Preservation Capital Partners announces investment in Vallei Finance Group

Fifteen years after its establishment, Vallei has developed into a full-service accounting and
advisory firm. Built on a strong foundation through both organic growth and acquisitions,
this growth has been largely financed from its own resources. As of January 1, 2025, PCP will
acquire a minority stake in Vallei, with the majority of shares remaining in the hands of the
current shareholders. This collaboration provides Vallei with additional momentum in accessing
(strategic) expertise and financial resources. PCP’s participation ensures sufficient equity to
continue this growth in a healthy balance with external financing.

Vallei aims to be the leading accountant and advisor for SMEs and large enterprises, focusing
on progressive business services for its clients. This also offers (future) colleagues
opportunities for growth, development, and an attractive work environment. The goal is to
expand existing services, develop new products and services, and further professionalize the
organization. This strengthens Vallei’s foundation for continued growth.

Marfred de Leeuw, Director/Founder of Vallei: “PCP specifically chose Vallei for its direct,
transparent, and trust-based culture, which fosters a strong connection and mutual trust.
This allows us the freedom to keep doing business as we have always done. As an accounting
and advisory firm with a social role, quality and professionalism combined with service will
remain paramount. We remain who we are: a motivated and fun team striving for progress
while prioritizing our colleagues. By retaining the majority of shares, we ensure control and
safeguard this cultural component.

Of course, there is a financial aspect to this partnership. The funds made available through
this partnership will be largely reserved for future growth. Considering the shareholders’ ages,
retirement is not on the horizon. As long as we remain healthy, everyone is committed to
Vallei for the long term. Moreover, our colleagues will also have the opportunity to participate
in our growth.”

Jeroen Bischops, Partner at PCP: “Our investment strategy is partnership-oriented,
allowing us to build sustainable growth businesses for the long term. Financial services and
accountancy are longstanding investment themes for PCP, and we have spent considerable
time finding the right partner. With Vallei and its management team, led by the driven
leadership of Marfred, we support one of the most dynamic financial service providers in
the Netherlands.

We have come to know Vallei as a company with a unique entrepreneurial culture, and
we greatly respect the organization it has become. The past years have been marked by
significant organic growth combined with a strong ability to attract and retain talent. We align
in valuing a strong culture and ambitious goals. We will do everything possible to sustain this
and provide support to further expand Vallei.”
