Rienk Kamphuis helps organizations optimize their tax departments through smarter processes and new technologies, such as RPA, blockchain and artificial intelligence.
He studied tax law at Maastricht University and has worked at EY since 2004, including several years at the Dutch Desk in New York. Before that, ran an IT start-up for four years.
“A transformation of this type is quite drastic for tax departments, so it makes sense that they have lots of questions. How do we get an overview of all these processes? How do we implement new technologies? And which people should we train or hire? We help prioritize and establish an approach, but also teach them to think differently, in a more structured way.”
How Rienk is building a better working world
“Energy, that's what I think is important to bring to the client. Change isn't easy, not for anyone. You notice that people are sometimes hesitant at first, and particularly in those situations, my goal is to make them enthusiastic about taking new steps and improving processes. And if I can do that, it makes me love my job even more.”
