Can anybody recommend an independent financial adviser?
There is Craigh Welsh on the Ask the Experts forum but can't find any other information - I don't know if this sort of service is widely available in Holland. I don't want one who is linked to a mortgage company - but totally independent who can give sound advice.
I also am looking for one. I've had some contact with some of the big accounting companies, who usually also offer financial advice: Ernst & Young, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, KPMG and Deloitte & Touche. They are a bit overkill for my small biz, but as an expat, I do think they have more resources for international issues.
Let them know if you contact them that you are *only* looking for financial advice -- either they are interested (and should be neutral), or they will let you know. In this economy, they may be more interested than they used to be.
