IFS Finance, the leading full-service bookkeeping and administration firm from Almere, is taking a major step forward with a strategic partnership with investor Your Admin Partner. This collaboration marks the starting point of a buy & build strategy through which both parties aim to accelerate the consolidation of administration firms in the Netherlands.
From local success to national ambition
Since its founding in 2006, IFS Finance has evolved from a local bookkeeping firm into a solid player with over 250 satisfied SME clients. This success is built on a combination of personal service, broad expertise, and a team that truly understands the challenges entrepreneurs face.
From payroll administration to complex tax issues, from annual accounts to strategic financial guidance – IFS Finance has proven that complete support can go hand in hand with personal attention.
The management duo Cynthia van Arkel and Jacco Huisman continues this approach, together with founder Mart Meijer who also contributes his expertise to the new growth phase.
Capital injection enables growth plans
Funding for the ambitious plans comes from Your Admin Partner, supported by ING Bank as financing partner. This capital injection opens doors for strategic acquisitions and further professionalization of work processes.
The goal is clear: through smart acquisitions and organic growth, build an organization that provides the best administrative support to clients wherever they are located in the Netherlands.
Clients benefit from economies of scale
Existing and new clients directly experience the advantages:
- More specialized knowledge: By bundling expertise, clients gain access to specialists in every area of financial administration.
- Faster service: Increased capacity means shorter waiting times and quicker responses to questions.
- Broader offering: More complex issues can now be resolved internally.
- Security: Continuity is guaranteed by the strong financial foundation.Future perspective: National coverage makes growing businesses accessible everywhere.
Employees gain new development opportunities
The partnership offers employees attractive prospects. More specialization opportunities, career advancement possibilities, and the chance to work on challenging projects make IFS Finance an even more attractive employer.
The family character remains intact but is strengthened with professional development opportunities that were previously unattainable.
Market vision
“We see great opportunities in the market for administration firms,” management states. “Many entrepreneurs are looking for reliable partners who truly think along with them. By growing, we can add even more value without losing our personal approach.”
Mart Meijer, founder of IFS Finance, looks optimistically at the direction: “It’s wonderful to see how IFS Finance not only continues to exist but now also gets the resources to grow into a true market leader. Our clients deserve this next step.”
Your Admin Partner invests and sees great potential: “The IFS Finance team has shown that growth and quality can go hand in hand. Together we will roll out this success formula to more entrepreneurs.”
