Independent Bookkeeper
As Voice4Thought’s accountant, Maartje forms a point of rest and responsibility in the Voice4Thought team, not only taking care of paperwork, but also partaking in the organisation’s planning and vision. After working long days in accountancy for years, she decided to change the course of her career. She re-schooled to become a cat behavior therapist and is currently learning to manage dog-behavior as well. In observing animal behavior, she learned to be sensitive to the different perspectives inside a room.
Maartje combines her professional expertise in finance with a commitment to social welfare. She holds a MVE diploma in administration, practical training in bookkeeping, and an HVE diploma in Modern Business Administration and Legal Secretaries. Her professional journey includes work at the Vereniging van Nederlandse Gemeenten and a law firm, where she gained experience in legal matters.
She sees Voice4tThought as an open, beautiful platform for marginal voices that she passionately contributes to. She’s also helping set up Voice4Thought’s Study Fund, combining her practical skills with her passion for helping people change the course of their lives.
