IMPACCT Accountants

Impacct Accountants is an accounting and tax firm in Leuven, in the Heverlee district, active in Flanders and Brussels. It took its current form in 2018, on the initiative of Kris Vanderwegen. A graduate in tax and then in accountancy, he has been an ITAA accountant since 1998, the year he launched Accountancy Vanderwegen. He now leads the firm with Jonas Aerts and Dries Vanlint, both certified tax accountants and directors. The firm does not want to stop at balance sheets, annual accounts and returns: it goes a few steps further with in-depth tax advice.

The team has four accountants, two trainee accountants and four staff trained in bookkeeping. Each client receives a fixed contact person who follows the file. For the review of figures and tax advice, the meeting takes place with an accountant. The firm states that its accountants remain reachable and think proactively with their clients. Continuous training is presented as a top priority, in order to give correct advice. The website shows the number of seminar hours attended over the past twelve months.

Bookkeeping serves several audiences. Among companies, the website mentions management companies, property holding companies, operating companies and insurance and bank agencies. The firm also works for sole traders, consultants, liberal professions, organisations and non-profit organisations. It offers book reviews at the company's premises and manages a digital platform, myIMPACCT, for submitting documents and reporting.

Digitalisation is a strong focus: the announced process is fully digital, from delivery to signature. Clients follow their accounts closely, saving time and money. The website also publishes the share of clients who deliver documents digitally and who invoice in UBL, the e-invoicing format. The firm can nevertheless keep the books on site if the client prefers.

Tax advice follows the figures closely and comes with targeted legal advice. The firm assists clients during tax and VAT audits and thinks with them about the long term. It prepares and files VAT returns and returns for corporate income tax, legal entity tax and personal income tax. It also works on optimising pay and profit distribution, supporting investments, forecast figures and budgets.

For start-ups, the firm offers start-up support, the search for the right company form, tax support and preparation of the financial plan. It promises to guide clients through the administrative process for a start free from accounting worries. It works across a wide range of sectors and has parking accessible via Groenstraat.
