How to choose your accountant in Luxembourg
Check that the firm is a member of the Ordre des Experts-Comptables (OEC). Compare at least 3 detailed quotes by examining the exact scope of services. Make sure the firm understands your industry and uses modern digital tools (client portal, e-signature, OCR). Be wary of abnormally low offers that often exclude VAT, payroll or tax advice, which are then charged as extras.
