Beerensteyn Partners

What Beerensteyn Partners does

Beerensteyn Partners is a Netherlands-based partnership of interim CFOs founded in 2013 by David Veerbeek, a former 20-year PwC partner. The firm delivers senior-level CFO expertise to Dutch family businesses, publicly listed companies, and private equity firms and their portfolio companies. It is structured as a "maatschapsverband" (partnership) of 12 equity partners — all of whom are practising interim CFOs with an average of 24 years of experience (range 10–40 years) — rather than a solo practice or contractor-based staffing agency, with the explicit differentiator that every engagement is backed by peer collaboration across the partner group.

The firm offers four core service lines: (1) full-time Interim CFO engagements for specific projects or transition phases (months to several years), (2) Fractional CFO engagements starting from one day per week for ongoing part-time financial leadership, (3) CFO Family Business services covering non-family CFO, commissioner, family charter, and governance work, and (4) Interim Financial Director / management-level support for reorganizations, M&A, and capacity gaps. Engagements are scoped and priced based on partner seniority, deployment mode (full-time vs. fractional), and duration; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The go-to-market is a sales-led, enterprise-field motion relying on direct outreach, referrals from accountants, banks, supervisory boards, and directors, plus a partner-authored blog, case studies (RTL, Helvoet/Hydratec, Mauritsklinieken, Skins Cosmetics), and a bilingual Dutch/English website. The firm is headquartered in Naarden, Netherlands, serves clients in a single domestic market, and has no disclosed funding, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or external investors. Revenue is generated purely through professional services fees, with no technology platform, productized software, or AI-enabled tooling underlying delivery.

Revenue model

1. Interim CFO Services: Beerensteyn Partners provides experienced interim CFOs for temporary engagements. Services are billed based on the scope and duration of the engagement. The firm offers both full-time interim CFO assignments (for specific periods or projects, ranging from months to several years) and part-time/fractional CFO engagements (starting from one day per week). Revenue is generated through professional services fees tied to the seniority and availability of partner-level CFOs.
2. Fractional CFO / Part-time CFO Services: Part-time CFO engagements where a partner provides ongoing financial leadership on a flexible, part-time basis for companies that do not require a full-time CFO. The fractional CFO is involved for extended periods, addressing multiple financial challenges and providing strategic financial advice. Flexible commitment starting from one day per week.
