Hofmeier

What Hofmeier does

Hofmeier Financiële Specialisten B.V. is a Dutch private professional services firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Leiden, Netherlands. The company specializes in providing interim finance professionals — including controllers, assistant controllers, financial administrators, and finance managers — deployed on temporary assignments to client organizations. Hofmeier employs these professionals on its own payroll (rather than engaging freelancers), which provides clients with Wet DBA regulatory clarity and ensures quality control across deployments.

The firm serves four primary verticals: woningcorporaties (Dutch housing corporations), onderwijs (education institutions from primary through higher education), MKB & corporate (small and medium enterprises and larger corporates), and public & non-profit organizations including municipalities. Beyond interim staffing, Hofmeier offers supplementary services including finance recruitment for permanent placements, advisory services such as project control, risk management, and contract management, and a training portfolio comprising workshops (e.g., Basisfinanciën voor Schoolleiders) and the Leergang Strategische Bedrijfsvoering program delivered in partnership with AVS. The company also operates the Onderwijs Kenniskring, a knowledge-sharing community for education-sector finance professionals.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services billing of deployed interim staff hours at client organizations. Hofmeier operates a purely direct sales model via dedicated sector managers, with no channel partners or reseller network. The company serves clients exclusively within the Netherlands and reports a 25-year operating history with hundreds of client organizations served and an 8.1/10 customer satisfaction rating. Ownership is private (B.V. structure) with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
