Why VDW
Most companies outgrow their tax support long before they can justify a full-time hire.
Scale-ups moving into new markets. Mid-size companies with lean finance and tax teams. Multinationals needing senior interim coverage across EMEA. Finance managers who know they need better tax infrastructure but can't justify a Big 4 retainer. These are the companies we built VDW for.
You need someone who has already seen your situation — at scale, across jurisdictions, under real pressure. Someone who steps in, gets oriented fast, and gives you a clear answer. We also work with tax and finance teams on getting real value from AI — prompt libraries, smarter workflows, and the know-how to use it on actual tax work, not just in demos.
Our background spans tax leadership, transformation, and technology across EMEA — from ERP implementations (SAP, Oracle, Hyperion) and tax process redesign to group financial statements under IFRS, US GAAP, and Dutch GAAP.
Director-level from day one
Every engagement is led personally — 15+ years of in-house tax, finance, and technology experience across EMEA. No layers, no juniors, no handoffs.
Tax transformation & ERP
Process redesign, ERP go-live support, and tax technology implementation — we've led the tax workstream from the inside, not from a PowerPoint.
AI that actually works in tax
We help in-house tax teams get real, practical value from AI — prompt libraries, smarter workflows, and hands-on guidance built around actual tax work, not generic demos.
A select client roster
We take on a limited number of engagements at a time. When we're in, we're fully in.
