FirmQ, founded in 2016, stands for:
Financial Integrity Risk Management Quality.
The founding partners of the company have combined years of experience on both compliance and software development. Both fields of expertise are equally represented and interact continuously. This approach creates extra added value.
At FirmQ, we believe in short lines of communication, clear responsibilities, and flexibility. That’s why we proudly present our managementteam – the primary point of contact for our clients and partners – supported by a flexible team of professionals.
Our back office ensures smooth administration and support. Account management maintains direct client relationships and safeguards the quality of our services. And our junior developers contribute every day to the innovation and continuous improvement of our solutions.
Together, they form the heart of FirmQ – always focused on quality, reliability, and progress.
With over 30 years of experience at ABN Amro, Ingeborg brings the necessary knowledge and expertise in the field of financial services and corporate governance. In a broader sense, her expertise mainly focuses on managing and supervising different teams, while at the same time shaping the organization as the pivot of the management team. Ingeborg has also set herself the goal of connecting the various stakeholders, varying from customers, employees as well as interest groups and the government. Just like Leon and Stijn, Ingeborg is a partner of the company and with her arrival FirmQ can further professionalize.
Leon and Stijn are at the cradle of FirmQ. With more than 20 years of experience as a software engineer, he is responsible for the construction of the product. His added value lies in the fundamental approach to the customer’s needs. His standard response to a new request is always “what exactly do you need it for?” after which he creates an application that already takes future developments into account. The last 14 years Leon specialized himself further in the GRC domain. His knowledge in the field of data driven risk analyzes is therefore very valuable to FirmQ.
After his time at ING Bank, Stijn has been working as compliance officer for financial institutes since 2005. His expertise focuses on product development and consultancy in the field of client research, risk analysis and sanction screening. Based on the idea that professional knowledge and experience must go hand in hand with the need for automation, he and Leon concluded that FirmQ should be the first to offer an online compliance back office.
