HLB Den Hartog and Van Oers.

At HLB Den Hartog Accountants & Consultants, we have believed in the power of personal relationships for decades. Deeply rooted in the Rotterdam and The Hague region, we have grown into a leading regional accountancy and advisory firm with over 80 years of history. We work closely with our clients and are firmly embedded in the day-to-day reality of SMEs and owner-managed businesses, as well as larger (international) organisations and not-for-profit institutions. Our way of working is based on trust, commitment and truly understanding the people behind the business. That is who we are – and who we will continue to be.

The world in which we operate is changing rapidly. The accountancy sector is becoming increasingly complex, with higher demands in the areas of quality, compliance and technology, and a labour market that remains structurally tight. At the same time, we see clear consolidation taking place in the market. To continue providing the quality and personal proximity you are accustomed to in this dynamic environment, we have deliberately chosen to strengthen our organisation without losing our identity.

Our choice: joining forces with Van Oers

Driven by this conviction, we have decided to join forces with Van Oers. Not as an end in itself, but as a logical step to broaden our services and further develop our organisation. Throughout this process, our primary focus has been on culture, values and long-term sustainability. It quickly became clear that there was a strong cultural fit: the way Van Oers works – personal, committed and focused on long-term relationships – aligns perfectly with who we are.

In addition, Van Oers provides access to specialised disciplines and professional support services. This enables us to move faster in the areas of quality, innovation and professionalisation – developments from which both our clients and our colleagues will directly benefit.

What does this mean for clients and relations?

Our collaboration means reinforcement, not a loss of identity.
For our clients and relations, the foundation remains unchanged:

• you keep your trusted contact persons;
• our offices remain in Rotterdam and The Hague;
• our culture and way of working are preserved.

At the same time, you gain access to additional expertise, more specialised knowledge and modern digital solutions. The scale we achieve together enables us to support you even better – now and in the future.

What does this mean for (future) colleagues?

For (future) employees, this collaboration offers more opportunities for development, while retaining the personal working environment of a strong regional organisation. This includes:

• more room for professional development and specialisation;
• broader career and development paths within a larger organisation;
• collaboration with colleagues from a wide range of disciplines;
• continued short lines of communication, strong engagement and an informal culture.

Together, we are building an organisation that is attractive to work for, where quality and job satisfaction go hand in hand.

Stronger together, with our identity intact

The collaboration with Van Oers strengthens what we already do. Our organisations serve similar clients and markets, which naturally encourages substantive collaboration. Moreover, we share the same vision on independence: both organisations operate without private equity and have no intention of changing this. This provides stability, continuity and a clear, steady course for the future.

Staying close

Whatever changes, one thing remains the same: our commitment. As your trusted partner, we continue to stay close to you, close to your people and close to your business. By joining forces with Van Oers, we can support you even better – without creating distance.

Do you have any questions? We would be happy to discuss them with you.
