Van Ree Accountants

What Van Ree Accountants does

Van Ree Accountants is a Dutch full-service accountancy and advisory firm founded around 1966, headquartered in Leersum, and operating nine offices across Gelderland, Utrecht, Zuid-Holland, Overijssel, and Leiden. The firm is organized into three operating units: core Accountancy (annual accounts, statutory and voluntary audits, financial administration, subsidy and project audits, business economic advisory), Finance Consultancy (tax advisory, business valuation, business succession, legal advisory, financial planning, corporate recovery, restructuring, VAT advisory) delivered through wholly-owned subsidiary Van Ree Finance Consultants BV, and HR Consultancy (payroll, HR advisory, training, performance management, risk inventories) delivered through wholly-owned subsidiary Van Ree HR Consultants BV. The firm holds a Wta-vergunning statutory audit license from the AFM, enabling it to perform audits, and is affiliated with NBA, SRA, RB, NIRV, REP, NEVOA, and the INAA international network.

Its core technology stack is composed of third-party SaaS platforms rather than proprietary systems: Twinfield and Snelstart for online accounting, Nmbrs for payroll, and Basecone for document scanning and recognition, all accessed by clients through the Mijn Van Ree client portal. The firm has developed one internal tool, RMToolbox, an Excel-based risk management application built on the COSO framework, and offers IT-audit services staffed by CISA-certified professionals.

Van Ree generates revenue through professional-services fees across four streams: accountancy, tax advisory, finance consultancy, and HR consultancy. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but is increasingly shifting toward fixed monthly subscription packages under the MKB Support sub-brand (minimum 1-year contract, 2-month notice period), supplementing traditional engagement-based billing. The firm serves a primarily MKB (SMB) client base, with deeper specialization in the education, non-profit, automotive, and feed/food verticals, and operates a sales-led, relationship-based go-to-market model executed through its nine office locations and dedicated partners at each site.
