VZG

What VZG does

VZG Accountants B.V. is a Dutch accountancy and advisory firm that traces its operating history to 1996 and is headquartered in Maasland, Netherlands. The firm operates from five physical offices (Ameide, Barendrecht, Maasland, Rockanje, Sliedrecht) and delivers services across four core lines: accountancy, finance advisory, recovery, and payroll. It serves primarily Dutch SMB clients, with stated specialization signals including the agricultural / greenhouse horticulture (glastuinbouw) sector, and maintains professional credentials via membership in NBA and RB. The firm's revenue mechanics are consistent with a traditional professional services model - fee-for-service engagements, recurring annual reporting work, and ongoing payroll administration for retained SMB clients.

The technology stack is built on third-party cloud platforms rather than proprietary systems: Twinfield and Exact Online for accounting and reporting, Basecone for document/receipt processing, and Loket for payroll. VZG reports that 99% of its annual reports are produced digitally, and it is developing an in-house digital signature application to internalize that workflow. GDPR compliance is maintained, with a named partner (J.E.M. van Zomeren AA) acting as data protection contact. The firm has pursued growth through two disclosed acquisitions (Scherpenhuizen B.V. in 2019 and Van Limborgh & Partners in 2025) and has extended its service catalog into sustainability/CSRD advisory through an EcoRidders partnership.
