Successful collaboration begins with trust

Accountantscontrole Belastingadvies IT advies Personeel Hoogeveen Accountancy

Collaborating towards an optimal result begins with trust. Trust in each other's commitment, expertise, and the drive to achieve the best result for the customer together. Good mutual consultation is important in this regard. Regular alignment and involving each other when needed - this is how the multidisciplinary team at de Jong & Laan works effectively for and with ADG Groep.

"The customer can easily find us, and we always try to respond quickly," says Jeroen Gritter, partner at de Jong & Laan. "From our various disciplines, we work together with the client where each team member knows how to find each other well. Sometimes I merely serve as a link between the client and our specialists."

"Martin and I have known each other for a long time and have always kept in touch. When ADG Group needed an audit and wanted support from a regional office for this process, we got back in conversation. De Jong & Laan has multiple offices in the north, which allows us to always be close to the client. ADG Group itself has extensive expertise in finance, HR, and sales.

Yet, they always keep us informed of their activities at an early stage. Together, we see more. This early involvement enables us to support ADG Group and provide proactive advice from our various disciplines. From accountancy and tax advice to sustainability advice, HR advice and support in digitizing the business processes.”

"We easily pull up a chair"

"In some situations, it is important to deliver figures quickly. Continuous digital insight into current organizational data helps with that. But it also means being there for each other, literally and figuratively. Our advisors regularly work at the ADG Group office, and vice versa. It's convenient that we're in the same region because we can easily sit down together to discuss matters in person. Handy and effective.

One of the characteristics of our collaboration is that we maintain an open and transparent attitude towards each other. If something isn't running smoothly, we address it immediately. We sit around the table, listen to the story, identify the bottleneck, and then anticipate it. Sometimes this requires a change in the team, and you need the courage to follow through."

“Open communication, even when things aren't going well or when you see things could be done differently, ultimately brings you further together.”

"With that same courage, we also provide advice; we don't just tell clients what they want to hear. We look forward to potential opportunities with a positive outlook but remain critical in our assessments. For example, senior tax advisor Jacqueline Rijsbergen identified an underestimated financial risk in a partnership agreement. Jacqueline joined discussions with the fiscal party of the other participant. Through her pragmatic approach, we found an alternative that allowed both parties to achieve their goals in a fiscally correct manner."

A sustainable future

"ADG Group has grown tremendously and still has ambitions. Martin has a clear vision and a good understanding of the industry and its developments," Jeroen indicates.

I dare say that through our collaborative approach, we support ADG Group in working efficiently and making sustainable choices.

"The organization does not yet have a CSRD reporting obligation, but they are already looking around to prepare and set this up for the future as best as possible."

“No convoluted paths devised;

quick coordination makes collaboration pleasant.”

Apart from future legislation, ADG Group looks at sustainability from an intrinsic motivation. In addition to sustainable mobility solutions and giving back to society, such as through development work and participation in World Cleanup Day, the Recognized Sustainable+ organization carries the slogan 'Driven by Care'.

“It's a philosophy that we not only project towards clients but also pursue internally. I am convinced that when you add to the happiness of others— in this case, our employees by giving much freedom, personal responsibility, and genuine attention— you contribute to personal development and thus job satisfaction. And the client will eventually experience that," Martin says confidently.

“From that vision, you develop as an organization into strong self-reliant teams, and together we identify opportunities. By involving de Jong & Laan early on, they help us move forward. They think along with us on necessary adjustments in organizational structures, working methods, and legal frameworks. Their straightforward character, willingness to always brainstorm, and proactive support contribute to our organizational development. It doesn't always have to be grandiose or complex solutions. This is how we work enjoyably together towards the future.”
