My Dutch adviser keeps pushing for better cash labels. Is that really worth the effort for a small LLC?
I live in Amsterdam and my U.S. LLC only makes around $55,000 a year from consulting. Even so, my Dutch adviser keeps insisting that every owner payment, reimbursement, and withdrawal be labeled precisely. My U.S. preparer is less worried as long as the ledger is basically right.
I want to know whether this is a real Netherlands issue or just a stylistic difference between advisers.
