Personal quote / vision

The moving tax landscape requires a strong market- and client-driven approach, taking into account current laws and regulations. We experience a significantly increased regulatory burden and stricter requirements in the execution of our work. To respond well to this, we look at issues from our vision of quality in combination with relevant knowledge, professionalism and integrity. In which innovation plays an important role.

Forvis Mazars Board of Directors in the Netherlands

• In September 2016, I joined the Executive Board. In this role, I am responsible for the development of the tax practice in the Netherlands and have been in charge of the HR, Legal and Innovation portfolios. In 2021, I began a new four-year term on the Board. In addition to my advisory work for high net worth individuals and family businesses, I am responsible for the Tax service line and will set the course in the changing tax landscape. In addition to this tax practice responsibility, I am involved in IT, Legal and Business and Innovation.

Specialized experience

• Within my day-to-day practice, my focus is on advising high net worth individuals and (often related) family businessess in the broadest sense of the word, in particular (inter)national estate and tax planning

Specific client experience

• High net worth individuals often operate both nationally and internationally, requiring advice on pre-immigration or emigration planning, tax compliance, business succession within the family business and on the preservation and protection of family assets. Our approach here is top down. We start with the natural person and work our way down to the active company
