Finescon

What Finescon does

Finescon is a Dutch accounting and tax advisory firm headquartered in Lelystad, Netherlands, providing administration, tax filings, tax advisory, payroll, startup support, and annual accounts services to approximately 300+ SMEs, freelancers (ZZP'ers), and director-shareholders (DGAs) across the Netherlands. The firm operates as Finescon v.o.f. and is wholly owned by Syntheo Holding B.V., following the April 2026 merger with the administrative branch of Koning Belastingadviseurs, which itself had been acquired by Syntheo in January 2026.

Service delivery is built on a stack of third-party cloud platforms: Asperion (or Snelstart/Twinfield) for bookkeeping, Nmbrs for payroll administration, and Basecone for document management, supplemented by an internally branded AI assistant called Fin that answers general Dutch tax questions and a public knowledge base (Kennisbank) for content marketing. Finescon is fully NOAB-certified and the firm has NOB-credentialed tax advisors, with senior personnel such as Anton Krone (Administrative Manager), Turid van den Berg (Senior Advisor), and Bernard Koning (NOB tax advisor) anchoring the practice.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly fees calibrated to transaction volume and complexity, augmented by fixed-price engagements for tax filings, advisory work, and one-time startup support. Distribution is consultative and direct: free intro calls, a fixed contact person model, Koalendar booking integration, and NOAB/NOB network referrals. Geographic reach is nationwide from a single Lelystad office (Kolkweg 20 P11), with no foreign operations. The firm self-describes as the largest in the Lelystad region, with 25+ years operating history tracing back to its 1996 founding as Raat.

Core offering

Finescon provides outsourced accounting, tax, and payroll services for Dutch SMEs, freelancers (ZZP'ers), and director-shareholders (DGA's).

The core offering comprises seven interconnected services: bookkeeping (Administratie), tax advisory (Belastingadvies), tax filings (Fiscale Aangiften), payroll (Salarisadministratie), startup support (Startersbegeleiding), and annual accounts (Jaarrekening & Rapportage). On top of these core services, Finescon offers Fin, an AI-powered assistant for general tax questions, and a Knowledge Base (Kennisbank) with educational articles. All services are delivered by a dedicated contact person using Asperion/Snelstart for bookkeeping and Nmbrs for payroll, with NOAB certification underlying the entire service delivery.
