The firm

JOUHAR EXPERTISE BUREAU has been registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce since 17 April 2021 (KVK 82552754). The first office opened in Soest in 2022 (Oostergracht 42, 3763 LZ Soest); the second followed in Amsterdam in 2025 (Hildegard von Bingenstraat 44, 1081 LH Amsterdam). The firm is organised around six service lines with thirteen areas of expertise and serves businesses and private clients in Dutch, English and Arabic. Offices in Utrecht, Hilversum and Almere Stad are being prepared.

Our mission

Turning complexity into direction: that is what JOUHAR EXPERTISE BUREAU was founded for. Six service lines under one roof, so that one firm covers your accounting, tax, financing and translation needs.

Our vision

Figures should give direction: reliable, on time and clearly explained, so that you decide with confidence.

What we encounter in practice

These are the situations businesses and private clients bring to us, and how we handle them across our six service lines.

Start-ups and freelancers

Records that are right from the first invoice: legal form, VAT returns, income tax and a way of working that grows with the business.

Switching bookkeeper

Transfer of the records, a check of the opening balance and of the outstanding returns, without putting a single deadline at risk.

Growing companies and BVs

Periodic reports, annual accounts, corporate income tax and director-shareholder remuneration, so that management, shareholders and the bank steer on the same figures.

Financing

A substantiated financing plan and a complete application file for banks and alternative lenders, with guidance up to and including the assessment of the offers.

The Tax Administration

Returns filed on time, assessments checked and, where needed, objections, extensions or a payment arrangement; we act on your behalf as authorised representative.

Multilingual clients

Translation of official documents and business papers between Dutch, English and Arabic, and advisory meetings in the client's own language.

What we stay sharp on every day

Accounting and tax are work with deadlines, rules and details. We have built our way of working around these challenges.

  1. Keeping track of deadlines

    VAT, payroll taxes, income tax and corporate income tax each have their own calendar. We monitor every deadline per client and request an extension in time where necessary.

  2. Rules that change

    Tax legislation and schemes change regularly. We keep up with the changes and translate them into the consequences for your situation, before a return or decision is due.

  3. Digitalisation and integrations

    Bank feeds, digitally submitted receipts and the software we work with: we set up the records so that data is entered once and then flows correctly into returns and reports.

  4. Three languages, one meaning

    Tax and legal terms do not always have a direct translation. We explain what a term means in your situation, in Dutch, English or Arabic.

  5. Growing without compromise

    With new offices in preparation, we hold on to the same way of working: a fixed contact person, strictly by appointment and the same checks on every file.

Our approach

We work exclusively by appointment, digitally where possible and in person where it matters. Every client has a fixed contact person at the Soest or Amsterdam office who knows the file and monitors the deadlines.

Multilingual services

In a diverse society, language is not an afterthought. We serve our clients in Dutch, English and Arabic, so that nuances are not lost and you feel fully understood. This applies to all our services, from advisory meetings to document translation.

Our team

A team with thirteen areas of expertise, spread across two offices and organised around the six service lines. Professional titles and registrations are only mentioned once they have been confirmed.

Our team

How a collaboration starts

From introduction to the handover of your administration: four steps, no surprises.

  1. Introductory call

    By phone, up to 30 minutes and free of charge: your situation, your question and the possible approach.

  2. Intake and quote

    We map your legal form, size and software. You receive a quote within two working days; we start after your approval.

  3. Handover

    We contact your previous bookkeeper, transfer or set up the administration, and check the opening balance and any outstanding returns.

  4. Fixed contact person

    You know who knows your file. You receive periodic reports and we review your figures and tax position with you every year.

Our values

Four principles that return in every engagement.

Precision

Accuracy in every detail. We leave nothing to chance and deliver work you can rely on.

Integrity

Honesty and transparency form the basis of every relationship. We always act in your best interest.

Clarity

We make complex matters understandable and accessible, so you can always make well-informed decisions.
