An ASBL (association sans but lucratif) is the legal structure that is most frequently used by non-profit organizations in Belgium. It grants an organization the right to pursue activities in Belgium that are deemed to be “in the public interest” as outlined in the law. An ASBL in Belgium is typically managed by a governing board which is elected by the membership.
Creating an ASBL requires the submission of a variety of documents with the applicable registry, including a list of the governing board members. It is wise to consult with a lawyer when taking the steps to create an ASBL.
Accountable can be used for your ASBL/VZW. However, there are a few limitations for this use case. As a VZW, you have 2 tax obligations and the app can help you with the following:
Invoicing and accounting -> Accountable can work for a small or micro VZW (< 5 workers, less than 334.500€ turnover), as you are only expected to have a simplified accounting. Accountable doesn't support balance sheet and income statement (required for larger VZW)
VAT return -> prepared automatically with Accountable in the app
Yearly closing: income statement is available in the app. To prepare your yearly budget and minutes of the general assembly, we provide guidelines.
Yearly Patrimonial/Wealth Tax (if taxable assets amount >50.000€) -> Accountable provides guidelines (official guidelines available here)
Company tax return + publication -> This is not supported by Accountable, and we can provide guidelines.
You can find more information on this link.
💡 When you create an Accountable account for an ASBL/ VZW, you must select “Enterprise” as the account type during the account creation process. ✅ VAT registered ⚠️ Businesses under the VAT franchise (small enterprises) regime are not yet supported by Accountable. |
If you are a small ASBL/VZW, we suggest you create your account in order to test the app (you have access to the full app for 2 weeks, free of charge and with no commitment).

This program is a lifesaver, and it is always improving. Plus, it has an AI chat feature that is actually useful.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
