Fiduciaire Taulet

Fiduciaire Taulet is an accounting and tax firm on avenue Wilson in Jemappes, part of the municipality of Mons. The company was set up on 1 July 1982 by Jacques Taulet, a chartered accountant approved by the former IEC, who had already been practising for more than ten years. The firm is listed among the external members of the ITAA under number 50.207.095. It now claims more than forty years of accounting experience, and the Taulet family still runs it: Stéphane, Thierry and Laurent Taulet work there as chartered accountants registered with the ITAA.

The team has grown over the years to around ten people. It brings together chartered accountants, tax advisers, accounting graduates and secretarial staff. The website also mentions graduates in economic engineering. Stéphane Taulet also holds the Tax-Master title. Each person puts their specialism at the service of the whole team, and the firm presents itself as a single point of contact for all of a client's accounting and tax formalities. Staff follow continuing education to keep up with constant changes in accounting and tax rules.

The firm's first assignment is bookkeeping, carried out in its own offices or at the client's premises through a remote connection, up to the preparation of the annual accounts. On top of that come VAT returns, tax returns, tax calculations and advice on tax optimisation. The articles published on the website show the kind of topics the firm follows for its clients: the reduced VAT rate for renovation work, coronavirus support measures, the abolition of quarterly VAT advance payments, and the higher threshold for the small business VAT exemption.

Fiduciaire Taulet also supports business start-ups. When a company is formed, the firm helps prepare the business plan, the financial plan required by the Belgian Companies and Associations Code, and the draft deed. Once the business is running, it carries out financial analyses, monitors the cash position, gives management advice and helps clients obtain financing and grants. This combination of accounting, tax and financial follow-up is the core of the offer the firm presents.

The client base is described as diverse and varied. It consists mainly of self-employed people, SMEs, liberal professions and associations, but also large companies and private individuals. These clients come from all over Wallonia and Brussels, well beyond the Mons area. The firm stresses that its experience covers very different fields, and it puts this versatility forward to serve entrepreneurs whose needs and size differ widely.

The way the firm works rests on a dedicated main contact person for each file. The firm sees this as the basis of a relationship of trust and a detailed knowledge of the client's situation, which lets it stay available and responsive to requests while drawing on the skills of the whole team when a file calls for it. It emphasises the human side of the ties built with its clients over the years, and mentions the efficiency of its accounting and tax software without naming it.

The website offers a few practical tools, including a page of useful figures and a list of fuel prices. The office is open all day from Monday to Thursday and on Friday until mid-afternoon, and it is closed at weekends and on public holidays.
