André Scheirlinck Register Valuator / Partner

Successful entrepreneurs and family businesses see opportunities that others do not. I find their vision, boldness and boundless experience inspiring. The dynamics of this emerge in every moment of the entrepreneurial journey and continue to inspire me every day. In every financial strategic issue, you are challenged to use your knowledge and expertise to provide entrepreneurs and family businesses with the best advice. In this way, we are the enquirer, guide and extension of the entrepreneur who brings peace of mind, relieves and pulls intensively with our clients throughout the entrepreneurial journey. We apply the right type of services so that our clients get the most out of entrepreneurship. Creativity in creating solutions, innovation and technology go hand in hand with us. This is where Guidon and its specialties fit in very well. So that our entrepreneurs and family businesses can get back to what they do best: business!

Since 2008, André Scheirlinck has been involved in dozens of succession issues, sale, purchase and merger transactions, financings, valuations and financial-economic advisory processes in a variety of industries. André is an RV and a member of the Dutch Institute of Registered Valuators (NIRV).

Angel Kurvink Junior Consultant

During my master's and side job, I discovered the world of finance and quickly noticed that the profession goes far beyond numbers alone. It is precisely the combination of dynamics, complexity and strategic thinking that appeals to me. I like working in an environment where I can continue to learn and be challenged.

What makes my work extra fun is the variety. No client or issue is the same and every situation requires its own approach. That variety ensures that no day is predictable and that makes the work interesting for me.

Annet de Vries-de Kleine HR consultant and payroll administrator

As a payroll and HR specialist, I really want to know my client and their business. After all, human resources consulting is all about people. In a personal contact I switch quickly and am at my best. Enthusiastic as I am, I like to get down to business. Yes, doing a good job goes a lot further for me than just payroll processing. It's great when a customer can be fully engaged in his business.

Barbara Braam Marketeer

January 2024 I started as a marketer at the Guidon Group. The interesting thing about marketing and communication at the Guidon Group is that each label within the group, Actan, Sophista and Twine, has its own proposition and at the same time complement each other beautifully.

For me, the challenge lies mainly in giving each label its own identity and also showing the outside world the cohesion between the labels and how they reinforce each other. The added value of having so much knowledge in house is, I think, a real added value for our customers.

Bart van Schooten Relationship Manager

I enjoy making money flows transparent. In my private life I am involved in a number of associations and foundations, for which I also automatically took on the role of treasurer. For an entrepreneur it is conditional to have a good insight into the financial figures. It is the information to really be able to steer well and make good decisions. Without that insight, even as an entrepreneur, you're basically directionless.

Bianca van Duijker-Sprangers Payroll Coordinator

I have fun solving calculations. Moreover, I like openness and clarity; the story must be right. This combination is reflected in my work as a consultant and payroll processor. On the one hand, I am keen to process payroll on time and according to requirements. On the other hand, I want to be able to explain an issue to an entrepreneur in such a way that instead of questions there are only answers.

Corstiaan van Schothorst Declaration Officer

Alongside my studies in Fiscal Economics and Law, I joined the Guidon Group in the tax department in mid-2024.

I really enjoy having the combination of study and practice and benefit from this in both places. The nice thing about my work is the diversity, from tax returns to advisory questions to drafting agreements. I can develop enormously here into a good tax specialist.

Daan Kalb Senior Assistent Accountant

It used to be my dream to buy a toy store. Now I am working in the accounting profession to help people achieve their businesses and dreams. I have always admired the way businesses have been set up and grown into large organizations. In the accounting industry, I enjoy working with numbers and people to create good financial statements. A quality end product and the varied work is what makes the job fun for me.

Dave Nijhuis Senior Analist Corporate Finance

Behind every business is a unique story, shaped by years of choices, ambitions and perseverance. The sale of a business is therefore a moment that matters. For many entrepreneurs, it marks the conclusion of their life's work and a defining turning point in their lives.

To be able to provide added value as an advisor at such an important time, combining keen financial and strategic advice with a good understanding of the business and the market, is something I find special and meaningful. In addition, the diversity in people, sectors and issues makes this work very versatile and challenging.

