TMF Group B.V. (Trust Management Finance) is a Dutch multinational professional services firm headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The independent group provides accounting, tax, HR administration and global payroll services to businesses operating on an international scale. TMF Group, with 120 offices in 85 jurisdictions, employing more than 9,000 people, provides compliance and administrative services to over 35,000 clients in a €10 billion market.[2] It also has more than €160 billion in Assets Under Administration (AUA).[3]

History

TMF Group was founded in the Netherlands in 1988.[4] Between 2006 and 2009, when Pernille Fabricius sat as group CFO & COO and board member, TMF Group made 47 acquisitions including departments of Ernst & Young, KPMG, Grant Thornton and Baker Tilly in countries like Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, China and Australia.[5]

In October 2008, British private equity firm Doughty Hanson & Co bought TMF Group for €750 million.[4] In January 2011, Doughty Hanson completed its €350 million acquisition of Equity Trust. This paved the way for TMF Group's merger with Equity Trust, which was completed at group level in June 2011.[6]

In 2015, TMF Group acquired the Brazilian business process outsourcing unit from PwC, including delivery centers in Barueri, Rio de Janeiro and Ribeirão Preto, providing business process outsourcing services in finance & accounting, human resources, tax and compliance.[7]

On 27 October 2017, TMF Group was acquired by Europe's largest private equity firm CVC Capital Partners for €1.75 billion.[8][9]

On 11 August 2021, according to a report published by the Budgetary Monitoring Forum (FMO), a Dutch appeals court upheld a fine imposed by the De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) against the TMF Group for failings in due diligence related to the scandal of Mozambique's hidden debts. The scandal involved at least three corrupt officials from Credit Suisse, who have admitted to taking bribes, and officials of the Abu Dhabi-based shipbuilding group, Privinvest.[10]

In July 2022, CVC Capital Partners sold a near-50 per cent stake to the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority sovereign wealth fund, which will take a seat on TMF’s board. The deal valued the company at about €3 billion.[11]

In 2018, the Dutch supervisor De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) imposed a EUR 594,000 fine on TMF for insufficient due diligence in the management of an entity which lent US$850 million to Mozambique parties, earmarked for a tuna fishery. Loan funds were embezzled or used by Defence. [12]
