De Jong & Laan acquires TIC Advisory to bolster due diligence expertise

Leusden, 16 April 2025

Renowned financial due diligence specialist TIC Advisory has joined de Jong & Laan. This marks a major step towards fulfilling de Jong & Laan's strategy of guiding organisations through complex transactions and preparing them for a successful, sustainable future.

While de Jong & Laan already offers a wide range of due diligence services, the integration of TIC Advisory further deepens and broadens this expertise. “The current market demands quick analyses, sharp insights, and specialist knowledge. With TIC Advisory at our side, we can support clients more effectively in purchase and sale processes and help them clearly identify risks. Moreover, we offer them insight into how to maximise opportunities,” says Annemarie Schulenburg, corporate finance partner at de Jong & Laan.

With this expansion, de Jong & Laan has reinforced its services and boosted its national coverage by adding branches in Amsterdam, Deventer and Leusden. TIC Advisory's professionals will continue to work under the banner of TIC Advisory for now, with the upcoming addition of ‘Powered by de Jong & Laan’ highlighting the connection.

Jurgen van Breukelen, CEO of de Jong & Laan, highlights the strategic importance of the move: “Our ambition is to be the leading advisory firm for SME(+) businesses, which calls for continuous investment in deepening our expertise and developing our people. With TIC Advisory we're adding high-quality expertise and a partner who will help us guide our clients through key organisational developments. At the same time, it creates opportunities for our colleagues to grow further within a broader network and with a more challenging client base.”

De Jong & Laan and TIC Advisory share the same vision when it comes to client focus, quality and building lasting relationships. “These shared values form the foundation of a strong partnership and will help us both to grow further,” says Van Breukelen.

Jos Raben and Ralph Hoogerhuis, both partners at TIC Advisory, are equally confident about the future: “This is the next step in the journey we began six years ago. The merger enables us to offer a comprehensive Due Diligence service that brings together Financial, Tax, HR, and ESG Due Diligence. Working alongside the other Advisory professionals at de Jong & Laan, we will further strengthen and expand our position in the Dutch M&A market.”
