Wim Lubben Partner

Personal quote / vision

Accountancy and related consulting is a beautiful profession and here I can make a valuable contribution to the development of our clients and society as a trusted advisor. Analyzing and understanding financial information is of obvious importance both for the users of that information and for our clients. In my daily work, the challenge for me is to listen well, to be professionally critical and to say 'no' at the right moments and to explain this convincingly.
