What qualities do you value in an accountant?
What you’re really looking for is an accountant who looks beyond the numbers and genuinely listens to your ambitions. Someone who understands your challenges today and is ready to take on tomorrow's challenges together. Think of us as an extension of your team, partners who are in it together.
"We were looking for an accountant who could grow with us."
A common challenge for fast-growing organisations is that they lack the time and oversight to stay on top of all their obligations. That was also the case at healthcare provider KliniekTwente. Caught up in the day-to-day pressures, the clinic wasn’t always fully aware of the latest regulations, which meant it missed deadlines or exposed it to certain risks.
Ilse Kroft, dermatologist and owner of KliniekTwente, therefore went in search of an accountant who could really add value, before ending up with de Jong & Laan. Ilse: “Clarity and insight into regulations, figures and results brings peace of mind, frees up time to focus on the right things, and helps avoid unpleasant surprises. Having an accountant and adviser who understands the healthcare sector has really proven its worth to us.”

Preparing your business for the next generation
One of the big challenges many entrepreneurs face is: how do I prepare my business for the next generation? A crucial part of that is drawing up a detailed succession plan – one that goes beyond what you might initially expect from a purely numbers-driven, accountant’s perspective.
Christiaan and Hendrik, owners of Edens Plants, turned to de Jong & Laan for support. "When it came down to the figures and taxation, we brought in de Jong & Laan. From that moment on, we developed a close working relationship. Alongside the insights we get through digital dashboards, which allow us to share financial information transparently, we also have open, personal conversations."

A lasting relationship
as a basis for trust
Building the future together means building lasting relationships. A lasting relationship hinges on trust. For Harry Westerbroek (partner) and Onno-Pieter Sonnega (managing director and majority shareholder at Plastchem), this lasting relationship goes back more than 20 years.
