'You can participate in corruption investigations or help organise the operation of financial institutions in such a way that it is difficult for criminals to abuse the financial system,' says Wendy Stuffers. 'Our goal is to create a fairer society. And we do this, for example, by advising our customers in their customer due diligence approach. As external advisors we can perform operational, tactical and strategic work in a period of just six months. My work really gives me a kick, there is speed but also going into detail. After a hard day's work, I come home full of energy.'

Uniquely, Deloitte has a dedicated Financial Crime Advisory team. The department has therefore built up a good reputation in the market and mainly works for large banks and insurance companies. 'The work content is incredibly interesting. Also because Deloitte does not just take on every assignment', Guido Penzhorn says. 'We are a commercial company, but our main concern is to create real impact. We want to make a difference, for our customers but also for society. I see myself as a problem solver. One minute I am flying to London for an emergency, the next I am explaining to the client what needs to be done to prevent fraud or money laundering.'

No two days are the same, but it is always about people management, Guido continues. 'We are consultants and we work with people. With the customer and with colleagues. To make more impact, we regularly join forces with other service lines such as Risk Advisory, Consultancy or BPS. And our team itself consists of various backgrounds, from work experience at banks to the Public Prosecution Service, the police and Interpol. I myself moved from South Africa to Amsterdam three years ago. At the time, I chose Deloitte not only because the work content is challenging, but mainly because the people are open and relaxed.' Wendy agrees: 'As far as I am concerned, Deloitte has one of the healthiest corporate cultures and that is because we are open and honest with each other. You can really be yourself here. However, it is important that you don't take yourself too seriously', she laughs.

As an employer, Deloitte understands what is important, Wendy says. 'We are very aware that people are the most important part of the organisation. Our expertise is what the office sells and so we are very well looked after. Deloitte wants to attract the best people and also motivate and support them to be the best.' Guido adds: 'All companies are taking measures during the pandemic, but Deloitte also really keeps an eye on whether we are doing well. There are many initiatives to support us during the time we juggle home and our working life. There is a contribution for babysitters during the day and the coffee that we now miss at the office, is being compensated. Totally unnecessary of course, but it is a nice thought. And during the beautiful winter weather, we all got three hours off to go ice skating. Simply because it is fun to do and Deloitte wants us to enjoy it.'
