Helsen Accountants is a family accounting firm on Hyundailaan in Tessenderlo, Limburg, on the top floor of a building right next to the E313 motorway. It is registered with the ITAA under number 50.397.156. The firm has supported small and large entrepreneurs for more than thirty years and combines local roots with clients all over Belgium. Its tagline, "Not your average accountant", reflects the aim of being a partner that helps entrepreneurs achieve their plans rather than just a bookkeeper.
The team, with Patrick Helsen and Arnaud Helsen listed first, has about twenty-five staff. The firm describes a modern, almost paperless environment with the latest digital tools, and file managers who are responsible for their files from A to Z: processing purchase and sales invoices, VAT returns, balance sheet, income statement and annual accounts, financial planning and reviewing interim and annual figures with the entrepreneur. Clients range from local business owners to well-known Flemish personalities.
The sectors covered are many: IT and technology, medical professions, banking and insurance, liberal professions, wholesale, industrial construction, property development and real estate and notarial practices. In bookkeeping, the firm presents the books as the foundation of the business, then goes further by analysing the figures, advising on how to optimise the business, proposing tax strategies and preparing financial forecasts. It highlights tailored growth planning and a personal approach.
The financial optimisation side answers directors' questions: how much salary to take as a director, whether to opt for management fees, a salary or dividends, how self-employed social contributions and payroll withholding tax work. The aim is to optimise pay costs while meeting every legal requirement, often after a phone call or a short meeting.
For acquisitions and valuations, Helsen supports bringing children into the business, buying a competitor or searching for a target. It values the business by looking beyond the figures at the people, assets, debts and culture, handles the legal documents, reports and certificates, and helps find a fair price for both sides. The firm says it has particular expertise in valuations and in family or complex acquisitions.
Corporate housekeeping covers choosing the company form, preparing the deed with the notary and the financial plan, monitoring legal obligations, changes of directors, registered office or articles, the digital share register and the UBO register. During a tax audit, the firm prepares the documentation, answers the authority's questions and recommends procedures to reduce future risks. It also acts as a mediator in shareholder disputes or disagreements with the tax authority.
