We are the remote CFO who moves your business forward. Our combination of disciplines is one of our key assets. It provides you not just with a huge network, but also with a wealth of expertise.

Meet our team


Experienced seniors, young talent and everything in between: we have a balanced team of professionals. What they all have in common is drive, a down-to-earth attitude and decisiveness.

Working at ECFG


At ECFG, we combine the best of two worlds of finance: consulting and investing. This means that with us you can not only realize the growth ambitions of entrepreneurs, but especially those of yourself.

How it all started


ECFG was founded in 2007 by Hans Bloemen and Ruben Baijens in order to help promising entrepreneurs with knowledge, capital and the right contacts.

Responsible investment


With our investments, we aim to make a positive contribution to people, the environment and society. Our ESG policy is a sanitising factor in everything we do.
