Dullaert & Partners

Dullaert & Partners is an accounting and tax advisory firm at number 25B Koningin Astridlaan in Sint-Niklaas, in the Waasland. It was founded by Nele Dullaert, whom the team describes as a spotter of links and opportunities, direct, honest and versatile. The firm presents itself as a team of passionate specialists rather than a mere numbers shop, and claims three qualities: sharp analysis, a targeted approach and clear explanations. It also says it does not always say yes to clients, and aims to help them grow quickly and sustainably.

The team brings together complementary profiles: an accountant with very broad knowledge, a tax shelter and tax specialist, an expert in financial analysis, reviews and valuations, staff in charge of continuity and follow-up, and juniors. The firm has carved out a place with creative entrepreneurs. Published cases include Detheatermaker, a production platform for young theatre makers, an influencer agency that grew out of DPG Media, and a home-care business. Clients stress that they are not treated as a number and that explanations remain accessible.

In accounting and tax, the firm optimises wherever it can and aims to solve problems before they arise, for the person behind the company number. For cultural organisations, it sets up cost accounting that shows income and expenses per project in one click, which simplifies grant reporting. It also draws up a tailored growth plan setting the pace at which the business wants and is able to grow, and supports wealth building, both for the business and for the entrepreneur personally.

Other areas complete the offer: start-up advice, valuations, which provide a value range for negotiating or deciding, and restructurings, where the firm explores figures, analyses and alternatives with the client to make the best choices. It shares its knowledge in information sessions, for example on the European pay transparency directive, and in articles on reimbursing charging costs for electric cars, directors' liability and investing.

The firm trains clients on its tools: a series of webinars shows how to set up the Octopus invoicing module, create an invoice and send reminders. It offers a client portal, online appointment booking and a monthly newsletter, the Dullaert Gazet. It highlights values of commitment, innovation and expertise, and recruits regularly to strengthen its team. The website is written in Dutch.
