Care & welfare - Mazars - Netherlands

Knowing what is going on within the sector

Not-for-profit organisations are faced with complex challenges in fiscal, legal and organisational areas that differ from those faced by the business sector. The government is increasingly withdrawing its rule, yet market forces and regulations do not always go hand in hand. Clients are demanding more transparency, directors and regulators are dealing with increasing professionalism, yet volunteers have to cope with the fiscal aspect of expenses payments.

Pooling top-quality knowledge

Specialist knowledge of the sector is key to being able to serve clients in this sector with pragmatic support and top-quality advice. Therefore Mazars has combined the practical knowledge of the various disciplines – accountants, tax advisers and lawyers – in the Care & welfare sector.
