De Jong & Laan strengthens VAT advisory & compliance expertise with Less Grey

De Jong & Laan is further expanding its services with the specialized VAT advice and compliance practice Less Grey. "An acquisition with which we not only strengthen our expertise in VAT compliance and advice, but also anticipate future VAT reporting obligations," said Ellen Punte, partner and Tax lead at de Jong & Laan.

Founder Paul Cramer on Less Grey's team's affiliation with de Jong & Laan: "I am enormously pleased to become part of de Jong & Laan. Our shared vision of the human touch and high-quality advice make this a perfect match. In doing so, we will continue to serve our clients with the same personal approach, while at the same time having a broader body of knowledge and advice at our disposal and ensuring continuity."

"Less Grey has distinguished itself in recent years with specialized software solutions for VAT compliance. This fits perfectly with de Jong & Laan's strategy to offer innovative services and optimally support our (international) SME+ clients with the increasing complexity in VAT reporting. Together we take an important step forward in the further professionalization and growth of our VAT practice," said Jurgen van Breukelen, CEO of de Jong & Laan.
