Curaçao · Bonaire · The Netherlands

Tax advice from someone who has sat on every side of the table.

Tax inspector, Policy Adviser at the Ministry of Finance, Tax Lawyer and Tax Manager in international practice, and a business owner myself. I know how tax rules are written, how inspectors apply them, and what they mean for governments, entrepreneurs, employees, wealthy families and investors. I advise individuals, entrepreneurs and families whose affairs cross Curaçao, Bonaire and the Netherlands, and I handle every file personally. For five recurring questions I have prepared fixed-fee opinions that you can order online: written for your situation, with the fee agreed before I start.

Latest news

I handle every file personally, from the first conversation.

Every engagement begins with a confidential conversation about your position, your timeline and what a good outcome looks like. If I am not the right adviser for the matter, I will say so and point you to someone who is. For five recurring questions you can also start with a short questionnaire and a fixed fee.
