What Fizi, netwerk zorgfinancials does

Fizi, netwerk zorgfinancials, is a Dutch professional association (beroepsvereniging) founded in 1973 that serves healthcare financial professionals (zorgfinancials) across the Netherlands. The organization connects, inspires, and develops its members to contribute to a sustainable Dutch healthcare system, serving a base of approximately 1,600 individual members and more than 400 affiliated healthcare organizations spanning the VVT (care for the elderly and home care), GGZ (mental health), hospitals, and disability care sectors. Its portfolio spans member services including the Fizi Academy training program, the Fizier professional journal (published three times per year), the annual Fizi Jaarevent flagship conference, a digital Kennisbank (knowledge bank) of whitepapers and articles, regular member bijeenkomsten, and the BC 2.0 development trajectory for business controllers.

Fizi generates revenue almost exclusively through recurring annual membership fees at tiered price points (Executive €6,750, Premium €4,310, Basic €2,310 for organizations; individual/zzp and Alumni memberships at lower price points), supplemented by Fizier journal subscriptions (€68/year) and contributions from 42+ strategic partners including banks (ABN AMRO, Rabobank, BNG Bank, NWB Bank, Handelsbanken), consultancies (BDO, Berenschot, Aon, Moore DRV, Verstegen), and healthcare software vendors (LOGEX, Performation, Predico, Peple, Esculine, Vlirdens). The association operates from a head office in Assen and a training hub (FiziHub) in Zeist, with no international expansion indicated. It is governed by its members through a general assembly, with leadership elected by members — most recently with Jeroen van Ree elected as chair effective May 21, 2026.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• NBA (Koninklijke Nederlandse Beroepsorganisatie van Accountants): Royal Netherlands Institute of Chartered Accountants, the Dutch professional association for accountants. Comparable to Fizi as a Dutch professional association serving finance professionals, with similar offerings (mandatory membership, education, journals, events), but at much larger scale and broader (non-healthcare) scope.
• HFMA (Healthcare Financial Management Association): The dominant US/UK professional association for healthcare finance professionals, offering education, certification, networking, and benchmarking. Comparable to Fizi in mission and product mix (membership tiers, journals, events, training) but operates at significantly larger scale and geographic reach.

Regional players

• Nictiz: Dutch knowledge center for digitalization and information in healthcare, providing standards, publications, and events for healthcare IT and data professionals. Comparable to Fizi as a Netherlands-based, membership-supported healthcare knowledge organization, though focused on IT/digital rather than finance.

Direct peers

• ActiZ: Dutch employers' organization for the VVT sector (elderly care, nursing homes, home care, and youth care). Comparable to Fizi as a sector-specific membership association serving Dutch healthcare organizations, with similar member value proposition around representation, knowledge sharing, and advocacy.
• GGZ Nederland: Dutch branch association for mental health (GGZ) provider organizations. Directly comparable as a Netherlands-based healthcare membership association serving one of the same sub-sectors Fizi covers, with similar member-driven funding and knowledge-sharing value proposition.
• NVZD (Nederlandse Vereniging van Zorgdirecteuren): Dutch association for healthcare executives/directors, providing networking, professional development, and policy advocacy. Directly comparable as a Netherlands-based professional association serving the senior leadership layer of healthcare organizations, with similar membership-driven and event-centric business model.

Others

• Berenschot: Dutch management consulting firm with a dedicated Healthcare & Welfare sector team covering strategy, benchmarking, business operations, and information management. Functions as a Fizi partner but is comparable as a peer organization serving Dutch healthcare finance leaders with advisory, training, and benchmarking services.

Emerging players

• LOGEX: Dutch-headquartered healthcare analytics and benchmarking provider serving hospitals and other providers with software, data analysis, and advisory. Partially overlaps with Fizi's ecosystem as a partner; comparable in addressing the same healthcare finance audience but via a SaaS/data model rather than association model.
