At Palmans & Co, it's about more than just numbers. They are not just an accounting firm, but a true partner for entrepreneurs. Whether it's accounting, tax obligations, or strategic advice: they help their clients grow, both professionally and personally. Accuracy, integrity, and genuine personal contact are central to their approach.
Because behind every number is a story. And they want to help write that story.
How do they achieve this? We'd like to hand over to Jean-Paul and Tom!
Which section of Bizzcontrol do you use the most?
“Without a doubt the report generator,” begins Jean-Paul. “That is the section we use the most.” “The reports are visually powerful and you can quickly extract the essence. It saves us a lot of work.”
What is the biggest advantage of the report generator for you?
"The visual layout is a game-changer," says Tom enthusiastically. "You immediately see how your client is doing. No more dry tables, but clear, visual graphs like the waterfall chart, which are much more appealing." "Once you get the hang of it, you can output reports extremely quickly." "And the ability to generate reports in bulk is a huge advantage. It saves us so much time compared to before."
What differences do you notice compared to previous reporting methods?
“In the past, it was all a bit more ad hoc.” “Clients would send an email with a question, and then we would get to work. Now it is much more integrated into our established processes.” “The big difference is that we no longer wait for the client to ask something themselves,” says Tom. “We can now provide proactive insights. That makes a world of difference, and clients appreciate it.”

How does Bizzcontrol affect your work as an accountant?
“We feel some extra pressure to record everything on time,” admits Jean-Paul, “but that’s actually good. We now realize more than ever how crucial data quality is. It must be spot-on, otherwise your report is incorrect.” “Exactly,” laughs Tom. “Bizzcontrol is a kind of friendly nudge. But at the same time, it also saves us time. Yes, it takes a bit to get used to, but after that, it runs like clockwork.”
How easy did you find it to learn to work with Bizzcontrol?
"Actually surprisingly smooth," according to Jean-Paul. "Of course, you have to dive in, but the guidance of our Customer Success Manager, Manon, quickly got us through it. She is still ready to assist us." "Once you're up and running, everything flows naturally," says Tom. "The tool is super visual and intuitively designed. You immediately see where to click, and with the clear structure, you quickly find your way. No complicated hassle, it's just a matter of starting, and before you know it, you're working with it effortlessly."
How satisfied are you generally with Bizzcontrol?
"Very satisfied," says Tom resolutely. "Bizzcontrol is truly an added value for our office. Our accounting package mainly provides raw data, but entrepreneurs do not always understand it. With Bizzcontrol, we translate this into comprehensible language and structured reports." "Yes, the summary in the reports is truly worth its weight in gold." "And the support from Bizzcontrol is excellent. Sometimes we really need that extra push,"
What steps do you wish to take in the future regarding advisory services?
“We want to provide more targeted advice,” says Jean-Paul drivenly. “Not just showing figures, but really giving advice on where our clients can improve their business.” “We want clients for whom we can truly make a difference,” adds Tom. “Companies that crave more insight into their numbers, that’s where we want to make an impact.”
Why would you recommend Bizzcontrol to fellow accountants?
“Because it's truly an added value,” says Tom without hesitation. “It makes reports easy, clear, and to be honest, a lot more professional too.” “We discovered it ourselves through another accountant.” “And I would, in turn, recommend it to every colleague. It's just a no-brainer if you want to better advise your clients.”
Thank you Jean-Paul and Tom, for your time and enthusiasm! It is inspiring to hear how Bizzcontrol not only makes your work more efficient but also boosts your consultancy. And honestly? We are secretly looking forward to your office that, thanks to renovations, will soon have a new look. One thing is certain: your consulting is already in a trendy coat thanks to Bizzcontrol, and it suits you fantastically!
