After a lengthy career in the Middle East where Paul Nombluez was responsible for the financial management of several hospitals, following many considerations, Paul decided to settle in Thailand together with his family.
While probing the local market for opportunities, he encountered many foreign-owned or managed companies experiencing communication difficulties with their financial department as well as the former’s unfamiliarity with the Thai Revenue Code and the plethora of forms required by the tax authorities. Considering there only alternatives available were to handover the financial management to a subsidiary of the “big 4” (PWC, KPMG, Ernst&Young or Deloitte), in reality, this alternative/solution was often not financially feasible to most small-to-medium sized businesses.
Therefore, in 1996, European Accountants Ltd was incorporated with the specific aim to provide accounting, tax compliance, business advisory and consulting services to foreign-owned/managed SMEs. With a diverse clientele of 30+, European Accountants Ltd has been able to provide personalized affordable multilingual (English, Dutch, French and Thai) services hitherto non-existent in the Thai market.
