The Bookie Borrel: your quarterly meeting with your accountant

M
Written by Mariangela De Lorenzo

The Bookie's recurring drinks events are both legendary and genuinely useful. Every quarter, your Bookies are available all day at the Jaarbeursplein in Utrecht, and we join forces as entrepreneurs.

Attend one or more workshops, catch up on overdue bookkeeping, and get your last questions answered about VAT or income tax. Then we toast the quarterly win with a drink!


What is the purpose of the Bookie Borrel?

We place great value on personal contact with our clients. That's why we organise a quarterly get-together where Bosses and Bookies can talk, brainstorm, and dream about their business in a relaxed setting. Got questions? Grab a drink and pull up a chair with your Bookies.


Reasons to come to a Bookie Borrel

  • A fixed quarterly moment to get your administration up to date.

  • Workshops for sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies — from starters to seasoned entrepreneurs.

  • Time to ask questions.

  • Sparring about your business with other Bookie Bosses.

  • Drinks at the Jaarbeursplein.

  • Flirting with your accountant in real life instead of over email.
