Question 1

Who do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Ambitious small and medium businesses in the Netherlands. In particular, Arabic-speaking founders who want senior operational, tax, and growth support from someone who understands both the Dutch system and their reality — and Dutch SMEs in food, agriculture, and sustainability.

Question 2

Are you an accountant or a bookkeeper?

Accepted Answer

Neither, exactly. I'm a fractional executive — I work at the level of a COO or CFO on operations, tax strategy, growth, and structure. I work alongside your bookkeeper or accountant, or help you find the right one.

Question 3

How does working together start?

Accepted Answer

Always with a free 30-minute intro call — a mutual fit check, no pitch. If it makes sense to go deeper, the usual next step is a paid Executive Diagnostic: 90 minutes plus a written assessment with your three priority fixes.

Question 4

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

The Executive Diagnostic is €450. Fractional engagements start from €2,500/month. Growth sprints and market-entry projects are scoped per project. Every price is agreed up front, in writing, before any work begins.

Question 5

Can you work in Arabic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Arabic is my native language, and I work fluently across Arabic, English, and Dutch business contexts. Much of my work is helping Arabic-speaking founders navigate the Dutch system with someone who speaks both worlds.

Question 6

Do I need to be based in Haarlem or Amsterdam?

Accepted Answer

No. I'm based in Haarlem and work across the Netherlands, in person and remotely. I also support Dutch businesses operating into MENA markets, and the reverse.

Question 7

Will you sign an NDA?

Accepted Answer

Gladly — send yours, or use mine. Everything you share is treated as strictly confidential, always.

Question 8

How is a fractional executive different from hiring full-time?

Accepted Answer

Same seniority, a fraction of the cost and commitment. You get experienced operating capacity for the months you actually need it — without the salary, equity, and risk of a permanent executive hire.
