What Bilanx Accountants en Adviseurs does

Bilanx Accountants en Adviseurs is a privately held Dutch accounting and advisory firm headquartered in Almelo, Overijssel, with additional offices in Hardenberg and Rijssen. The firm was founded in 1935 and in 2024/2025 celebrated its 90-year anniversary as a family-owned regional professional services company. Bilanx provides a full-service suite spanning accountancy, corporate finance, tax advisory, legal advisory, HR and payroll administration, and financial planning for directors-major shareholders (DGA).

The firm also operates a partner program for administratiekantoren and an educational arm (Bilanx Academie, Cedeo-recognized).

The firm's technology stack is cloud-based and integration-led rather than proprietary.

AnyDesk with TLS 1.2 and RSA 2048 encryption is used for the 'Meekijken' remote screen-sharing service. The firm holds required Dutch professional credentials (NBA, FFP, Kifid, SRA, Novak) and the NIS2 Quality Mark for cybersecurity compliance. No pricing is publicly disclosed; the firm offers free initial consultation meetings.

The business model is professional services fee-for-engagement across multiple advisory disciplines, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led through named individual advisors (Arjan Nijen Twilhaar, Roy Langeler, Jorieke Bakelaar, Erna Busscher, Gernand Hekman) supported by digital channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, podcast 'Aan tafel bij...', and an active content/news blog covering agrarisch, MKB, personeel & salaris, and fiscaal topics), plus the Partner up! channel program and the Bilanx Academie for mid-funnel engagement. The firm has 51-100 employees, no subsidiaries, no parent company, and no external funding; ownership and direction are retained by directors including Arjan Nijen Twilhaar and Gerard Sanderman.
