One contact person handles all
“Exterus was the company that supported us to our satisfaction with the tax matters in relation to working in Denmark. After the initial setup we had one contact person. This worked very well, because she could explain matters in a comprehensive way towards our employees and handled all contacts with third parties.”
Erik van der Vrugt,
HR Adviseur
Excellent service
“Exterus has continuously provided us with excellent service. The monthly payroll runs error free and regarding professional advice they are at the top. I always have very pleasant personal contact and cooperation in -all and all- complex tax matters.”
Wim Vangeenberghe,
President
All questions answered quickly
“We have a very good experience in cooperating with Exterus. We are in close contact on topics such as 30% rulings, Visa applications for expats and payroll related topics. All questions are always answered or sorted out quickly. We recently attended an online webinar with the team, in which Exterus updated us on the latest developments regarding the COVID situation. The presentation was very clear and provided us with the necessary tools to resolve certain issues ourselves or to prevent undesirable situations.” (translated from Dutch)
Sophia Mavromatis,
Human Resources
professional, clear, and quick “We started working with Exterus last year (2019) and have experienced our collaboration as more then positive. The service and information that is provided by Exterus can be described as professional, clear, and quick in response. The people working at Exterus have a personal approach and are able to convey difficult information in a very clear way – they are obviously experts in their field of expertise. Not only are we happy with their services, we are also satisfied with the rates for these services. I would certainly recommend Exterus to any organization looking for tax related advice and services.”
Llywela van der Stam, HR Advisor

Assistance from scratch to end of tenure
I have really liked and appreciate all for your assistance during my expat stay in the Netherlands. You have helped us from scratch to the end of my tenure, in times of need, especially Exterus mates working on immigration, payrolling and tax filing. Words are not enough to express my gratitude and I strongly recommend Exterus when moving in, and out, of the Netherlands. I pray that one day our paths can cross again.

“Exterus is a real business partner when it comes to expats/assignments and tax related matters. What I truly like is that they are taking ownership of the full advice by using their partners abroad.

Exterus is one of the few service providers where I can honestly say: ‘Exceeding customer expectations!’ “

They have solid expertise and deliver work of high quality. I would surely recommend Exterus for receiving clear advice in – often- complex matters.”

