De Jong & Laan strengthens expertise in VAT advice and compliance with Less Grey
De Jong & Laan further expands its services with the specialized VAT advisory and compliance practice, Less Grey. “An addition that not only strengthens our expertise in VAT compliance and advisory, but also allows us to anticipate future VAT reporting obligations,” says Ellen Punte, partner and Tax lead at De Jong & Laan.
Founder Paul Cramer on the integration of the Less Grey team into de Jong & Laan: “I am thrilled to become part of de Jong & Laan. Our shared vision of a personal approach and high-quality advice makes this a perfect match. We will continue to serve our clients with the same personal approach while also having access to a broader knowledge and advisory body, ensuring continuity.”
“Less Grey has distinguished itself in recent years with specialized software solutions for VAT compliance. This perfectly aligns with de Jong & Laan’s strategy of offering innovative services and providing optimal support to our (international) SME+ clients in the face of increasing complexity in VAT reporting. Together, we are taking an important step forward in further professionalizing and growing our VAT practice,” says Jurgen van Breukelen, CEO of de Jong & Laan.

VAT advisory services will be incorporated into the Tax business unit of de Jong & Laan, while international compliance activities will initially continue under the internationally recognized name Less Grey. This ensures continuity for clients and partners worldwide. The connection with de Jong & Laan is visible in the Less Grey logo through the addition of ‘Powered by de Jong & Laan.’
With the arrival of Less Grey, de Jong & Laan is not only making an important step in expanding its VAT expertise, but also marking the beginning of further growth within the field. “We see an increasing demand for specialized VAT advisors and are continuing to strengthen our VAT team. This presents opportunities for VAT specialists who wish to develop within a dynamic and ambitious organization,” says Ellen Punte.
