Quality Prevails

While time is of the essence

Audit, accounting, and consultancy

"HaVen distinguishes itself from other firms in the Dutch Caribbean"

By choosing highly skilled people with a lot of experience, working in small teams with profound director involvement, and offering short lines of communication. In building our workforce, we always maintain a certain amount of additional capacity. This provides room for growth for our staff and flexibility in servicing our clients timely throughout the year.

Customer reviews

I am genuinely impressed by Team HaVen's professionalism and friendliness. They take time to explain everything clearly and patiently, making complex matters easy to understand—even for someone without a background in accounting. Thanks to their guidance, I feel confident moving forward to the next stage.

Laurie Lammerse

Treasurer of Dawn Beach Estates

Switching auditor can be challenging, but the fresh perspective and problem solving skills that Erik brought as our new accountant was worth the transition. I value him for his thorough and hands-on approach and his ever-willingness to swiftly put words into action.

Ton van Kooten

CFO Port Sint Maarten Group of Companies

I started working with Erik as my auditor, but he soon became a trusted advisor and coach on financial and governance related issues. He is knowledgeable, reliable, and always available during and after office hours. Erik is always willing to listen and presents tailor-made solutions for our organization. I can highly recommend him as an all-round financial professional.