Quinten van der Perk
Payroll Assistant
Van trainee tot zeer gewaardeerde collega
Quinten is 20 jaar en sinds 2019 werkzaam bij Exterus op de afdeling Payroll. “Eigenlijk ben ik hier via een kennis van mij terechtgekomen. Tijdens de eerste kennismaking met Evert was er direct een klik. We hebben de verwachtingen naar elkaar uitgesproken en na drie gesprekken zijn we akkoord gegaan. Als trainee ben ik dus zonder kennis, achterliggende opleiding en ervaring gestart bij Exterus. Dat ze mij deze kans hebben geboden, daar ben ik ze nog altijd dankbaar voor”, vertelt Quinten.
Opleidingen volgen en groeien
“In de beginfase was het echt even wennen. Inmiddels heb ik wel mijn draai gevonden. Ik ben veel vragen gaan stellen aan collega’s en zij namen ook echt de tijd voor mij. Vanaf februari 2020 ben ik de opleiding praktijkdiploma loonadministratie gaan volgen. Deze zes maanden durende opleiding is aangeboden door Exterus. Zodra ik deze opleiding heb afgerond start ik met de vervolgopleiding VPS. Het geeft aan dat ze in mij durven investeren. Dat geeft vertrouwen voor de toekomst.”
“Vanaf februari 2020 ben ik de opleiding praktijkdiploma loonadministratie gaan volgen. Deze zes maanden durende opleiding is aangeboden door Exterus.”
Een dag bij Exterus
“Hoe mijn dag er bij Exterus uitziet? We starten de dag gezamenlijk met het doornemen van de planning. Wie doet wat, wie heeft er hulp nodig en wie heeft er nog ruimte voor extra werkzaamheden? Ons doel is om de klant zo snel en zo goed mogelijk te helpen via mail, telefonisch of via de online omgeving. De klant staat altijd centraal. Ik help de klant en zorg ervoor dat alles zorgvuldig verwerkt wordt. Daar ben ik sowieso dagelijks mee bezig.”
“Het mooiste aan mijn werk op dit moment is dat ik iedere dag nieuwe dingen leer. Het is uitdagend en ook op persoonlijk vlak ontwikkel ik mezelf in rap tempo.”
Hecht en ambitieus team
Het mooiste aan mijn werk op dit moment is dat ik iedere dag nieuwe dingen leer. Het is uitdagend en ook op persoonlijk vlak ontwikkel ik mezelf in rap tempo. Dit geeft enorm veel voldoening. Daarnaast vind ik het met mijn collega’s erg leuk. Naast het feit dat ik veel van ze leer, werkt het motiverend om samen het einddoel na te streven. We vullen elkaar goed aan en iedereen staat voor elkaar klaar. Dit wordt versterkt door de jaarlijkse uitjes, activiteiten en borrels die georganiseerd worden. Ik ben hier voorlopig nog niet weg”, vertelt Quinten met een glimlach.
Jahir Dijks
Tax Advisor
Van werkstudent tot fulltime tax advisor
Jahir Dijks, afgestudeerd als fiscaal jurist, is in 2015 gestart als werkstudent binnen Exterus. “Via een huisgenoot ben ik destijds met Exterus in contact gekomen. Naast mijn studie heb ik gemiddeld twee dagen per week bij Exterus gewerkt. In eerste instantie hield ik mij vooral bezig met aangiften inkomstenbelasting, kleine adviezen en de 30% regeling. Op die manier heb ik mijn expertise opgebouwd en de basis gelegd voor de toekomst. Inmiddels ben ik doorgegroeid tot fulltime tax advisor”, vertelt Jahir.
Tax advice
Jahir vervolgt: “Als je naar dienstverlening inzake belastingen kijkt, heb je in principe twee hoofdvormen. Tax compliance en tax advice. Compliance betekent simpelweg; ik moet voldoen aan de wetgeving. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan loonheffingen die correct zijn en aangiften inkomstenbelasting die tijdig en juist worden ingediend. Kortom: het voldoen aan de wet- en regelgeving. Binnen Exterus richt ik me op tax advice. Hierbij voorzien we in het geven van advies aan klanten die in de toekomst stappen willen zetten. Waar moet de klant aan denken? Welke gevolgen hebben bepaalde keuzes? Ik ben dus veel in contact met klanten en probeer ze optimaal te adviseren. Vrijwel iedere klant heeft een uniek vraagstuk. Er is geen dossier hetzelfde. Dit maakt mijn werk echt afwisselend en uitdagend.”
“Vrijwel iedere klant heeft een uniek vraagstuk. Er is geen dossier hetzelfde. Dit maakt mijn werk echt afwisselend en uitdagend.”
Rol als Tax Advisor
“In de ochtend start ik altijd met mijn globale planning voor de dag. Vaak loopt het toch iets anders. Gister bijvoorbeeld had ik iemand aan de telefoon die een werknemer in Griekenland wilde aannemen. Dan breng ik eerst de juiste partijen met elkaar in contact. Vervolgens overleg ik met mijn collega Dennis hoe we deze klant optimaal verder kunnen helpen. Er zijn verschillende opties die we met elkaar doornemen. Ons advies is maatwerk, het moet echt optimaal op de klant zijn afgestemd. Verder ga ik straks nog een aantal aanvragen voor de 30% regeling indienen en overleggen met collega’s over lopende zaken.”
