No more fluff – with my accountant at CK, we get straight to the point!
Philip Bæk Christiansen
Philip Bæk Christiansen is a finance professional and CEO of two investment funds, and recently he has also become a lecturer in finance at CBS. As someone who has complete control over his business, he also knows exactly what he does not have control over – and that is precisely what he was looking for in his accountant: someone who gets straight to the point.
“No more fluff – with my accountant at CK, we get straight to the point!”
This is how Philip describes his collaboration with CK, where he has had Mads Kokholm as his accountant for the past five years. After several years with one of the large auditing firms, he chose to switch – a decision he has not regretted.
“I’ve previously worked with some of the largest auditing firms, and I know what it’s like when the big guns are brought in. But what I’ve experienced at CK, and especially with Mads, is something completely different – and much better for me. Here, we get straight to the point. No fluff. Just honest collaboration and good communication,” says Philip.
He especially highlights the sense of security and accessibility he experiences in his collaboration with Mads:
“Mads is always reachable – I most often get a response the same day, and he supports me throughout the entire accounting process. That creates a tremendous sense of security and peace of mind – both for me and for my family.”
In addition, Philip greatly values the close sparring and the collaborative relationship built on equal footing:
“Yes, we have a client relationship, but it feels much more like a collaboration. Mads understands my companies, my needs, and my challenges – and we have a really good back-and-forth. I find him to be proactive, and he has helped me with everything from day-to-day financial reporting to tax-related challenges and special situations where things needed to be resolved quickly and efficiently.”
A concrete example was when a new property management system caused problems and unintended withdrawals from the tax account – in that situation, Mads quickly got involved and helped create clarity and restore calm.
“With CK – and Mads leading the way – everything just runs smoothly. We get a lot of value for the money – it’s efficient, competent, and personal. That’s exactly why I’ve also recommended CK to the rest of my family, who are now clients as well.”
