3 things to keep in mind when choosing an accountant

Before choosing, it is important to compare prices and approaches and to trust the person who will take care of your financials.

1. Follow recommendations from fellow freelancers

The accountants on the list below have been recommended by the members of the Freelancers in Belgium community.

2. Set meetings with several accountants

Before choosing, it is important to compare prices and approaches and to trust the person who will take care of your financials. Meet with and compare at least 3 accountants with each other. Ask for references and actually check them. 

3. Questions you need to ask

  • What will it cost? Prices can range from 1200€-5000€/year depending on your company form, VAT status, amount of expenses and invoices, advice, tax submissions, digital tools, copyright application etc. As mentioned by a freelancer in the Freelancers in Belgium community “An accountant that gives proactive advice, will cost you more but will give you a high return on investment.”

  • If you are tight on budget, see if there is data entry that you can do yourself to lower the price.

  • Do they use digital tools, and which ones? What will you need to do, and how?

  • Do they give pro-active financial advice too or is it just admin and bookkeeping?

  • What is their preferred communication style? How long will you need to wait to get answers to questions? Can you call out of the blue? Is it better to set an appointment, or is email best? Do they charge per question, or is it included in the price?

  • Do they have experience with your specific situation? Think copyrights, international clients, and product/service mix.

  • Do they update you on relevant tax changes?
