What Taqt Kennis. Partner. does

Taqt is a private Dutch HR and payroll administration service provider headquartered in Nijmegen, Netherlands, founded in 2016 by Jon Wijnakker and Dirk Flintrop. The company targets small and medium-sized businesses across the Netherlands, with vertical specialization in the painting, construction, and security sectors where sector-specific CAO compliance is a material pain point. Service delivery combines a dedicated human advisor model with a self-service online HR portal powered by third-party Buddee software, while payroll processing runs on Nmbrs; Taqt itself does not develop proprietary HR or payroll technology. Customers access a modular subscription offering: a Basis Pakket (€249–€649/month depending on employee count, plus a one-time €499 setup fee) covers salary administration, contract management, personnel files, and compliance checks, while optional Doorlopende modules (finance pre-financing at 1.75% of payroll, absence insurance at 0.25% of payroll, sector compliance from €249/month) and Aan-/Uit modules (absence prevention at €649/month, growth and development at €499/month) extend the relationship into adjacent financial, insurance, and strategic HR advisory services. An All-in Pakket provides full outsourcing for clients wanting a single bundled relationship. Distribution is sales-led and direct: customers are acquired via the company website, phone consultation (024 20 30 969), and in-person meetings at the Nijmegen headquarters, with growth supported through published case studies across multiple verticals and Google reviews as social proof.

The business model is recurring subscription revenue underwritten by SMB contract values in the low-hundreds-of-euros-per-month range, augmented by usage-based percentage-of-payroll fees on finance and insurance modules that scale with customer headcount. Strategic moats are modest: the dedicated advisor creates switching friction, vertical-specific CAO expertise serves as an intangible asset in target industries, and an eight-partner ecosystem (Nmbrs, ArboNed, ASR, Quintes, Advocaten van nu, Pierson, Advitas, Kompas) allows Taqt to bundle adjacent services without building them in-house. Notable customer outcomes cited by the company include a 60% reduction in administration time, an absence rate drop from 10.8% to 2.4% in one year for Elanto Schilders, and 63% savings on absence insurance costs for the same client. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external funding rounds, and the operating team is approximately 10 individuals.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• HumanTotalCare: Dutch occupational health and absenteeism management provider owned by HumanGroup. Overlaps with Taqt's absence prevention module and partnership with ArboNed, addressing the same Dutch employer market with deeper health/wellbeing specialization.
• Acerta: Belgian HR and payroll services provider serving SMBs with similar bundled offerings (payroll, social secretariat, insurance). Comparable in service model and SMB focus but operating in Belgium rather than the Netherlands, so a regional rather than direct competitor.

Emerging players

• Nmbrs: Cloud-native Dutch payroll and HR platform that Taqt itself partners with for backend processing. Nmbrs sells directly to employers and through accountants, meaning it is simultaneously technology supplier and indirect competitor offering similar cloud-portal HR/payroll functionality.
• Countus: Dutch accountancy and advisory firm offering payroll administration and HR advisory to SMBs. Competes in the same Dutch SMB segment with a more accountancy-rooted service model, often partnering with or replacing external payroll providers like Taqt.
• Zenya (Pinkweb): Dutch HR software platform focused on SMB employers, offering personnel administration, absence management, and employee self-service. Comparable self-service portal proposition to Taqt's Buddee-powered offering with a more software-led, less advisor-led model.

Broad incumbents

• AFAS Software: Dutch-developed HRM and ERP suite (AFAS Profit) widely used by Dutch SMBs and mid-market companies for payroll, HR, and finance. A natural direct competitor offering software-led HR administration with optional partner-led services.
• Visma: Nordic-headquartered business software conglomerate with major Dutch HR/payroll presence (Visma | Raet). Offers enterprise-grade HCM, payroll, and ERP across a much broader customer base including larger SMBs and enterprises that overlap with Taqt's market.
• SD Worx: European HR and payroll services provider with significant Dutch operations offering managed payroll, HR outsourcing, and consultancy. Competes for the same Dutch SMB and mid-market accounts with a broader geographic footprint.
• ADP Nederland: Global payroll and HCM giant with Dutch operations providing managed payroll, HR outsourcing, and compliance services. Competes for Dutch SMB and mid-market segments with significantly greater scale and brand recognition.

Direct peers

• Loket.nl: Dutch online payroll and HR administration service specifically targeting SMBs in the Netherlands. Offers transparent per-employee pricing, self-service portal, and bundled HR advisory - directly comparable product/market overlap to Taqt's Basic Package plus modules.
