982 he and his wife set up the company Hamers-Dochez. Their daughter Lieve Hamers joined in 2000 and took over her parents' business in 2016, founding the current company. The practice highlights this long experience across many sectors and presents itself as a trusted adviser to the business. It stresses the importance of discussing ideas and plans in advance, and of accurate, transparent administration that keeps a balance between the interests of the business and private interests.

For bookkeeping, the practice works for self-employed people and for small and large companies. Clients can hand over all their bookkeeping, or keep it in-house and outsource only the year-end closing. The practice prepares the annual accounts, produces interim reports and helps interpret the figures, so that accounting becomes a management tool and not just a legal obligation. Several clients quoted on the website say they meet Lieve Hamers a few times a year to review their figures and outlook.

For VAT, it prepares and files returns, intra-community listings and client listings, and advises on other formalities. In direct tax, it handles personal income tax via Tax-on-web and corporate income tax via Biztax, and advises on specific topics such as the investment deduction, employer's own expenses and tax reductions, with the aim of optimising each file. The website publishes regular updates: the VAT provision account replacing the current account from 1 May 2026, hybrid or electric cars, whether incorporating still pays since 2026, and filing annual accounts.

In company law, the practice outlines the possible company forms at formation, advises on the choice and helps when the business changes during its life cycle. It handles routine formalities: appointment or resignation of a director, distribution tests, the alarm bell procedure, minutes of meetings and UBO obligations.

The published testimonials come from directors of a construction company, a legal services firm and a childcare centre that values the help received in a sector with a specific chart of accounts and subsidies. A FAQ points to useful public tools, from the ITAA register to the VIES system and the withholding obligation check in construction.
