Every day we relieve entrepreneurs of the financial-administrative burden and create the right insights to develop
VGD accountants take care of your administration, provide the right financial insights and look after overall
compliance with relevant laws and regulations so that you can focus on your business. By working together
with VGD accountants, you strengthen your management team with specialist advisors in various fields
whenever needed.
You can take better decisions with the right insightsWithout reliable, carefully controlled and accurately reported figures, every business is at risk. For that
reason VGD accountants offer a comprehensive range of services.
Knowhow yielding immediate return Many companies forego profits because of a lack of information. Knowing how to limit the cost of your
loans, what the optimal financing structure is, how you can structure the company better from a tax point
of view is worth its weight in gold. VGD accountants can call upon in-house specialists in each of these
areas. This allows us to fully prepare and defend your filings with the banks, prospective investors, tax
authorities and other stakeholders. The knowledge we provide translates into direct return.
Holding tabs of the latest regulations and legislation Bringing transparency to the complexity of regulations and legislation simplifies doing business. Our
staff ensure that you are in compliance with the law and can optimally benefit from the opportunities
that the legislation is offering.
