For startups & entrepreneurs

From financial insights to lasting impact

At Diamond FMS, we help startups and growing businesses understand their finances. With our smart software and practical expertise, we make financial data easy to understand and help entrepreneurs make better decisions.

Promising ideas deserve a strong foundation

The right expertise, guidance and financial backing give good ideas a better chance of success. That’s why we actively put our expertise and software to work for startups, educational institutions and growing businesses.


 Together with TWICE, B’WISE, REWIN, Midpoint Brabant and The Gate Brainport we help startups and early-stage SMEs turn their ideas and ambitions into a financially sound business plan.


We also share our knowledge in education. We apply our expertise at institutions including Avans Hogeschool and Tilburg University
to support students in developing their financial and business management skills. In Ukraine we work with six partner universities, where Diamond has become an established part of the curriculum.


In this way, we actively help strengthen the connection between entrepreneurship, education and practice. Why do we do this? Because we want to use our knowledge and expertise not only to help businesses move forward, but also to make a positive contribution to society.

When does real impact happen?

 A good idea or a successful business does not automatically make an impact. Real impact happens when three elements come together: success, change, and financial or social returns.


Success alone is not enough. What matters is that results lead to meaningful change and that this change creates lasting value. These three elements cannot simply be added together; they reinforce one another. When one is missing, the overall impact is limited.


 That’s why we look beyond financial results alone. With our expertise, guidance and Diamond FMS, we help startups and growing SMEs turn their ambitions into achievable plans, informed decisions and sustainable growth. Our goal is not only to build successful businesses, but also to create positive change and lasting value.

From financial figures to better decisions

Financial figures show where a business stands. Their true value lies in turning them into clear management information and a well-founded strategy.


Elsman International Consultants has been helping businesses understand financial and business management challenges for more than 25 years. Our business management advice is backed by Diamond FMS: our in-house software, developed in response to the needs of our day-to-day consulting practice.


What do investments, financing challenges, cash flow pressures or the next stage of growth mean for your organisation’s future?


Diamond provides insight into the financial and strategic implications of different choices, which our consultants then translate into well-considered next steps. For more than 15 years, the software has been used for forecasting, financing applications, growth strategies, acquisitions, mergers, profit optimisation, investment planning and scenario analysis.


This turns financial figures into actionable insights that guide your organisation’s strategy.

Advice that looks beyond the numbers

An analysis is only valuable when it leads to concrete action. Our consultants combine business management, financial, strategic and legal expertise with Diamond FMS and personal guidance.



We look not only at your current financial position, but also at the opportunities, risks and implications of future decisions. This creates an approach that aligns with your business’s ambitions and financial reality, and helps turn plans into action.
