Financial Coach

The Financial Coach launched!

As a contract player, you can earn a good living at a young age, especially in the Eredivisie. However, it is important that you manage your money wisely during this period. To help you with that, the VVCS has a special service: The Financial Coach. The coach supports you with all your questions about your personal finances. This is done confidentially and in peace and quiet with the sole purpose of helping you manage your finances the way you want. So that after your career you are left with a nice financial basis for the future.

Ben-Ivar Kolster is the financial coach. In his 15 years as director of the CFC, he has learnt the opportunities and pitfalls of the contract player like no other. Ben-Ivar has extensive knowledge of topics that concern contract players such as investments, the stock market, taxes, financial risks and pensions. He also works with a network of specialists for complex topics. As a VVCS member, you can use the coach’s services for two-and-a-half hours at no cost.

Ben-Ivar: ‘My contention is that it is best to stay in control. It may take a bit more time, but the grip on your money matters it gives you will give you a lot of peace of mind. If you need help with that, you can contact me. You can approach me with all your questions about your financial affairs. For example, about saving or borrowing, investing, real estate, the possibilities of your CFC fund and what to do when you get married (or divorced). You can ask me a short question or, for example, request a second opinion on a particular investment you are interested in. I can also give you more insight into your overall financial situation by putting everything in order with you. As a Financial Coach, I am happy to share my knowledge with you!’

Ben-Ivar can be reached directly by email Financielecoach@vvcs.nl or through the VVCS office.
