Haentjens Accountants & Belastingconsulenten

What Haentjens Accountants & Belastingconsulenten does

Haentjens Accountants & Belastingconsulenten is a Belgian private professional services firm (BVBA, enterprise number 0432.680.574) operating from its headquarters in Lokeren, East Flanders, and a secondary office in Brasschaat. The firm is led by three partners — Filip Haentjens, Bart Haentjens, and Kevin Ombrouck — and is family-influenced, with two of the three partners sharing the Haentjens surname. It serves small and medium enterprises, family-owned businesses, start-ups, and self-employed professionals across the East Flanders and Waasland region, with named coverage of Lokeren, Lochristi, Destelbergen, Stekene, Sint-Niklaas, Waasmunster, and Brasschaat. Customer acquisition is sales-led and relationship-driven, with assigned senior accountants and dossier managers acting as single points of contact.

The firm's service portfolio is built on five core pillars: Boekhouding (Accounting/Bookkeeping), Fiscaliteit (Taxation), Corporate Finance, Advies Familiebedrijf (Family Business Advisory), and Vermogensplanning (Wealth Planning). Bookkeeping is positioned as the foundation, with two extensions — a digital online bookkeeping platform with Coda file ingestion and bank-system integrations, and an in-company deployment model in which firm staff operate on client premises. Corporate Finance is sub-divided into four mandates: business startups, M&A and restructuring, growth-company advisory, and real estate investment. Adjacent services include succession planning, income and pension planning, and personal wealth simulation.

Revenue is generated through hourly billing and retainer-based professional fees, with rates periodically revised and disclosed to clients on request rather than published. The firm is registered with the IAB (Instituut van de Accountants en Belastingconsulenten) and is a recognized service provider under the Flemish KMO-portefeuille program, allowing clients to claim government subsidies of up to €10,000 (small) to €15,000 (medium) per year for advisory services. Technology is limited to standard accounting packages and digital tooling for bank-reconciliation; no proprietary platform, AI capability, or app is disclosed. No funding rounds, external investment, acquisitions, or headcount figures are present in the source data.

Directly comparable service breadth across accounting, tax, corporate finance, and succession advisory, but at materially larger scale and broader geographic reach than Haentjens.

Broad incumbents

• KPMG Belgium: Big-4 firm with Belgian tax, audit, and advisory practices including family-business and SME services. Comparable service taxonomy to Haentjens, but with scale and brand advantages Haentjens cannot match.
