BUREAU COMPTABLE PH MONIQUET

Bureau comptable Ph. Moniquet (BCPM) is a member of the ITAA based in Thorembais-Saint-Trond, in the municipality of Perwez. Philippe Moniquet set it up in 2004 by taking over the accounting activities of a cooperative supporting farmers, along with the four employees who worked there. That origin still shapes its profile: the firm now offers all the services of a standard fiduciary while keeping its agricultural speciality.

Agricultural services are what sets the firm apart. It calculates flat-rate agricultural income and prepares the related tax return. It completes land area declarations, handles CAP files and can fill in the class 3 environmental permit. It also advises farmers on sector-specific matters such as farm tenancy or gifts at 0%.

Clients are not limited to farms. The website mentions lawyers, doctors, garage owners, butchers and landscape contractors. For these businesses and liberal professions, the accounting assignment covers general or analytical bookkeeping from documents received preferably in electronic form, supervision and closing, support for outsourced bookkeeping, preparing and filing annual accounts, and a critical review of accounts, journals and statutory books.

On the tax side, the firm handles periodic VAT returns, the client listing and intra-community statements, withholding tax on income from movable property and on earned income, 281 forms and returns for individuals, companies and non-profit organisations. It checks tax assessment notices, assists clients during tax audits and provides technical and legal help in objection procedures. Tax advice completes this assignment.

The management side goes beyond the figures themselves: training accounting staff, help with recruiting administrative staff, assistance in drafting statutory reports, monitoring doubtful debts and issuing account statements for customers and suppliers. For those starting out, the firm draws up the financial plan, helps choose the legal form, assists with the draft articles of association and handles professional access, registration and affiliation formalities, including with the BCE.

The team has four active partners and seven staff, each with their preferred fields. The website publishes every team member's weekly attendance, so clients know which day to reach their contact. The office is open all day on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and on Wednesday and Friday mornings. The firm says it aims to go beyond routine support and to be present at every stage in the life of a business. A first appointment can be requested online.
