Our foundation

The van der Kraay, Swan & Jones difference

Working with your team

We're hands-on professionals. We work alongside your team to implement changes, and even dive deep in your financial accounting systems, until everything works the way it should.

Rolled-up sleeves

We like to be active business professionals with rolled-up sleeves: we do not stop at powerpoint presentations, but instead implement necessary adjustments.

Proprietary software

We use proprietary software tools that combine third party accounting software with AI and machine learning.

Turn-key finance support

We support clients and their finance functions by providing turn-key finance support, from basic bookkeeping functions up to elaborate and complex analyses for decision support.

Expertise and network

We speak the languages, we know the cultures and the pecularities of doing business. Our clients have access to our business networks: lawyers, accounting firms, and other professional service providers that share our values.

Design approach

In co-creation with the management team we determine the key steering information that truly drives performance. We prototype dashboards, financial and operational reports and KPI's, and implement these directly.

Our starting point

The problem we solve

Why it exists

Management teams rely on reports that arrive late and that, in many cases, fail to reflect factors that are critical to the business’s development. Decisions are made based on outdated data that paints an incomplete picture of a context that has already changed, making it difficult for the management to pursue the right strategy for the company’s growth.

Why now

We are at a decisive moment in technological development, where the way we work is changing forever. This is the perfect opportunity to ride the wave of innovation and apply it to the financial world, automating and simplifying operational processes in order to leverage the greatest asset of this new era: the quality and impact of the human experience and perspective.

Our framework

We accelerate, automate, and enrich reporting with additional business dimensions. In this way, we provide the team with up-to-date information and a complete overview, which, through workshops and high-impact experiences, enables us to develop, in phases, the right strategy for the company’s development.
