What we do, in detail

Four services, all delivered as results rather than as people placed with you.

Program 01 · Output, not a desk

Back-office and administration

The distinction matters here more than anywhere. We take on a defined body of administrative work and deliver it, rather than sitting in your office under your instruction, which would be the supply of personnel that Belgian law prohibits. In practice it also works better: a task with a definition and a deadline gets finished, whereas a person in a chair absorbs whatever arrives.

  • Per engagement
  • Owner-managed businesses
  • Written scope
  • Deliverables defined

Reporting as agreed.

Step 4 · Hand over

Documented, to whoever follows.

Program 02 · A mandate, not a job

Interim management

An interim mandate is written down: what is to be achieved, over what period, with what authority and reporting to whom. We work as an independent undertaking on that mandate rather than as an employee in your hierarchy, which keeps both of us out of the reclassification and staff-supply problems that informal arrangements create.

  • Per mandate
  • SMEs and small groups
  • Written mandate
  • Defined authority

Program 03 · The real process

Process review

The written procedure and the real one differ in almost every business, and it is the real one that produces the delays. We reconstruct it with the people doing the work, because a review based on the official chart rearranges boxes and changes nothing. Then we say which steps should be removed rather than improved.

  • Per engagement
  • SMEs
  • Written scope
  • Access to the team

Step 1 · Observe

How the work really flows.

Step 2 · Bottlenecks

Where it stops, and why.

Step 3 · Remove

Before automating or adding.

Step 4 · Document

So it survives us leaving.

Step 1 · Map the group

Entities, flows and gaps.

Step 2 · Central view

Reporting that covers all of it.

Step 3 · Coordinate

What falls between companies.

Step 4 · Refer

Accounting and tax to the ITAA.

Program 04 · For small groups

Head office functions

Small groups often run several operating companies with no central function at all, so coordination happens in the owner's head and nowhere else. We provide that central support: consolidated reporting, coordination between entities, and oversight of the things that fall between companies. Accounting and tax for those entities stay with an ITAA-registered professional.

  • Per engagement
  • Small groups
  • Written scope
  • Reserved work referred
