Egon Prouw, de Partner

Personal quote / vision

I have a hands-on mentality and enjoy helping people move forward. For my clients I am not only an auditor, but also a source of questions and a sounding board. I also keep them informed of relevant developments in laws and regulations, so they are always aware of opportunities and risks. I also think along with the user of the financial statements. How do they get the most insight into the organization's figures and how do financial statements become easy to read?