“Initiatief nemen voor zelfontwikkeling wordt zeer gewaardeerd binnen Exterus. Als je kansen ziet, mag je ze benutten.”
Zelfontwikkeling
“Binnen Exterus zijn er voldoende ontwikkelmogelijkheden. Ik wil graag een derde taal leren, Duits. Verder zou ik nog een cursus in consultancy willen volgen. Hoe kan ik nog beter worden in het geven van advies? Initiatief nemen voor zelfontwikkeling wordt zeer gewaardeerd binnen het bedrijf. Als je kansen ziet, mag je ze benutten. Hier wordt alle ruimte voor gegeven.”
“We zijn direct naar elkaar, maar wel met respect voor elkaar.”
Verbinding met elkaar
“De relatie met collega’s binnen Exterus is goed. We zijn direct naar elkaar, maar wel met respect voor elkaar. Het is een diverse en dynamische groep. We nodigen elkaar weleens thuis uit voor een hapje en drankje, dat geeft wel aan hoe de sfeer is. Vanwege de intelligente lockdown heb ik een tijd thuisgewerkt. Toen heb ik kantoor echt gemist. Vreselijk. Juist het werken met collega’s vind ik waardevol. Uiteindelijk draait het ook om de verbinding met elkaar.
Van tafeltennissen tot bootcampen
Er worden diverse uitjes georganiseerd en voor de liefhebbers is er een vrijdagmiddagborrel. Verjaardagen worden ook altijd goed gevierd. De persoon die jarig is krijgt een cadeau van de collega, die ervoor jarig is geweest. Verder kunnen we lekker pingpongen met een muziekje erbij en vieren we de gebruikelijke feestdagen. We bootcampen ook geregeld met elkaar. Dit draagt bij aan de sfeer binnen de organisatie, zodat we ook echt samen kunnen bouwen aan partnerships, waarin de mensen centraal staan”, sluit een enthousiaste Jahir af.
Jantiene van der Velden – Fels
Tax Manager
Van de Big4 naar Exterus
Jantiene is inmiddels drie jaar aan het werk als Tax Manager bij Exterus. Aan ervaring geen gebrek. Zo heeft ze voorheen geruime tijd bij twee zogenoemde Big4 kantoren gewerkt. “Ik zit inderdaad al wat langer in het vak. Uiteindelijk ben ik via een recruiter bij Exterus terechtgekomen. Na het eerste gesprek met de partners van Exterus was ik direct enthousiast en zo is het balletje gaan rollen”, vertelt Jantiene.
Tax Manager
“In mijn rol als Tax Manager ben ik verantwoordelijk voor de aangiften inkomstenbelasting. Dit doe ik samen met een team van vier medewerkers, waar ik eindverantwoordelijk voor ben. We zorgen er met name voor dat alle aangiftes voor onze klanten correct en tijdig de deur uitgaan. Daarbij streven we er met ons team naar om iedere maand onze omzetdoelstelling te behalen. Ik hou van die uitdaging. Hierdoor zetten we net dat stapje extra.”
“Mijn dagen beginnen vaak met het doornemen van de planning, mails beantwoorden, overleg met collega’s en uiteraard een overheerlijke kop koffie. Eens in de twee weken bespreken we diverse thema’s of volgen presentaties van andere afdelingen. Ook is er voor iedere medewerker een opleidingsbudget beschikbaar. Daar ben je zelf verantwoordelijk voor. Ik vind het ontzettend waardevol dat je jezelf op deze manier kan blijven uitdagen en ontwikkelen.”
“Wat het grote verschil is met de Big4? Exterus is kleinschaliger, persoonlijker en in mijn beleving sterker in het bedienen van klanten.”
De klant centraal
Wat het grote verschil is met de Big4? “Bij Exterus staat het contact met de klant echt centraal. Dat past bij wie ik als persoon ben. Daarnaast is er ruimte voor eigen inbreng en ideeën, er is veel mogelijk. Iemand telefonisch te woord staan is geen enkel probleem. In vergelijking met de Big4 is Exterus kleinschaliger, persoonlijker en in mijn beleving sterker in het bedienen van klanten.”
“Om het teamgevoel te stimuleren worden er zelfs bootcamptrainingen aangeboden. Het is direct na het werk en iedereen is vrij om deel te nemen. Het werkt uitstekend voor de conditie en de teambuilding.”
Jong en dynamisch team
Over de sfeer met collega’s hoeft Jantiene niet lang na te denken. “Het contact met collega’s is super. Het is een dynamisch, jong team. We werken echt hard, maar wel met veel lol. Volgens mij is dat de perfecte combinatie. Om het teamgevoel te stimuleren worden er zelfs bootcamptrainingen aangeboden. Het is direct na het werk en iedereen is vrij om deel te nemen. Het werkt uitstekend voor de conditie en de teambuilding. Even in een andere setting aan je doelen werken. Het is heerlijk om na een werkdag direct aan de slag te kunnen. Tot op de dag van vandaag, ben ik blij met mijn overstap naar Exterus.”