Duaa Al-jaradat Assistant Accountant

I work as an assistant accountant and have a background in accounting and financial administration. I grew up in a family of accountants in Damascus, where I learned the importance of accuracy and structure at an early age. Numbers mean a lot to me, they provide clarity and a structured way of working.

I enjoy analyzing data, solving financial issues and contributing to smooth administrative processes. I always strive for professional growth and a balance between quality and efficiency in everything I do.

Esmee Bruggeman Assistant Accountant

After working in retail for seven years, I decided to change course. A new industry, a new job and a new study. I'm glad I made the choice to join the Guidon Group in the audit department. Because I study accountancy part-time, I can immediately apply the material in practice. I notice that I learn a lot and can develop personally.

What I like most about the audit department is the contact with the clients. Because the Guidon Group has clients from all kinds of industries, the work remains varied.

Esmee Visser Assistant Accountant

As an assistant accountant, I embrace the world of numbers on a daily basis, but my work goes beyond numbers. Working with both colleagues and clients is also a big part of my role. My social side is often noticed, and that has only strengthened my choice to study accountancy. I get excited by the challenges in my work and strive to tackle them in a good way. It gives me satisfaction when I find that my efforts have actually helped others. Whether it's providing clear financial insights to a client or supporting a colleague on a challenging project. All of this makes me go to work with a smile.

Floris van den Berg Analist Corporate Finance

I have great admiration for the drive of entrepreneurs and find it rewarding to support them with financial and strategic issues so they can continue doing what they do best. Advising entrepreneurs active in various sectors means that my assignments are very diverse.

I also find it fascinating to gain a deep understanding of a company in order to add value during the acquisition process.

Giarno Beelen Assistant Accountant

Since childhood, I have loved working with numbers. Math and economics were the subjects I was most interested in. This led me to eventually enter the "accountancy world. As an assistant accountant, I prepare financial statements for different types of companies. Each company has a different vision of doing business and this is reflected in the accounts. To finally complete the financial statements correctly gives me a very satisfied feeling in the work I do.

Hanneke van den Bos Manager of Accounting Department & Accountant

What makes the work so interesting to me is the amount of different types of work I do. Every day I speak to diverse types of clients from very different types of businesses. Always with the goal of helping clients move forward. Both in the area of efficiently setting up and running the administration and complying with legal obligations around financial statements, as well as broad advice in all sorts of areas. Especially helping and cooperating with clients gives me a lot of energy and ensures that I can get the best out of myself at work.

Hilly de Groot-Speelmans Management Assistent

Within Guidon I fulfill a broad and dynamic role in which I support the management and my colleagues on a daily basis. I enjoy making sure that processes run smoothly, I keep the overview and colleagues can count on accurate and committed support. I ensure a smooth secretariat and contribute to a variety of organizational and communicative activities. This way I combine organizing, coordinating and thinking along in one function in which my qualities are fully appreciated.

Hugo Kieft Assistant Accountant

In 2023, I successfully completed my graduate internship at the Guidon group. I was very enthusiastic about the Guidon group because the colleagues always provide a friendly atmosphere and you get a lot of responsibility, even when you are just starting out. For these reasons, I wanted to stay with the Guidon group and started as a junior assistant accountant in the audit department.

Igor Mikic Control Manager

Contact with entrepreneurs inspires me because their guts offer insights beyond my own role as audit manager. My strength is building bridges between the audit team and the client so that the audit proceeds correctly, smoothly and successfully. Pragmatic cooperation and fast switching give me energy. My day is successful when everyone leaves with a smile and goes home energized.

Jade Verduin HR Advisor

As an HR consultant at Guidon Group, I combine creativity with a process-oriented approach to support employees and optimize HR processes. Just as every client has their entrepreneurial journey, we want to offer the same guidance and "guiding" to our employees. What makes someone sit in place or grow? In my work, I combine personal attention and policy-based process improvements. . This combination energizes me and I hope it inspires and energizes others as well.

