MD COMPTA

MD Compta is a small accounting and tax office on rue Louis Michotte in Orp-Jauche, in eastern Walloon Brabant. The company is accredited by the ITAA under number 50.618.438. It is run by Michaël Duward, a tax-specialist chartered accountant since 2006, whom the website describes as easy to reach and attentive. Mihaela Chiriac handles marketing and administration and also speaks Romanian. The office works mainly in the provinces of Walloon Brabant, Namur and Liège, as well as in Brussels, and is available Monday to Friday from 8.00 to 17.30.

The firm sums up its approach in one line: it supports entrepreneurs, not files. Each client has a dedicated file manager, supervised by the chartered accountant, for personal and proactive follow-up. The office also emphasises sustainability: it began going paperless in 2012, invested in fully digital software in 2018, and its offices and servers run mainly on solar power.

Digital bookkeeping relies on Horus Office and its Falco app. Clients photograph receipts and supporting documents to send them straight to the accounts, and can view their results and documents at any time, with customisable charts. Falco, an official access point to the Peppol network, lets clients send compliant e-invoices and receive those of their suppliers. Clients not subject to mandatory e-invoicing can upload their PDFs to the office's server free of charge. Each invoice is checked by a staff member before final validation. The office handles complete bookkeeping, from entering transactions to financial statements and returns.

On VAT, MD Compta pays close attention to the compliance of invoices issued and received, to prevent fines: rates for building work, hospitality or intra-community acquisitions, mandatory invoice details, and what to require from suppliers. It asks clients to send invoices as they come in and not to mix in private expenses. On tax, its stated goal is a fair tax bill: it explores with the client the legal ways to reduce the taxable base, stressing anticipation, timely implementation and thorough documentation.

Legal support starts with the choice between a company and self-employed status, which depends on each person's goals, project and personal and financial situation. The office supports business formation, drafting articles of association and administrative steps, helps clients meet legal obligations, assists with contracts and legal documents, and helps prevent and resolve disputes. For matters outside its field, it refers clients to lawyers, notaries or surveyors. The website also offers useful links to the withholding obligation check, VIES, the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises, MyMinfin and the ITAA.
