FIDUCIAIRE VDH

Fiduciaire VDH is an accounting, tax and advisory practice set up as a private limited company on Sparrenhofstraat in Sint-Niklaas, in the Waasland region. It is an approved member of the ITAA under number 50.414.839, which it presents as a guarantee of expert advice, continuing education, professional secrecy and independence. The practice is run by Michèle Van Der Heyden, director and tax accountant, whom several clients describe as their accountant for fourteen years, twenty-five years or even since the last millennium.

Fiduciaire VDH calls itself a "boutique accountant". It deliberately works with a small team, file managers who know their clients and an administrative assistant, and serves only a limited number of businesses to keep time for each. In an increasingly digital world, with Peppol, AI and automation, the practice says it wants to offer more than a service behind a screen: personal contact stays central, and the whole team is trained on legislative changes. Meetings take place at the office or via Teams.

Its clients are self-employed people, liberal professions, SMEs and companies, and the practice cites expertise in construction, hospitality, the medical sector and management companies. Published testimonials come from a self-employed coach, a business in Moerzeke, a restaurant and the director of a mid-sized SME who values having a sounding board and tailored advice.

In bookkeeping, the practice takes over the full organisation and follow-up of the books: processing invoices, bank transactions and administrative documents in line with accounting and tax rules, with a clear view of the figures and of outstanding customers and suppliers. Bookkeeping is digital: clients upload documents through online portals whenever they like and have up-to-date figures at any time; the website shows the Exact accounting software among the tools used. At year-end, the practice prepares the accounts, discusses them with the client with an eye on the future and, once approved, files the annual accounts.

In tax, it handles personal income tax, corporate income tax and VAT returns, regularly analyses the figures to optimise the tax burden and builds a tax plan suited to the client's personal and business situation. It also provides support during tax audits, preparation of publication documents and contracts, and help with administrative formalities.

For start-ups and business buyers, the practice covers choice of legal form, start-up formalities, the financial plan, VAT, taxes and social contributions, business expenses, remuneration, risks and obligations, and structure and growth. It relies on a network of experts for business questions outside its field.
