Robert Jan de Rek Partner | Member of the Executive Board
Personal quote / vision
The role of the AA accountant has been subject to major changes in recent years. On the one hand the increased regulatory burden, but on the other hand also the realization that, of course, the client is central, but that social interests play a role more than ever in the relationship between accountant and client. Increased automation means that instead of looking back, the accountant is increasingly looking strategically ahead together with the client and acting as a sparring partner and advisor.
