Guido van der Hoeven is the owner and principal consultant of vdH Consulting which he organized following his leaving NC State University in 2019. Guido focuses on the intersection of farm business management and taxation in the United States which involves teaching tax law to tax professionals, helping farms transition to the next generation with minimal tax consequences and planning business operations so that income tax burdens are as low as legally possible.
Guido has worked in New Zealand getting his hands “dirty” with farm management Down Under. Additionally, he has visited Australia (his birthplace), the Netherlands (his parent’s birthplace), Canada, Poland, Ireland, Scotland (United Kingdom), France and Scandinavia to attend IFMA Congresses or other agricultural meetings. Guido also helps manage family farmland in the state of Kansas.
Guido continues to lead national efforts in educating tax professionals by authoring and editing annual publications the National Income Tax Workbook and Agricultural Tax Issues published by the Land Grant University Tax Education Foundation for which he serves as president. Additionally, Guido has testified before the United States Congress Committee on Agriculture relative to income tax barriers to farm succession.
Guido’s wife Emily has joined him on nearly all the IFMA Congresses attended. Emily is engaged in the “partner’s programs” of respective Congresses.
