Tijmen Kroes

What Tijmen Kroes does

Tijmen Kroes is a privately-held, family-owned Dutch multi-discipline advisory firm headquartered in Apeldoorn, operating under the positioning "adviseurs in leven, wonen en ondernemen" (advisors in living, housing, and business). The firm delivers four interlocking service lines: financial advisory (tax, fiscal, financial planning, and administration) for both private individuals and businesses; real estate services including residential and commercial brokerage, valuations, and buyer/seller guidance; VvE (Association of Owners) and property/rental management; and business support services spanning legal advisory, payroll and HR administration, and project management. The firm serves a horizontal mix of businesses/entrepreneurs and private individuals, with two primary segments both classified as primary. Geographic scope is domestic, concentrated in Apeldoorn and surrounding municipalities in the Netherlands, with project-based forays into Arnhem.

The operating model is sales-led, delivered through direct advisory engagements at the Schumanpark office in Apeldoorn and supported by property listings on the firm's own website, Funda, and Pararius. Revenue is generated across multiple mechanics: subscription/recurring financial advisory mandates, transaction fees on real estate brokerage, managed services for VvE and property/rental management (with VvE billed via a flexible advance-payment model settled half-yearly against time spent), and professional services for legal, payroll/HR, and project management. Customer reach is claimed at 755+ satisfied customers; headcount is 30+ professionals with notable long tenures (multiple advisors with 20-25+ years at the firm).

The underlying technology consists of third-party SaaS integrated into client delivery: the Twinq online portal provides VvE members and management boards 24/7 access to payment data, association documents, and real-time bookkeeping; Exact Online powers accounting; Infine and Nextens support tax preparation; and the firm's website (redesigned and relaunched in January 2024 with puur-communicatie and Tussendoor) integrates property listings. The firm holds multiple sector-mandated certifications — NVM, BVVB, NRVT, VastgoedCert, and NWWI — that are required to legally operate as a broker, VvE manager, and certified appraiser. Growth has been supplemented by two recent acquisitions (Rulinde Kiekebeld's business in 2021 and B&E administraties in 2023), and product expansion into VvE energy-transition projects (solar installations, boiler room modernization) completed in early 2024.