Jessica Verdel-van Eenennaam Partner

My work as a tax consultant is enormously varied: from assisting clients in starting their entrepreneurial activities to a business transfer. I enjoy being a sparring partner, holding up a mirror to my clients and assisting them during their entrepreneurship. Especially during special "events" in the life of an entrepreneur, my project-based work style and organizational skills come into their own. Unburdening the client is where I get my energy from.

Jessie Bakker Recruiter & Employerbrander

As Recruiter & Employerbrander at Guidon, I focus on attracting the right people as well as telling our story as an employer. I believe that the strength of an organization starts with the people who work there. For me, a good match goes beyond just work experience or education; it's about the click with the people, the culture and the direction in which we are moving as an organization.

In addition to Recruitment & Employer Branding, I also deal with acquisition and various HR work. This variety makes my role versatile and challenging. No two days are the same, and it is this dynamism that makes me enjoy working every day.

Joas ten Klooster Junior Consultant

After completing my graduate thesis at the Guidon, I knew this was where I wanted to start my career and started working as a junior consultant. What appeals to me about this role is the mix between analytical work and client contact. By thinking with the client and giving practical advice, sustainable results can be achieved. Actually being able to help, support and relieve customers is therefore what gives me energy.

Joke Ruijters Relationship Manager

Previously I worked at a large accounting firm, but I found the distance to the client too great. Here I can really provide a total package of services for my clients. You take care of the bookkeeping, compile the annual accounts and are really a point of contact. By being helpful in taking administrative tasks off their hands, you can really be important to the clients. That's very nice to know.

Jolanda Brouwer Assistant Accountant

I joined Guidon Group in December as an Assistant Accountant. After years of working in the corporate world, I was ready for a new challenge.
Here I came into a warm bath with varied work and nice colleagues.

What appeals to me so much about this position is that you help the customers by doing work that I enjoy doing. I relieve them by taking care of their administration for them, so they don't have to worry about it. It is varied and I learn a lot.
I feel that I contribute to our clients' business operations as well as those of the Guidon Group. The combination of all these factors makes that I enjoy going to work every time.

Joost van den Bos Projectleider & BI-adviseur

In a world where more and more data is being collected, it is more important than ever to keep a good overview of this and to make the most of the value of the data. I strive to support our clients as much as possible in the process of using data as a tool to gain insight, find trends and create success. I do this with attention to our client's situation and a commitment to innovative solutions.

Koen Brocken Of counsel

Recent years have taught me that I most enjoy helping people make choices. These are often in tax, financial or personal areas. How to make the trade-offs? What are consequences of the alternatives? How do you see the future? Such issues come up. It is nice to give the client insight and to see that making an informed choice is a relief. After this, he or she can move forward again.

Koen Hoedjes Assistant Accountant

Subjects such as economics and management & organization have always interested me. That's also why my choice was to study Accountancy. As an assistant accountant, I work with a team to audit a client's financial statements. Every client is different and every company requires a different insight. This makes my job very varied. Talking to the client together and looking at the small details in the accounts is where my knowledge and skills come into their own.

Lorenz Harinck Assistant Accountant

Ever since I was a child, I have enjoyed working with numbers. I was always good at mathematics and therefore helped others who found it more difficult. In high school I chose an extra package so that I also had accounting and business as subjects. Eventually the interest in these subjects led me to choose Finance & Control, so that I can help people with their administration or give advice on the continuity of their business.

Luc Bart Consultant Corporate Finance

From an early age, I have learned what it takes for entrepreneurs to run a business as well as possible, to realize growth, to take full advantage of opportunities, but also what it is like to hand over the baton. The enormous diversity of these complex issues and guiding and advising the entrepreneur in them, makes the merger and acquisition process so challenging and interesting.

Maaike Charbon Compliance Management Assistent

I enjoy working as a Compliance Management Assistant. My responsibilities are in two different areas making it a very interesting and versatile position.

Within the accountancy department, I support my colleagues to the best of my ability by ensuring proper planning and performing various secretarial duties.

In addition, I am committed to the field of compliance. In this role I ensure that the internal processes and quality guidelines are well organized and that everyone within Guidon is aware of the applicable laws and regulations. In short, a very fun job that gives me a lot of energy!

