Unprofessional communication and missed timelines
In our experience, the way this firm handled various situations was far from the level of professionalism typically expected from service providers in the Netherlands. While our initial interactions were positive, the quality of service declined significantly over time. We paid in advance for tax-related services but had to follow up repeatedly to receive even the most basic deliverables this year. Written confirmations were later contradicted, and when we followed up on them, our enquiries were met with a tone we experienced as rude, dismissive, and at some point even intimidating.
Our experience doesn’t seem to be isolated, as we later came across other reviews describing similar concerns. One review on Trustpilot even mentioned plans to file a complaint with the Dutch Institute of Chartered Accountants (NBA). However, to the best of our knowledge at the time of this review, neither the firm nor its employees appear in the official NBA register, in the Dutch Association of Tax Advisers (De Nederlandse Orde van Belastingadviseurs – NOB), or the Register of Tax Advisers (Register Belastingadviseurs – RB). This lack of formal oversight may unfortunately leave clients without clear escalation routes, which in itself is a reason for caution before engaging their services.
We ultimately decided to terminate our contract with this firm based on the issues described above. This review reflects our documented household experience and is shared in good faith to help others make informed decisions.
