The challenge
Offering the best products and services for vision correction—from glasses to contact lenses, refractive surgery, and cataract solutions. At Verboon Oogadviseur, customers and patients alike are in the right place. The company has been based in Woerden, Utrecht, since its founding in 1965. In 1998, it passed from father to son.
Wouter Verboon shares, “My father was previously with another accountant in Gouda. When the business grew, he needed a more professional firm with greater experience. I continued the partnership because why change something that works well?”
Our approach
We support Verboon Oogadviseur with bookkeeping, payroll, annual reports, corporate tax returns, and advice on fiscal and legal matters.
Wouter explains, “Where we used to handle our administration elsewhere, you now manage everything. I get quick responses to my questions and know exactly who to approach for each issue. Relatively new for us is participating in an anonymous benchmark with Stolp+KAB clients in the optics sector. It’s very insightful to see how you compare financially with industry peers and where you might need to adjust.”
The result
Since 2002, Verboon has added an additional location in Woerden, and in 2011, Wouter brought on two partners. “There’s a lot involved with leasing a property and selling part of your business, including valuations and financing. Additionally, our BV became a partnership (VOF). With such complex matters, it’s great to have an accountant’s guidance. You handled this well.”
In the coming years, Verboon plans to focus more on eye care due to the aging population. Retail remains a turbulent market, with online sales rising rapidly, while optics is a more traditional field. “Exciting challenges that I look forward to tackling together with you,” says Wouter.
