Tax Consulting

Tax Consulting Ramsel is a firm of tax accountants on Ramselsesteenweg in Ramsel, part of the municipality of Herselt, in the province of Antwerp. The company is registered with the ITAA under number 50.752.925. It was founded in 2008 by Caroline Meys, its managing director, who says she has been keeping accounts since the age of fourteen and cites more than thirty years of experience across accounting and business. The office moved to its current address in 2017, the year it hired its first employee, and has kept growing since.

The team remains small: alongside the managing director work an administrative assistant and two client file managers, all graduates in accountancy and tax from UCLL. The office also draws on colleagues and outside experts, particularly for digitising administration, and its members complete more training hours each year than required. It promises down-to-earth advice in plain language without jargon, and a relationship in which clients feel "part of the family".

The first service is bookkeeping for sole traders and companies. The office works with digital bookkeeping: clients send their documents quickly and easily, have an up-to-date view of their figures and use a client portal on Adsolut. The website also mentions working with Billtobox for collecting documents. The office sums up its approach in one line: a good accountant is a business cost that more than pays for itself.

The second area is tax: monitoring the tax obligations of the business and its owner, and support with tax optimisation, including when things become more complex as the business grows. The office keeps track of constant changes in tax law to adjust its advice. The third area, advice and support, makes the office a sparring partner for self-employed clients: discussions at a strategic level, help setting priorities and deciding faster, and measures to steer the business.

Working together follows a step-by-step method. An introductory meeting checks whether both sides want to work together. The client then receives a questionnaire to prepare for the intake interview and, for an existing business, a request for data from previous financial years. That intake interview, lasting about two hours, takes place roughly two weeks later. If the client confirms, the office draws up a personalised action plan and supports them through every stage of their business.

Finally, the website gathers useful links for entrepreneurs: the public search of the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises, the withholding obligation in construction, the Belgian Official Gazette, the National Bank and MyMinFin. The published testimonials praise a clear answer to every question, even after some research, and attentive listening.
