Customer experiences

Habermehl has been my tax consultant for 10 years. I value good service, quick responses to questions or requests and that's great. Discussions are based on content and we always come to a conclusion. Very pleasant cooperation!

'Correct, fast, clear and fine advice.'

I contacted Habermehl and one day later I was called back immediately. Good conversation, went through everything, lots of knowledgeable information. After a nice conversation at the office in Hilversum my declaration was handled very quickly and adequately. The mail exchange was excellent. I could ask all the questions I wanted to. Moreover, there was clear communication about the costs.

Good in-house knowledge so that all questions are answered quickly and well. The service I have chosen actually takes work off my hands. That leaves me free to do things that make money.

I have been a Habermehl customer since 2005. In all these years I have always experienced friendliness, empathy, peace of mind and great expertise. Habermehl is a very reliable partner for me.

During the first meeting I immediately received a lot of professional advice. Habermehl gives me a familiar feeling and I don't have to worry about any administrative issues anymore.

I have worked with Habermehl since I started working abroad in 2009. At all times I have found reassurance and confidence for my international tax matters to be well taken care of.

Previously I was a client of a large accounting firm that did not do a good job. Habermehl helped me well, personally and quickly. They took care of the administration and tax returns for my private limited companies. And the settlement of an estate. Their tax advice is very valuable.
