Strataidge Fiduciaire & Conseils

Strataidge Fiduciaire & Conseils is an accounting firm in the Charleroi area, based in Ham-sur-Heure-Nalinnes and active in Wallonia and Brussels. The company is accredited by the ITAA under number 53.462.861. Its founders report more than fifteen years of experience in accounting and tax work for self-employed people and small, medium and large companies, up to sitting on boards of directors. The firm puts forward an approach in which accounting is the foundation and strategic management of the business is the goal.

The team is led by two chartered accountants listed in the ITAA register. Yohan Olivier, who holds a master's in management sciences, accounting and tax from the Louvain School of Management, supports self-employed people, SMEs and their directors from setting up the structure to following the figures. Julien Holleman, a tax-specialist chartered accountant, works on tax optimisation, the balance between salary and dividends, and making arrangements solid enough to withstand an audit. The website publishes their membership numbers, which can be checked in the public register.

Digital accounting management covers complete, ongoing bookkeeping, returns, annual accounts and financial analysis reports. Strataidge is an Odoo accounting partner and uses digital tools to collect and organise documents, so that its time goes into analysis. Several packages are offered: supported self-service from 25 euros a month, with software setup and training, payment and cash monitoring and a helpdesk; and full accounting and tax management from 75 euros a month, with data entry done by the firm and a dedicated ITAA-accredited account manager.

In tax advice, the firm works on the mix of salary and dividends, deductible business expenses, extracting profits from a company, anticipating tax and advance payments, the taxation of capital gains and assets, and preparing a transfer or sale. It holds mid-year reviews with a tax estimate and tracks recent reforms: the minimum director's salary for the reduced corporate income tax rate, VVPRbis withholding tax, the new tax on financial capital gains and the deductibility of company cars. It also takes on one-off assignments, such as a simulation before incorporating.

For business formation, Strataidge compares the sole proprietorship and the company in figures, draws up the financial plan required to set up a company, and handles registration with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises, VAT number activation and membership of a social insurance fund. Becoming self-employed is free of charge, while setting up or converting to a company starts at 500 euros. The firm warns new businesses about provisional social security contributions, keeping accounts separate and VAT.

Further services round out the offer: putting together financing and grant applications, structuring the business and its management, providing freelance finance professionals, and support with business transfers and acquisitions. Its flagship product, Multivision, brings several experts together around a single file. Individual coaching sessions for business owners are available in person or remotely. Strataidge can also work alongside an existing accountant, on strategy and management only, using a three-step method: reading the figures that matter, scenarios at thirty, sixty and ninety days, then execution and follow-up.
