Examples of the work.
Examples of the type of situations Arquatus supports, set out as situation, challenge, approach and outcome.
International business establishing operations in the Netherlands
- Situation
- An international entrepreneur needed to establish a Dutch company and organise the financial and administrative side correctly from the start.
- Challenge
- The company needed a Dutch accounting structure, VAT registrations, reporting processes and clear coordination between the Dutch entity and international activities.
- Approach
- Arquatus supported the setup of the financial administration, accounting processes, VAT compliance and ongoing reporting structure.
- Outcome
- The Dutch entity was able to operate with a clear financial structure and defined compliance processes from the beginning.
Growing company needing better financial reporting
- Situation
- A growing SME had reliable bookkeeping but limited management information.
- Challenge
- The directors could see annual numbers but did not have enough visibility into monthly profitability, cash movements or balance-sheet developments.
- Approach
- Arquatus introduced clearer monthly reporting and reviewed revenue, costs, profitability, cash position and key balance-sheet items with management.
- Outcome
- Management gained a clearer view of the company's financial position and could identify issues earlier.
Business moving from reactive bookkeeping to ongoing financial support
- Situation
- A Dutch BV had an external accountant handling filings and annual accounts, but financial questions were mainly addressed only when deadlines approached.
- Challenge
- The director wanted more regular involvement and practical financial guidance during the year.
- Approach
- Arquatus combined ongoing accounting and compliance with periodic financial reviews and practical advice around cash flow, costs, structure and reporting.
- Outcome
- The company moved to a more structured financial process with regular oversight rather than relying mainly on year-end reporting.
Arquatus was built for businesses that want their Dutch financial and tax side kept under control by someone who understands the company behind the numbers.
Clients have a clear point of contact and direct communication throughout the engagement.
