Eastwing

What Eastwing does

Eastwing B.V. is a Netherlands-based professional services firm providing global mobility services for international employees of Dutch and international employers. Founded by Rob den Boer — who started the Fiscature job board for tax professionals in 2006 — the firm operates from offices in Capelle aan den IJssel and Bergen op Zoom, with a service portfolio spanning relocation, immigration (work/residence permits, EU Blue Card, ICT, erkend referent applications), 30%-ruling/expat ruling, Dutch and international tax returns and advice, social security coordination, payroll administration and payrolling, and programme-level relocation management. Eastwing positions itself as a one-stop-shop offering HR and recruitment teams a single point of contact across these workstreams.

The firm's underlying technology is deliberately light and service-led rather than platform-led: a multilingual WordPress website with a published "kennisbank" knowledge base, a self-serve client portal at connect.eastwing.nl for case and document exchange, and Calendly-based online appointment booking. Its competitive differentiation rests on operational and human assets rather than software: an off-market housing network across the Netherlands, a curated niche network of fiscalists, HR, payroll, compensation & benefits, immigration and relocation professionals built since 2006, and an operational agreement with the Dutch tax office that shortens 30%-ruling processing to 2-4 weeks (versus the standard 8-week term). Eastwing holds EURA membership and is a private Dutch B.V. with no disclosed external funding.

Eastwing monetises through several professional and managed services streams: project-based fees bundled into "Compliance care," "Relocation care" and "Complete care" packages; recurring payroll administration and payrolling engagements; interim/in-house support capacity; Talent Solutions recruitment on a no-cure, no-pay basis; and the Eastwing Academy training line, including a self-developed Praktijkopleiding Global Mobility. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, combining direct enterprise engagement, inside sales via website and Calendly, and a referral/partner channel through Undutchables, All About Expats, Phocus, the Zeeland International Center and the EURA network. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customer testimonials include enterprise names such as Fugro and HR leaders across multiple industries, with NPS scores of 9.5-10 published on the homepage.

Core offering

Eastwing is a Dutch professional services firm delivering a one-stop-shop global mobility offering for HR and recruitment teams: relocation management, immigration (residence/work permits, EU Blue Card, ICT, erkend referent applications), 30%-ruling/expat ruling processing, Dutch and international tax returns and advice, social security coordination, payroll administration and payrolling for international staff, plus Eastwing Academy training and Talent Solutions interim/permanent recruitment.

Product overview

Eastwing is a Dutch professional services firm — not a SaaS platform — operating as a one-stop-shop global mobility partner for HR and recruitment teams. Its offering is a unified services portfolio rather than a modular software product: the core advisory services (Relocation, Immigration, Expat ruling / 30%-ruling, Tax returns, Tax advice, Social security, Payroll administration and payrolling, and Relocation management) are delivered by a single dedicated team that acts as the customer's single point of contact. Around this core it bundles supporting offerings: Global mobility consulting and Inhouse support provide flexible strategic and capacity extension, Eastwing Academy delivers training (including the self-developed Praktijkopleiding Global Mobility), and Talent Solutions provides interim and permanent recruitment through a niche network of fiscal, HR, payroll, immigration and relocation specialists.
