Special workshop 1 - Financial education evening with Eusebiu Burcas and friends

He has a double formation – legal professional, specialized in human resources and economist specialized in marketing and management. From 2001 he has provided advisory services for various fields in developing small and medium-sized companies: human resources policies, market research, HR document management, assistance in ITM and ANAF inspections, debt recovery, mergers and selection of management boards. He is also a trainer (courses: Sales manager – one class being monitored by the World Bank; Human resources inspector; Efficient relationships with clients; Unbiased evaluation of performance; Communication etc.). His years spent working in consulting have helped him acquire an interdisciplinary position in fields such as using contracts to obtain maximum tax advantages or using the strict provisions of the Labor Code to render the activity more flexible and cut the employer’s expenses. He is a collaborator of the Rentrop&Straton Consulting Group, with which he has launched best-selling products (“Profitable alternatives to the labor agreement”, “How to recover debt without a trial – 8 quick methods”, “New tax rules applied to contracts in the New Civil Code”, “Performance evaluation” etc.). He worked for 14 years with the Legis law software in the fields “Doctrines” and “Economic syntheses”, he has collaborated with the portal avocatnet.ro since 2013 (the law software SuperLege, whose target audience are SMEs), and he has been an expert advisor since 2015 at the law software Indaco-Lege 5. After almost 15 years of advisory services, Horatiu Sasu speaks the language of Romanian entrepreneurs, offering practical solutions that stem straight from the needs of businessmen in small and medium-sized companies. That is why, besides the interdisciplinary aspect, his works have a strong practical element (we mention “50 advantages in your fight with the Treasury”, “Practices to avoid declaring and paying taxes” – co-authorship, C.H.Beck publishing house, as well as the products and works mentioned above). His experience in interdisciplinary fields and training have made him launch in 2015, together with Luca Dezmir, Adrian Benţa and Lucian Ţâţu, the online course “Tax guerilla: The company with ZERO taxes in Romania”, where Horatiu Sasu coordinated the market research campaign, mediated the contractual aspects related to the course and taught two interdisciplinary practical modules (“Tax optimization through alternatives to the labor agreement” and “How to justify the company with zero taxes to ANAF”).

Luca Dezmir is the literary pseudonym that the dentist Darius Luca Hupov uses to write his non-fiction books, on topics of personal finance and investments. Luca started his activity as a doctor in 1994 and 3 years later he opened a private practice. A few years later, at the right time, Luca found a book that changed his life “Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids about Money that the Middle Class Do Not!” by Robert Kiyosaki. That was when he radically changed his way of looking at money and prosperity. In 2001 he started investing in real estate properties. In 2002 he took a course in stock exchange investments with Jorg Christian Manetti and started investing in international financial markets in 2003. In time, he felt the need to share his personal experience and thus, in 2007, he opened the first Romanian blog dedicated entirely to personal finance and investments, milionarulmioritic.com. A year later his book “Get out of the labyrinth – find your financial freedom in your own style” was published, the first one written by a Romanian to tackle personal finance and investments. In the following years he continued to write, publishing the books: “Tougher than the bank – get rid of your debts with a simple plan”, “How to make money as a teenager – a practical guide adapted to your needs” and “Tax guerilla handbook – how to pay the least number of taxes, using only legal methods”. At the same time, Luca began his activity as a trainer. He launched the first open platform for online education in Romania, leducativ.com, where he teaches personal finance and investment courses.

Since 2005 he has been an expert accountant and since 2006 a tax advisor. From September 2001 until the end of February 2009, Adrian Luca worked at PwC.

Besides, he conceived and wrote some of the internal legislation on transfer prices and the procedure of advance price agreement issuance.