Maarten van Duijn Partner

My curiosity, which started as a child when I opened every drawer to see what was inside, I use for entrepreneurs to quickly see what is really going on. I am a partner at Guidon and I am there when you need me. Entrepreneurship is not 9 to 5, it's always on. That's why I slide in when you app: "Can you take a look?"

What drives me is the person behind the numbers. We rarely just talk about results. Often it's about your team, your software, your financing or your next step. Those conversations create the breadth of our role: from financial compass to sparring partner. Trust makes all the difference.

Because I work with clients for a long time, I recognize patterns. Sometimes I can already see which way a choice is going to go before you express it. That gives me room to think along at an early stage, to have options ready and to anticipate problems. With technology where it makes sense, and always in understandable language.

At Guidon, we know our clients so well that we know who can help each other. I connect you with entrepreneurs at the same stage. Such a conversation often yields more than just one piece of advice. The result: peace, overview and confidence to take big steps. We are here for you every step of the way.

Marc Baartman Consultant Corporate Finance

A driven entrepreneur with passion for his business, active in any industry, excites me. I want to see as much of the company as possible in order to understand it and form a good picture of the value drivers and what makes it unique. With my knowledge, insight into numbers, broad interest and helpful nature, I hope to provide the entrepreneur with appropriate advice to achieve success together. The versatility of the work, diversity of projects and the driven entrepreneur makes the field interesting.

Marcella Wilbie-Kimman Assistant Accountant

After working in the corporate world for almost 20 years, it was time to look around for a new challenge. I now work partly at Actan Online, where we take care of clients' administrations, and I rotate in the compilation of financial statements. Compared to my previous employers, the work at the Guidon Group is much more varied. I am always working with different clients, and besides that there is also plenty of room to learn and develop myself further.

Melchior Scholtmeijer Tax Student Employee

I get energy from clarifying complex tax issues and thinking along with entrepreneurs. During my studies in Fiscal Economics I am constantly working on my professional development, which I immediately apply in practice.

Every client request is an opportunity for me to grow and become better at my job. It gives me satisfaction when a client can move forward with confidence based on my advice.

Nick Ursem Manager Corporate Finance

Coming from a true entrepreneurial family, I have experienced both the good and bad sides of entrepreneurship up close. I have always admired the passion, mentality and perseverance of entrepreneurs. Helping entrepreneurs with strategic issues such as further growth through an acquisition or selling the company are very challenging for me. I like to use my knowledge and experience in the field of mergers and acquisitions and my down-to-earth mentality to add value for our clients.

Nicolette Romeijn-Oosterwijk Fiscal Assistant

From the barber's chair to the office, and now as a fiscal assistant at Guidon, each step I took consciously.

After 17 years as a hairdresser, including 12.5 years as an independent contractor, I made the switch to office life as a management assistant. At Guidon, I was then given the opportunity to advance to tax assistant. An opportunity I seized with both hands.

Today, I combine diligence with service. I monitor deadlines, prepare returns and statements, and coordinate with colleagues and clients to keep processes running smoothly. My approach is personal, efficient and reliable. I think along with you, take work off your hands and make sure that everything is arranged down to the last detail so that you can have peace of mind and an overview.

Pauline Pipping-van der Storm Partner

The tax profession is a big puzzle. Aligning the interests of the entrepreneur and his company, within the framework of the legislation and with an eye for the interests of the other stakeholders. In which, as a rule, the tax aspect does not come first. Unburdening the persons at the kitchen table, to the entrepreneur at the board table. That is what I like to help my clients with!

Pieter van den Berg Partner

Acquisition is a profession of its own, which has had my extraordinary interest since my college days. Every acquisition process is different and this versatility appeals to me. The establishment of a company truly specialized in acquisitions was therefore the fulfillment of a long-cherished wish. Having run, bought and sold a company myself for many years, I also know how it 'feels' to buy and sell a company. I understand the dilemmas and emotions an entrepreneur struggles with and how to deal with them. Completing transactions successfully with an optimal result for our client, based on mutual trust, that is my great passion.

