The Perfect Fit

What The Perfect Fit does

The Perfect Fit (legal entity: The Perfect Fit Finance & IT-professionals B.V., trade name TPF) is a Dutch private limited company founded in 2009 and headquartered at Weerlaan 4, 2181 HH, Hillegom, Netherlands. It operates a curated network of experienced finance and IT professionals and delivers three interconnected service lines: TPF Network, a partner community that hosts 8-10 in-person and online meetings annually featuring external speakers and facilitated peer lead sharing; TPF Academy, an accredited course institution authorized to award Permanent Education (PE) points for professional titles including Registeraccountant, Register EDP Auditor, and Register Controller, offering training in Finance, Information, Value management, BI tools, ESG/CSRD, ethics, and integrity; and TPF Interim, which sources and back-office-administers placements of these professionals into client organizations for finance, control, project, risk, compliance, change management, Lean Six Sigma, SAP, restructuring, and transaction-support engagements.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining recurring partner membership fees (€450 per quarter per partner, with a one-time €250 joining fee and a 10% training discount), professional-services margin on interim placements (where TPF manages sourcing, contracting, time tracking, and invoicing), and fees from Academy training programs including a recurring annual multi-day international training trip. The go-to-market is relationship-driven: prospective members are introduced through periodic network meetings, lead sharing flows partner-to-partner and via the internal "Aan de slag" working group, and the company distributes primarily through LinkedIn, email newsletters, a company blog, and live/online events — operating exclusively within the Netherlands with no external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries.
