MENSIA FIDUCIAIRE

Mensia is an accounting fiduciary in Mons, based in Maisières and founded in 2002 by Bertrand Cardinal. He is an accountant with more than 35 years in the profession and leads a team of eight. The office brings together people at different stages of their careers: certified accountants, trainee accountants, bookkeepers and a secretarial role. Together they support more than 200 clients. The firm says it builds its reputation on rigour, transparency and proximity.

The main clientele ranges from the self-employed to SMEs. The website also lists large companies and associations among the profiles served, from small structures to fast-growing businesses. In its view, choosing an accountant should rest on proximity, specialisation and an understanding of what is at stake in each sector. Mensia therefore stresses a personal approach and knowledge of Belgian regulations.

The first area of work is general accounting: full management of accounts, keeping the books, and preparing balance sheets and annual accounts. The second concerns VAT, with advice and management of returns, including for intra-Community transactions. These two tasks make up the regular follow-up the firm provides, in line with its clients' tax, financial and administrative obligations.

For individuals, the firm prepares and optimises personal income tax returns, with the aim of claiming every available tax benefit. For people starting out, it handles company formation from end to end: choosing the legal form, administrative formalities, drawing up the financial plan and the visit to the notary. Business owners thus have a single contact for the launch phase.

The firm assists and represents its clients during tax audits, drawing on internal and external expertise. It also offers cross-border taxation. For French companies, Mensia works with an accountant based in Valenciennes, so that management is coordinated on both sides of the border.

The office can be reached from Monday to Friday, and clients have an online client area. Mensia insists on personal follow-up: each client receives tailored support after an analysis of their needs. For routine work, the accountant also supports business owners in their financial decisions, beyond legal obligations alone. This range of services covers the main aspects of accounting and tax for a small structure.

Its stated mission is to support the management and optimisation of clients' tax, financial and administrative obligations. The office is open Monday to Friday, from 8.30 am to 5 pm, and highlights how it has evolved with its clients' needs since 2002.
