KLEVER

Klever is an accounting and tax firm on avenue du Parc in Herve, in the Pays de Herve. It was born from the alliance of two practices that each had several decades of experience, and it chose a new name to mark that joint start. The firm now has a team of more than twenty-five people. It presents itself as a partner that follows entrepreneurs at every stage, from setting up the business to running it day to day, including legal and tax questions, with an approach it describes as pragmatic.

Bookkeeping is described as the backbone of the business. Klever organises, manages and supervises it through a fully digital approach: clients have real-time access to their financial data and can find their documents straight away. The firm also offers to take the digitalisation of its clients' accounting, financial and tax operations further, by automating recurring processes and setting up digital tools that simplify administrative obligations. The website does not name the software it uses.

On the tax side, the team handles every return: VAT, personal income tax, corporate income tax (ISOC) and legal entities tax. It prepares and files 281 forms, as well as returns for payroll withholding tax on the director's remuneration and for withholding tax on interest and dividends. The firm adds tax optimisation advice: it reviews the client's situation to point towards the least taxed options, including alternative forms of remuneration, within the rules in force.

For new ventures, Klever supports company formation from start to finish. It drafts the financial plan, takes care of the formalities and required steps, including registration with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises, and adds strategic advice for the launch phase. The firm also produces detailed financial plans for other purposes: an investment project, building a strategy or a forecast budget. These analyses are used to measure a project's financial feasibility over the medium and long term before committing to it.

Finally, the firm offers tailored special assignments. It lists the review of financial statements, business valuation for a sale, merger or acquisition, support during those transactions, internal restructuring and one-off profitability analyses. Along the same lines, its team works on organising administrative, accounting and finance departments, on studying the takeover of a company or a business, on the restructuring of companies in difficulty and on the transfer or sale of activities.

Klever highlights values of dedication and professionalism, and the aim of delivering financial analyses and personal advice within a reasonable time. When a question falls outside its field, it refers clients to a network of specialist experts while keeping its independence. The firm recruits complementary profiles from different sectors and publishes a newsletter. It is open Monday to Thursday from 8.30 am to 5 pm, with a lunch break, and on Friday until 4 pm.
