🏑 From Polkadots to Penalty Shots (and Planes)! 🏑 We’re not just spreading risk across Spain, the Netherlands, and Dubai – we’re also spreading cheer as proud sponsors of the Fletiomare Girls U12 hockey team (rocking their polka-dotted socks 🧦) and the Kampong Gents 1st Team (no polka dots, just goals!). 🎯 Oh, and if you spot the company logo on the Kampong shirts, that’s one of our very own concepts – part of the group! 🙌 You’ll see it in action starting this Sunday as Kampong faces off against Klein Zwitserland. 🏑 Currently cheering from Dubai (with sand between our toes), but catch us tomorrow flying off to Spain. 🌍✈️ Who says spreading risk and managing real estate can’t be a globe-trotting adventure? Our website? Still a “work-in-progress” (kinda like our jetlag recovery 😴), but between closing deals, boarding planes, and cheering from the sidelines, we’ll get there. Eventually. Until then, whether it’s real estate, risk management, or really good hockey, we’ve got you covered. And if you spot us at the games, come say hi – we’ll be the ones juggling phones, laptops, and pom-poms. 🖥️🎉 📢 By the way, Spain and Dubai are full of exciting opportunities right now – whether you’re investing in real estate or looking to minimize risk, there’s never been a better time to talk! #HockeySponsors #RealEstateAndRisk #PolkadotsAndPenaltyShots #DubaiToSpain #TooBusyWinning #OpportunitiesInSpain #OpportunitiesInDubai #Kampong

A CFO (Chief Financial Officer) is crucial for steering your company toward long-term success. They help manage risks, communicate with investors, and guide the company during growth phases and complex financial situations. Accountants, on the other hand, ensure your day-to-day finances are spot-on. From handling taxes to preparing financial statements, they keep everything compliant and provide valuable insights for your business decisions. Together, CFOs and accountants make a fantastic team. While the CFO handles big-picture strategies, the accountant ensures everything runs smoothly, creating a solid foundation for growth and stability.

𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚📢 : Ortec Finance announces the annual update of its in-house climate scenarios, developed in partnership with Cambridge Econometrics. The scenarios, now in their 10th edition, are designed to help investors translate the potential financial impact of climate change on investment portfolios. The 2024 update features the launch of an additional Delayed Net-Zero scenario and includes climate tipping points in its High Warming scenario. This update incorporates all major factors that are likely to impact the transition to net-zero including the latest policy and regulatory changes across all major jurisdictions, the fuel and commodity price hikes of 2022-2023 – key outcomes of the war in Ukraine – as well as the continued worldwide uptake of solar and other renewable energies.  The update also factors in the effects of the current El Niño event, which is expected to lower global GDP by 0.25% over the next two years and affect all asset classes. The update anticipates that El Niño will cause an increased number of extreme weather events and a temperature spike of 1.5°C in 2024. The Ortec Finance Climate Scenarios facilitate an increasingly realistic systematic examination of a range of plausible outcomes referenced against the currently deemed most likely trajectory that will see temperatures likely rise by 2°C to 3°C by 2100, known as the reference baseline. This enables investors to quantify key macroeconomic changes and assess impacts on asset class returns under different climate change futures. The full release and more information about the potential impacts to key macroeconomic variables such as GDP and asset class returns including standard equities in comparison to Paris-aligned equities under different futures can be found here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e3ddPvsB

Here’s why yearly security awareness training courses DON’T WORK. Meet Geertjan van der Meer, assistant accountant and responsible for IT at Priore Accountants & Belastingadviseurs 👋 Priore employees used to participate in a yearly security awareness course. In the short term, this helped to make them aware of current cyber threats. But after a few months, most of the information had slipped from their minds. At Guardey, we call this the forgetting curve. To replace the course and beat the forgetting curve, Geertjan looked for an ongoing training program that complied with the requirements of their cyber insurance at AIG. And that’s when he found Guardey. Geertjan: “We first tested Guardey with a small group of five colleagues. Everybody quickly agreed that it was the right fit for us and after three weeks, in the middle of February, we rolled it out within the organization. For organizations like ours, this is often a very busy period.” Even though Priore started using Guardey in a busy period, the participation was high from the jump. Geertjan: “80% of the organization immediately started actively engaging after the first introductory email. After a month or two, everybody apart from 1 or 2 people was using Guardey every week. This was all due to intrinsic motivation and understanding the importance of security awareness. There are no incentives like a monthly prize or anything, so we can still try that if participation happens to slow down.” Curious to learn more?

Today, I attended a session that made me realize I am not alone on this journey. At times, I struggle with feeling less confident when standing among a group of male professionals. Additionally, as a non-Dutch person, I’ve always felt the need to work 120% harder to gain recognition in a Western society, despite having spent over half my life living in one. Today, I learned that we often set the bar unrealistically and unnecessarily high. We discussed the importance of letting go of what we can’t control, embracing that uncertainty, and accepting that transitions can be challenging. Below is the translated text of Milena’s message. A room full of women... You don't often see that with the DACT - Dutch Association of Corporate Treasurers. Only 25% of DACT members are women, while the Nederlandse Associatie Physician Assistants (NAPA) is the other way around. Two completely different worlds in which I can move. Within DACT, we started the Women in Treasury Network two years ago, and this is greatly appreciated. Twice a year DACT organize interesting meetings, where the participants choose the topics themselves. Today DACT attended an inspiring workshop by Sheila Panchal (CPsychol): 'Elevate your strengths and develop personal branding.' The purpose of the network? Empowering women in finance. But based on the stories I've heard today, I'm convinced that female empowerment can also make a big difference in female-dominated sectors like healthcare.

Dear network, I am thrilled to announce that I’ve embarked on a new entrepreneurial journey in 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 & 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁! My mission is to help organizations across various industries find the right talent for key management positions to achieve their strategic objectives and enhance company culture. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵? The demand for exceptional leadership is higher than ever, especially in The Netherlands, where the talent pool is stretched thin. Companies face unique challenges: • A significant shortage of top-tier candidates, with demand far exceeding supply. • Often, recruiters may not have the specialized business and functional expertise required to fully grasp the unique needs of a company, which can make it hard to find the perfect candidates • Many companies still rely on passive job postings, rather than proactive talent search. • The struggle for less-visible companies to compete with high-profile multinationals for top talent. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗺𝗲? • I truly understand business needs, having worked across industries like MedTech & Healthcare, Automotive, Manufacturing, Logistics, Consultancy and more. • I understand the success factors of various roles, having worked in Product Management, Procurement, Sales, Business Development and Supply Chain myself. • I maintain a network of top professionals who are ready for new opportunities but aren’t actively job hunting. 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: I’m also excited to share that I’ve partnered with Eindhoven-based Habilis, a leader in executive search and interim management for over 25 years. Together, we bring a vast network, multi-industry expertise, proven search methods, and a team of experienced recruitment consultants to the table. 𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁! • I’m eager to engage with companies seeking top talent for impactful roles. • I’m also open to connecting with ambitious professionals looking for their next career step.
