Professional support
Professional support
Lubbers, Boer & Douma serves as a sounding board for tax advisors, lawyers, and corporate tax specialists who require additional expertise and experience to clarify and resolve complex tax issues. Upon request, we also assess the tax expertise of (prospective) employees, for instance in internal promotions or recruitment processes.
We provide our clients with substantive analyses, develop solution strategies, present arguments, and provide feedback on letters to the tax authorities or on procedural documents. In specific cases, we write documents (related to legal proceedings) upon request and participate in client meetings and discussions with the tax Authorities.
We provide our clients with comfort and ensure that they can deliver added value to their clients with an optimal solution strategy, compelling arguments, and well-prepared (legal) documents.
We serve as a silent force in the background. We expressly offer our services while preserving existing (advisory) relationships: we do not take clients from our clients.
Professional support provided to a tax consultancy firm
How Lubbers, Boer & Douma became an attractive alternative to an in-house knowledge center
We were first approached in 2016 when a tax consultancy firm asked whether we could provide professional support services. The firm had a need for targeted professional support for their tax consultants. In Lubbers, Boer & Douma the firm found a flexible alternative for a knowledge center, which could be called upon for a fixed number of hours a month when professional support is needed in complex cases. This way professional support can be relied upon when needed, without having to set up an entire knowledge center: quick and dependable access to quality that can make a difference!
Today we have a similar professional support arrangement with a number of tax consultancy firms. For example, we participate in technical meetings, act as a sounding board in substantive and strategic discussions. Furthermore, we offer assistance in complicated cases and proceedings by providing our expert input to reach solutions for clients. On request, we can participate in meetings with the tax authorities.
