Holthaus Advies is an accountancy and consultancy firm situated in the very heart of Amsterdam. The core business of Holthaus Advies consists of bookkeeping, compiling annual accounts, salary administration and filing tax returns. Yet we go a lot further than most accountancy firms: as an extension of our financial and tax practice, we also provide tax and legal advice. In addition, Holthaus Advies has a commercially inspired corporate finance department.
We believe it is our obligation to help others. We have initiated Account Your Future (AYF), whereby New Dutch Citizens (status holders) with a financial background are trained to become finance professionals in The Netherlands. AYF is not profit driven and is supported by fellow financial administration and accountancy firms, law firms, banks and the Holthaus managers.
During this event, Angela Botman, Imre Parkanyi, Kelly Kramer and Jeroen Holthaus of Holthaus Advies (https://www.holthausadvies.nl/) will update you about financial, legal and tax announcements and modifications. The main topics include the corona support measures, and the Budget Memorandum. From a tax, financial and legal perspective, we will explain what will change and what the possible consequences will be for you as an entrepreneur. Jeroen, Angela, Imre and Kelly will gladly share the tips and tricks to make sure all obligations are fulfilled, but also how and when you can optimally make use of the measures.
