I'm Arthur Dekeyser, founder of Novalar Consult and Independent Finance Consultant for Flattery Salomon / US Steuerberatung. I specialize in cross-border finance and tax for European companies operating in, or expanding to, the United States. I work hands-on with startups, scale-ups and mid-sized businesses on the things that actually make or break an international setup: US GAAP accounting, multi-state tax nexus analysis, payroll and benefits administration, Accounting/ERP migrations, intercompany reconciliations, and sales tax compliance.
This isn't theoretical knowledge. Before consulting, I built the entire North American finance operation for ShowTex as Finance Manager — chart of accounts, reporting structures, payroll, tax compliance, all of it, from the ground up. I've also founded and exited a startup myself, so I understand what it's like on the other side of the table when cash flow is tight and every financial decision matters.
But not every client I work with is crossing the Atlantic. I also support EU-based companies with strategic accounting services (year-end closing, audit preparation, financial review, and advisory on structuring their finance function).
My approach is straightforward: cut through the complexity, give you a clear picture of where you stand, and deliver actionable insights that drive real business decisions. No jargon for the sake of jargon, no overcomplicating what can be simple.
If you're a European founder or CFO figuring out the US side of your business — or if you just need a sharp finance consultant who gets both worlds — book a session. Let's talk.
