JACQUES & ASSOCIES

Jacques & Associés is a firm of chartered accountants and tax advisers on rue de Franchimont in Verviers, in the province of Liège. Its story begins in 1985; the firm took its current form in 2001 and has supported entrepreneurs, company directors and liberal professions for more than thirty years. Its motto sums up its ambition: your success, our mission. It holds that a chartered accountant's value lies not only in producing figures but in the ability to inform decisions and shape the future.

The firm has made a clear positioning choice: it works mainly with companies, company directors and full-time self-employed people. In its view, these profiles allow a comprehensive approach combining tax, wealth and strategic aspects. For personal income tax, it therefore only acts for company directors and full-time self-employed clients it already follows, to keep optimisation consistent. It favours quality over volume and focuses on files that call for real added value.

Its services cover company accounting and tax obligations, including VAT returns, balance sheets and tax returns, support for directors and full-time self-employed people, and tax optimisation for companies and their directors. The firm also handles property taxation and wealth structuring, business transfers and share sales, and non-resident taxation in Belgium. It publishes on its website the temporary legal documents linked to its clients' corporate transactions, such as merger or demerger proposals.

The firm describes itself as a strategic partner able to analyse the situation, anticipate tax impacts, structure choices and support clients over time, turning accounting information into concrete decisions. It aims to bring clarity, security and an overall view in an increasingly complex tax environment, with a rigorous but pragmatic approach.

On tools, Jacques & Associés works with Horus and its Falco app, Silverfin and Odoo, with Peppol integrations. It combines these tools with artificial intelligence to work more efficiently and spend more time on advice.

The firm has chosen to remain a human-scale practice. Each client has a direct, accessible contact person, and the partners work in direct contact with both clients and staff. The office is open Monday to Friday from 8.30 to 17.00 and recruits junior and experienced staff. Its website also gathers useful links to the ITAA, the Institute of Statutory Auditors, the Federal Public Service Finance, the University of Liège Tax Institute, the National Bank, the Belgian Official Gazette, Statbel, the VIES system and the directories of notaries and lawyers.
