Fiduciaire 2000

Fiduciaire 2000 is an accounting firm on rue de Huy in Waremme, in the province of Liège. The company is accredited by the ITAA under number 50.376.039. Founded in 1981, it is a family business now in its third generation. It sits at the centre of a triangle formed by Liège, Namur and Sint-Truiden, and stresses personal follow-up of every client and every file, with each of its chartered accountants and tax specialists having their own area of expertise. The office is open Monday to Friday and has a private car park with charging points for electric vehicles.

The firm is organised into four units. The business formation unit handles the project from start to finish: scoping and planning the steps, assessing the activity and capital needs, helping draft the mandatory financial plan, comparing legal forms (private limited company, public limited company, non-profit), drafting the articles of association and signing before the notary, registration with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises and for VAT, publication in the Belgian Official Gazette, social security registration, then setting up the accounts and the operational launch. It also helps look for financing.

The accounting unit prepares annual accounts and balance sheets, with digital entry of purchases, sales and financial transactions. The firm works with Winbooks, Silverfin, ClearFacts and Popsy-Allegro. It aims to give clients a full view of their accounts: financial analysis, a comparison over the last ten years and the income statement. It follows the books throughout the year and can support a loan application. On tax, it handles returns, taxes and tax obligations, and prepares and supports clients throughout the procedure in the event of a tax reassessment.

The strategy unit, closely linked to accounting, draws up budgets, forecasts and growth strategies. More unusually for an accounting firm, a marketing unit offers marketing audits, market research, positioning, visual identity, an online communication strategy and follow-up of initial campaigns, especially when a business is launched. On legal matters, the firm works with law firms and notaries' offices.

The firm lists a long range of sectors: construction, real estate, hospitality, IT professionals, wholesalers, supermarkets, parent and subsidiary companies, car dealers and garages, aviation, pharmacies, doctors, allied health, agriculture, engineering, lawyers, architects, insurers, banks, video games and non-profits. It also serves private individuals.

Fiduciaire 2000 stresses transparent billing, always detailed by hours and description of the work done. It publishes a calendar of tax deadlines and a selection of useful links, and says it wants to look after every client as if they were family. The firm presents itself as an alternative to large companies for entrepreneurs looking for a team that can support them on several fronts, from organisation to administration.
