Финансовый консультант RAAD International приобрел две компании в Нидерландах и Южной Африке

RAAD International, a Netherlands-based firm that has provided international financial advice to entrepreneurs for more than 35 years, has acquired two companies, one in the Netherlands and one in South Africa. "Some of the best opportunities don't come from behind a desk, but from sitting at the table with entrepreneurs who share the same vision," says John van Wijk, who leads the group. Djent Administratie, based in Barendrecht, the Netherlands, will join the RAAD (Inter-)national Group as of October 1, 2026. "Over the past months, I've had many conversations with this company. Not just about figures, clients, and growth, but above all about people, about entrepreneurship, about ambition, and about how we can serve our clients even better," John says. "This acquisition is about much more than growing our numbers. It's another step in building an organization where clients can turn to us for virtually any financial, tax, or international challenge." © RAAD International bv Team Djent Djent's ten employees will move over to RAAD International. "Djent was mainly active in the smaller business segment. With this integration, we're welcoming around 300 entrepreneurs as new clients, including many internationally oriented businesses that fit well with our services," John explains. "Our new colleagues also bring a wealth of knowledge and experience that strengthens our organization, allowing us to serve companies ranging from sole proprietors to large enterprises even better." "Djent's clients keep their familiar contacts, while gaining access to a much broader network of specialists and international expertise," John adds. "We're looking forward to building one strong organization together, with collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and enjoyment at work at its core." © RAAD International bvJohn with his South African colleagues © RAAD International bv Beyond the Djent deal, RAAD has also acquired accounting firm AfriCFO in South Africa, located roughly 9,000 kilometers away, under the leadership of Martin Havinga. "We've now been active with RAAD (Inter-)national South Africa PTY for a year and a half. With Martin on board, we've brought in a professional who can lead the team locally," John says. "Our goal with the South African branch is twofold: we help exporters based in South Africa who want to set up a sales entity in the Netherlands, for example, or for whom we act as fiscal representative. At the same time, the South African team also functions as an administrative hub for international clients operating in the same language and time zone." "Over the past years, we've worked hard to build an international organization with offices in the Netherlands, Turkey, and South Africa," John continues. "Through these offices, we now support hundreds of entrepreneurs in accounting, tax, corporate services, international structuring, visa and payroll services, and cross-border business. A large part of the administrative work for our Dutch clients is now handled from Stellenbosch, South Africa, or Istanbul, Turkey. Clients submit their records digitally, and our teams take care of final processing and tax filings. We can offer all of this at a competitive rate. For the client, it ultimately doesn't matter where the back office is located, as long as they keep a firm grip on their costs and financial processes." © RAAD International bv South Africa office Asked whether this is the last of the news for now, John responds with his characteristic laugh: "There's more news coming soon." © RAAD International bv For more information: John van Wijk RAAD International Tel: +31 (0) 88 2702700 [email protected] www.raadinternational.com
