Wouter Pieters, partner at Van Coile &#038; Partners in Drongen, experienced this on a daily basis. \u201cAt a certain point, it became too difficult to find staff,\u201d he explains. \u201cWe then decided to stop taking on smaller <strong>sole proprietorships<\/strong>\u2014whether in secondary or primary occupation\u2014for the time being.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The profitability trap of small files<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason for ceasing to accept new clients was purely economic. A small account often takes an account manager just as much time, proportionally speaking, as a more complex one. Meanwhile, the entrepreneur\u2019s perception of the cost often does not align with the reality of manual bookkeeping. At Van Coile &#038; Partners, it was decided that the role of the <strong>accounting firm<\/strong> needed to shift from data processor to strategic advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dexxter as a &#8216;digital waiting room&#8217; for sole proprietorships<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The breakthrough came with the implementation of Dexxter, a tool specifically designed to meet the needs of <strong>sole proprietorships<\/strong>. By having new entrepreneurs work within this ecosystem, you create a win-win scenario for your firm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shared responsibility:<\/strong> Your clients do 80% of the preparatory work themselves. Entrepreneurs like Yannick enter their daily receipts and invoices directly into the smartphone app. They describe it as \u201cchild\u2019s play&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Free accountancy portal:<\/strong> As an accountant, you get completely free access to an <a href=\"https:\/\/dexxter.be\/en\/accountants\/\">overarching portal<\/a>. At a glance, you can see the quarterly revenue, expenses, and taxable income for all your linked files. You only need to take action when you receive a notification or when the figures indicate continued growth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smart automation:<\/strong> The software prevents double entries and automatically applies VAT reverse charge to EU invoices. This ensures that the data delivered to your <strong>accounting firm<\/strong> is of unparalleled quality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dexxter.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Dexxter-9-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79403\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A pipeline for the corporations of tomorrow<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA client who is small today doesn\u2019t have to stay small forever&#8221;, says Wouter. By using Dexxter as a \u2018waiting room,\u2019 you can retain these <strong>sole proprietorships<\/strong> during their growth phase at minimal operational cost. When they make the transition to a corporation, you already have a strong relationship with them, and they\u2019ll return to you as ideal, digitally savvy clients for double-entry bookkeeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Van Coile &#038; Partners is once again serving new business owners with great pleasure and profitability. They are building their client portfolio without the constant pressure to recruit new clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 <strong>Want to discover how your accounting firm can grow profitably again?
