Vallei Strengthens Market Position with Arep and Covades

News

Woudenberg, November 8, 2024 Vallei Accountants is strengthening and broadening its market position and service offering by integrating Arep Accountants and Covades occupational health services.

Both Arep and Covades align well with Vallei’s core values and culture, prioritizing a people-oriented approach with a focus on colleagues and clients. Both companies are also characterized by their no-nonsense mentality, short lines of communication, and commitment to quality.

These acquisitions enable Vallei, Arep, and Covades to continue attracting talent, providing opportunities, and broadening their services. As of January 1, 2025, Arep will continue its operations under the name Vallei Accountants. Covades will retain its name while operating within the Vallei Finance Group.

Ad van Engelen, Director of Arep, commented:
“Vallei Accountants is a solid accounting and advisory firm. We see Vallei Accountants as a great partner to move forward together. This acquisition creates a collaboration where we can continue to serve our clients optimally.” Van Engelen will remain affiliated with Vallei Accountants in the coming years.

Bas van Sprundel, Director of Covades, added:
“The ambitions and core values of Covades and Vallei align seamlessly. Both organizations stand for quality service, short lines of communication, and quick decision-making, but perhaps most importantly, we enjoy working together, value development, and facilitate progress. I look forward to building together!”

Marfred de Leeuw, Director and Founder of Vallei Accountants, is pleased with this expansion:
“The acquisition of Arep strengthens our presence in existing regions and notably expands our Audit practice. With Covades, we add a new label to the service portfolio within the Vallei Finance Group. As a result of these acquisitions, we can continue to offer our colleagues challenges and growth opportunities while enabling the organization to expand its services to clients. Service and quality remain our driving forces.”

The partners and employees of Arep and Covades will remain part of the organization, ensuring clients and relationships retain their trusted contacts.
