Kiki Dirix
Kiki Dirix was born and raised in Neer, in the heart of Middle Limburg, the Netherlands. Growing up in an entrepreneurial family, with both parents working as independent artists, creativity and initiative were instilled in her from a young age. From her earliest years, she accompanied her father to events, contributing in many ways to the family business.
In addition to running their business, the entire family was deeply involved in the equestrian world. Kiki was in the saddle before she could even walk. With great passion, she dedicated all her free time to riding Icelandic horses, later competing in (international) competitions — a pursuit in which she is still active and successful today.

Your personal financial partner!
After completing her pre-university education, Kiki moved to Tilburg at the age of 18 to study Fiscal Economics at Tilburg University. During her studies, she gained valuable work experience at accounting firms RSM Wehrens, Mennen & De Vries and PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers). She also took language courses in French and Spanish at the university.
In 2014, she obtained her Master’s degree in Fiscal Economics. She then worked for over 1.5 years as a general tax advisor at Koenen & Co in Roermond.
In the autumn of 2015, Kiki joined Rabobank through a traineeship to gain broader experience in financial services. She quickly took on the role of business account manager in various teams, increasingly specializing in equestrian entrepreneurs in the southern Netherlands (Brabant and Limburg). She became part of Rabobank Netherlands’ national equestrian specialist team.
In 2018, she began a part-time training program to become a certified Mental Coach at Sonnevelt Opleidingen.
Kiki had always been determined to one day become self-employed. Armed with extensive knowledge and a strong professional network, she founded Kiki Dirix Financial Consulting in 2021. As an independent consultant, she can now apply her expertise, skills, and network to their fullest potential.
