Your documents: finance & insurance
The accountancy and bookkeeping firms of the region handle files that cross the border every day: a Dutch managing director, a German cross-border worker, a parent company abroad. Get one balance sheet item roughly right and the whole document loses its weight with the reader.
Annual accounts
Balance sheets, income statements, notes and management reports filed with the National Bank.
Tax documents
Tax assessments, returns, tax certificates and residence certificates for cross-border workers.
Banking documents
Statements, balance confirmations, loan, credit and leasing agreements.
Insurance
Policies, general conditions, cover tables and product information sheets.
Claims
Claim notifications, statements of facts, loss adjuster reports and settlement correspondence.
Audit and compliance
Audit reports, engagement letters, due diligence packs and compliance paperwork.
The way we handle the finance & insurance sector
A badly rendered balance sheet item or a vague exclusion clause is enough to make a document unusable. Our linguists know the Belgian chart of accounts, the headings used when filing with the National Bank and IFRS terminology, and they know that insurance vocabulary does not copy across from one country to another.
Around the Guillemins district, firms increasingly work with clients based in the Netherlands, Germany or Luxembourg, and with cross-border workers whose income is declared on both sides. Those files, intended for a bank, a tax authority or a foreign insurer, often call for a sworn translation, with legalisation of the signature at the FPS Justice where required.
Documents received are treated as such: access limited to the project manager and the linguist, deletion after delivery if you ask for it.
- Annual accounts, balance sheets and income statements
- Tax assessment notices and tax returns
- Bank statements and certificates of balance
- Loan, credit and leasing agreements
The situations where an interpreter changes the outcome
Here the interpreter steps in when the client has to understand exactly what they are signing, or exactly why they are being refused.
Bank meetings
Opening an account, presenting a credit file, explaining an early repayment clause.
Loss adjustments
Adversarial assessments where every finding counts, with a policyholder or an expert who speaks another language.
General meetings
Shareholder meetings and boards of directors with participants from abroad.
Tax inspections
Interviews with the tax authorities, where the rendering must stay neutral and complete.
A document intended for a foreign tax authority or bank almost always calls for a sworn translation, sometimes with an apostille on top. Those formalities add 3 to 5 working days, and tax deadlines do not move.
Four steps, one contact person
The same person follows your finance & insurance file from the quote request to the moment the document is handed over.

Six reasons to trust us with a finance & insurance file
Belgian chart of accounts and IFRS
Our financial linguists work with the terminology of the Belgian chart of accounts and of the IFRS standards. When an item has no equivalent in the reader's framework, we flag it rather than invent a match.
Restricted access to documents
On a sensitive file only the project manager and the linguist open the files, and everything is deleted after delivery on written request.
A linguist from your field
A specialised file never goes to a generalist translator, not even when the deadline is tight.
Contractual confidentiality
A confidentiality agreement signed by everyone involved, servers located in the European Union, files deleted on request.
A price fixed in advance
What appears on the quote is what appears on the invoice: translation, revision and delivery included, with no line added along the way.
Travel included across the province
Our interpreters come to Liège, Huy, Verviers, Eupen or Waremme with no mileage charge.
Frequently asked questions
We employ cross-border workers, what needs translating?
Usually tax residence certificates, payslips and the certificates requested by the neighbouring country's administration. Depending on the counter, a standard translation is enough or the sworn version is required: ask before ordering, the answer changes both the deadline and the price.
Our annual accounts go to a foreign parent company: can you translate them?
Yes, the accountancy firms of the province ask for it regularly. We keep the structure of the Belgian balance sheet while using the terminology the reader expects, and we flag the items that have no direct equivalent in the other framework.
Does the bank require a sworn translation?
It depends on the institution and the purpose. For internal reading, a standard translation is enough. For international credit, an estate or a step with a foreign tax authority, the sworn version is almost always required.
How do you hold a filing date?
Give us the real date rather than a vague deadline. We build the schedule backwards and, if the volume calls for it, split the file between several linguists with a final harmonisation pass.