Rody Kottmann Assistant Accountant

I have been working at the Guidon Group since October 2022. I am very happy to have made the switch from accounts payable to Actan Online and the compilation department. The diversity of the profession is what I like the most. When I see an administration where many things need to be done, I see a challenge that I like to take on. My perseverance is one of my best qualities. When I start something, I want to finish it as well and as quickly as possible! And once I have succeeded, I have a sense of satisfaction that I have done my job well.

Rolf Blom Financial Controller

Being helpful and guiding are the main tasks of a guide. My colleagues do this for our customers, but I put the focus on the internal organization. And in doing so, I am therefore a guide for my colleagues. I ensure the accuracy, correctness and timeliness of the steering information needed to support our customers and run our own business in the best possible way.

Saumieya Thayalan Junior Assistent Accountant

My name is Saumieya Thayalan and I will be working at the Guidon Group as a Junior Assistant Accountant from summer 2024.

I ended up here because I wanted to gain practical experience in addition to my studies. I am currently in my final year of the Accountancy course at Inholland University of Applied Sciences.

What attracted me to the Guidon Group is the focus on personal and professional growth and the pleasant atmosphere in the office.

Syske van Denzen Manager Corporate Finance

No two days are the same. The frenzy and dynamics of mergers and acquisitions have always attracted me. In this complex and dynamic process, the client can expect us to provide them with expert advice in order to close the best possible deal. It is my ambition to steer this process in the right direction from beginning to end and to take all the worry out of the entrepreneur's hands. After all, besides a successful transaction, that is what the entrepreneur wants!

Thira Beerta-Goedhart Junior Payroll Administrator

What I really like about this work is the variety and different questions you can get. Also the team feeling that exists here makes the work fun. Everyone is open to questions and they are eager to help. I find that I can learn a lot from everyone, especially from my immediate colleagues in payroll.

I myself am very picky and punctual and this is an important point in payroll. A well-rounded day with variety makes me feel fulfilled and so far I can find that here in the office. The challenge for me right now is to master everything with the help of my close colleagues and training.

When I have been able to help a customer with all his questions and wishes, it gives a good feeling. The client can get on with his own business and in the background we take care of the rest.

Tim Surink Declaration Officer

'What I love about working in Guidon's tax department is how my work ties in with my studies. Putting into practice what I learn in my studies makes the work very interesting for me. And what I learn while working also helps me further with the coursework in my studies. The variety of my work also appeals to me: from preparing income tax and corporate tax returns to checking assessments and whether returns have been completed. Here at the Guidon Group, I feel I can develop into a real tax specialist.'

Tobias van den Nieuwendijk Analist Corporate Finance

What appeals to me about this field is that every company and every project is unique. Whether it involves a sale, an acquisition, or financing, every project requires a tailored approach. It was precisely this dynamic that drew me in from the very start of my studies and motivated me to delve deeper into this field and eventually gain hands-on experience. It energizes me to contribute to solutions that truly add value for the entrepreneur and his or her business.

Wouter Beijer Manager of Accounting Department & Accountant

In 2020, I made the transition from PwC to Actan Advisors & Accountants. At PwC, I gained experience in almost ten years of performing and leading audit engagements for clients in the private and public sector. I have a passion for advising (social) entrepreneurs to enable them to lift the organization to a higher level. I like honest and transparent conversations to really understand the motivations of my clients. In terms of audit assignments, I strive for a tightly structured process with no surprises in the tail. This lowers the stress of auditing your organization.

Yassir Rassir Manager & BI specialist / Controller

Entrepreneurship? Consulting? Auditing? Data analysis? Count me in! I get energy from the story behind the numbers and use my knowledge and experience to think solution-oriented. This allows me to always provide my clients with appropriate advice. The core of my work is auditing financial statements, but compiling financial statements, processing administrations, performing tax returns and data analysis are also part of my diverse range of duties. I am in accountancy because of the total picture: the numbers, the business process optimization, the automation and the social interaction.

Team Guidon.

We are here for you every step of the way.
