FIGESTCO NORD

Figestco Nord is a chartered accounting and tax firm in the Crealys science park, rue Jean Sonet, in Les Isnes, part of Gembloux. The company is accredited by the ITAA under number 50.422.721. It is run by three directors and partners, François Allard, Catherine Marchal and Bruno Wilmart, all certified chartered accountants and tax advisers with more than twenty-five years of experience. An honorary partner remains associated with the firm. Its motto: to provide a tailored solution and support suited to the success of each client's projects.

The team numbers around twelve: besides the partners, several certified chartered accountants and tax advisers, a tax-specialist accountant, trainees working towards the title, bookkeepers and an office manager. The firm stresses its human scale: clients are not numbers, staff turnover is low and every file is followed by both a partner and a staff member. Team members undergo continuous training on new tax, accounting and financial measures. First appointments are made directly with one of the three partners.

Services include preparing annual accounts, tax returns for individuals and legal entities and VAT returns, as well as non-profit accounting. On tax, Figestco Nord advises on direct and indirect taxation and the optimisation of tax structures. It assesses incorporation, prepares financial plans, supports estate planning and helps clients obtain investment grants. To offer complete support, it works with partners in various fields.

The firm uses digital tools whose logos it displays: Winbooks, Horus and its Falco app, Codabox for bank feeds and Billtobox for collecting documents.

Figestco Nord works with clients in every sector and says it operates throughout Belgium. Its clients range from self-employed people operating as individuals, through companies or non-profits, to craftspeople and company directors, employees, liberal professions, shopkeepers and industrialists. They include sole proprietorships as well as SMEs and large companies.

The firm regularly recruits accounting profiles with a tax specialisation and experience in an accounting practice, able to follow and advise a varied client portfolio, and highlights team spirit and a pleasant working environment. Other team members include Noémie Custinne and Lucas Golinveau, certified chartered accountants and tax advisers, and Nicolas Scappini, a tax-specialist accountant. The firm likes to quote a line attributed to Henry Ford: coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success.
