Family-owned businesses are all about continuity. Where will we be in five years’ time, in ten years’ time? How do we keep the family assets intact, how do we keep relations within the family good? Like you, we know that continuity comes first. Like you, KPMG attaches great importance to personal relationship, the fit between people. And while we strive for the highest possible quality of service, we are averse to self-congratulation. We prefer to simply get to work. Like you.
Economic, technological and social developments are taking place so rapidly that the flavour of the month seems to dictate. However, family-owned businesses make a different choice, the long term is what matters. This year’s profits? Of course they are important. But there is more to life than maximising profits. How do we pass the company on to the succeeding generations? That is the question that really matters.

But what about the strategic choices?
These are things that demand your attention in the short terms, but in the meantime you want to see the big questions answered at the strategic level. Then it’s about the choices you make with regard to innovation, digitisation and becoming more sutainable and the energy transition. After all, those are the trends that will shape the future, the trends based on which you will determine the growth strategy of the company. Is your business really ready for the future?
Knowing the value of loyalty
KPMG has the knowledge and expertise to support you in this regard. We have always had a strong commitment to family firms. You don’t want an accountant who only looks at the bare figures, an HR consultant who immediately recommends compulsory redundancies is not helping, you can’t use a tax specialist who operates at the margins. Instead, you want an accountant you can trust, an adviser who knows what loyalty means and a tax specialist who understand that as a Dutch firm operating in the Netherlands you want to pay your fair share of tax and that you don’t want friction with the Tax and Customs Administration. So knowing the family is a big part of their job. So that they only devote their attention to the fiscal solutions that suit the family and suit the company.
The family assets
There are several aspects that set family-owned businesses apart. After all, besides the future of the company you are also concerned about the future of the family.
So you think about managing the family’s assets. KPMG Meijburg & Co has specific experience with consultancy around family offices (pdf 2,7 MB). In tax and legal terms, we take care of everything for you. Again, continuity comes first: it’s not about the highest yield but about preserving the family assets and a responsible investment policy that suits the family culture.
