Rutger de Vries ensures that multinationals comply with their obligations in all the countries in which they operate. From the annual report to the tax declarations.
He studied post-bachelor's accountancy at Markus Verbeek Praehep and has worked at EY since 1996.
“Companies that are active in dozens of countries often lack an overview. We provide a broad, clear picture: what obligations do they have to meet in each country? We also help make the processes smarter, more efficient. The collaboration in that process is very important to me, and it works both ways. Both parties have to take steps, we and the customer. It's all about communication. Be realistic. Do what you promise. I see the entire process as a journey we take together, toward a better process.”
How Rutger is building a better working world
“I'm also Talent Leader of our team and love to see young colleagues evolve. I've worked at EY since I was eighteen and have seen the profession change tremendously. That creates both opportunities and threats, but the trick is to find a balance. Everything starts with being open.”
