History

  • 1983
    The office of DRT & Partners was founded in 1983 in Tielt-Winge under the name of Timmermans & co cv.
  • 1985
    In 1985 the first office opened in Diest in the Leuvensestraat. Because of its consistent growth the office moved to a larger location at the Henri Verstappenplein. At the same time, smaller offices were opened in Aarschot and in Blanden for a number of larger and middle-sized clients.
  • 1996
    It was only in 1996 that the name DRT & Partners was first used following the take-over of the office Defoort & co in Brussels.
  • 1999
    In 1999 this office moved to its current address at the Romeinsesteenweg in Wemmel.
  • 2001
    After the take-over of the office Peeters-Debie in Aarschot in 2001 and merging with the existing offices in Aarschot and Blanden the current establishment at the Grote Markt in Aarschot was formed.
  • 2006
    In order to create the necessary synergies and increase the availability for the clients, the office in Diest was integrated in the office in Aarschot in 2006.
  • 2019
    In 2019 Evelyne Fagnard became partner of the association of Accountantskantoor DRT & Partners BV.
  • 2020
    Anno 2020 – a year filled with challenges on all levels – we are still a dynamic, growing team focused on innovation and quality in an ever changing business environment.
