Working at Joore

My name is Marieke Haans, I am 23 years old and living in Tilburg. After finishing high school, I graduated for my bachelor  Business- and Consumer studies at Wageningen University. During my bachelor I discovered I was more interested in subjects as for example  business economics and mathematics than I expected.. During my bachelor, I moved to Amsterdam to study for a minor in Accountancy at the University of Amsterdam. For me, this was a confirmation to start the master Accountancy. Momentarily, I find myself in the graduating phase at Tilburg University, while working 2 to 3 days a week at Joore. In September I will continue with the Post Master Accountancy. Other than studying and working, I like to play hockey, have a drink or go to dinner with family and friends.

In February 2017 I started my master in Accountancy. Usually the lectures are scheduled on two weekdays which creates the possibility of gaining work experience next to your master. – In March 2017 I started working for Joore as a working student assistant-accountant , and I definitely do not regret the decision. Joore especially appealed to me because it characterizes itself as a young, ambitious organization with an  open and personal approach. Moreover, I thought it was important to choose for an office with a good vibe and a firm I felt comfortable with.

The major advantage of working at Joore is the intensive collaboration with colleagues, both chartered- and assistant-accountants and tax specialists. I have experienced that we can learn a lot from each other.  In contrast to other small accounting firms, we serve many audit clients. Moreover, I have the chance to develop myself internationally. Joore co-operates intensively with a Romanian accounting firm. Many of our clients are internationally oriented as well.

Joore is very flexible about the number of hours I can and want to work. It is completely fine to work only one day or not at all during my exams, and usually three days during other weeks.

When I started working at Joore, the focus was on compilation work. . I have experienced that learning how to book and compile an administration is a solid base for further growth.  After a short while I started visiting clients, for both auditing and compilation assignments within a team. Nowadays, I generally work for a client for several days and I work as a full-fledged team member in various assignments.

Joore is very flexible about the number of hours I can and want to work. It is completely fine to work only one day or not at all during my exams, and usually three days during other weeks. I also appreciate the monthly evaluation about my progress. This allows me to discuss personal and business related topics with my direct colleagues.
