The company has more than 35 years of experience in accountancy, tax and business advisory work, with a focus on family owned small and medium-sized enterprises. It currently employs 31 staff.
ADC’s six partners – Corinne Breuer, Dirk Heinen, Dylan Brülls, Micha Nilles, Raphael Ruess and Werner Müsch – will become shareholders in PIA Group.
Müsch said: “We have never viewed growth as an objective in itself, but rather as a way of ensuring that we can continue to offer our clients the quality they expect from us.
“Making the right decisions in this environment requires both specialist expertise and the capacity to invest. For our younger partners, joining PIA Group is therefore a deliberate choice for the future.”
The move is expected to strengthen PIA Group’s position in eastern Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
The transaction will also provide ADC clients with access to PIA Group’s specialist advisory services including legal, VAT, corporate finance, wealth planning and digital transformation.
The affiliation opens up “new perspectives” for ADC employees across Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg (Benelux) as well as Germany by fostering knowledge sharing, supporting career development and enabling collaboration with colleagues, PIA Group said.
Earlier this year, the group added five other businesses and is once again increasing its presence in Belgium and Luxembourg.
PIA Group Belux CEO Nathalie Calle said: “Our starting point is simple: locally where it creates value, together where it makes us stronger.
“The identity of the firm, the entrepreneurial spirit of its partners and the relationship with their clients are always the starting point.
“At the same time, we strengthen our firms with specialised support in the areas of IT, HR [human resources] and digitalisation.
“Together, we continuously look for more efficient processes and smart standardisations that prepare our offices for the future, without losing their own identity.”
