PHC Expert

PhC Expert is a firm of certified chartered accountants and tax advisers on chaussée de Huy in Chaumont-Gistoux, Walloon Brabant, close to the E411 motorway. It is approved by the ITAA under number 50.668.756. The firm describes itself as human-sized: four accountants and a secretary, in a fully digital office. It presents itself above all as a partner and adviser to SME-type businesses and their managers, with long experience in company accounting and taxation.

The firm is led by Philippe Charot, a chartered accountant and tax adviser certified by the ITAA since 2005. His background, set out on the website, includes a bachelor's degree in accounting, a postgraduate degree in tax law, training in direct and indirect taxation, training in IFRS and IAS international standards at UCLouvain and a degree in wealth and estate planning. He previously worked at several accounting firms, including Deloitte. The team also includes Guillaume Lebrun, chartered accountant and tax adviser, a former chief accountant of companies in Brabant and accounting graduates.

Day-to-day work covers posting accounting documents and VAT returns, preparing interim financial statements, preparing corporate income tax and personal income tax returns, preparing the accounts to be filed with the National Bank and drafting minutes of general meetings and various reports. The stated aim is advice and support: putting the right tools and procedures in place to make entrepreneurs' work easier, rather than simply recording figures.

PhC Expert advises clients on the Companies and Associations Code: choice of company type, financial plan and governance. It supports business start-ups by helping to choose the legal form and the tools to put in place, and steps in when an existing structure no longer meets the entrepreneur's needs. It also assists clients considering the acquisition of a business. For directors, the firm deals with income optimisation: choice of remuneration, alternative forms of pay and how to implement them.

Non-profits and foundations are a sector the firm says it knows well. The website publishes, for example, a note on the tax treatment of vehicle costs for non-profits in 2026 and on the indexation of volunteer allowances. More broadly, PhC Expert maintains three tax update sections: short news flashes, more detailed "Echo-taxes" articles that are kept up to date, for instance on advance tax payments, and a periodic newsletter. One detailed note analyses the tax measures in the federal coalition agreement for SMEs and the self-employed.

The firm trains its staff and offers ITAA traineeships. It stresses the quality of relationships with clients and among colleagues, and promises that an experienced member of staff will always be available to guide clients. The office has private parking.
