Startup accounting.

Dutch bookkeeping, VAT and corporate income tax, run on a monthly close instead of a quarterly scramble. Books that a fund, an auditor or an acquirer can read without a reconstruction project.

Sound familiar?

Compliant books are not the same as usable books.

Plenty of startups file on time and still cannot answer a basic question about last month. The filing calendar is met; the management information is not.

Are our books actually current, or just filed?
Can we survive a data room request next quarter?
Is our revenue recognition defensible?
Are we claiming everything we are entitled to?
Who talks to the Belastingdienst when a letter arrives?
What happens to our books when we add a foreign entity?
What we run

The full Dutch compliance stack.

Everything between your bank account and the Kamer van Koophandel, run on a calendar you can plan around.

Bookkeeping & monthly close

Transactions processed continuously and the period closed on a fixed date, so your numbers are usable while they still matter.

VAT returns

Dutch VAT returns and ICP declarations prepared, reviewed and filed, including the cross-border cases that come with selling into the EU.

Corporate income tax

CIT returns and provisional assessments, including the loss carry-forward position that matters when you are pre-profit.

Annual accounts

Annual accounts under Dutch GAAP, filed with the KvK, prepared so your investors and auditor do not come back with questions.

Revenue recognition

Subscription, usage and milestone revenue recognised consistently — the number your ARR reporting is built on.

Payroll coordination

Payroll, wage tax filings and the 30% ruling administration, coordinated with your payroll provider and booked correctly.

How it works

A calendar, not a scramble.

01

Take-over

We take the administration over from your current provider, including the file and opening balance. You do not have to run that conversation.

02

Connect

Your banks, billing system and accounting stack are connected so transactions arrive automatically instead of being retyped.

03

Close monthly

We process during the month and close on a fixed date. There is no quarter-end catch-up because nothing was left behind.

What you get out of it

Books that never become the bottleneck.

  • Filings on time, without reminders from the tax authority
  • A data room request that takes days rather than weeks
  • Revenue recognised consistently enough to report ARR on
  • One point of contact for every Dutch compliance question
  • The foundation the reporting and FP&A layers build on

Frequently asked

Questions we get a lot.

We are a foreign founder with a Dutch BV. Can you help?+

Yes. Working with founders who are not based in the Netherlands is normal for us — everything runs through the portal in English, and we handle the Dutch-language correspondence with the authorities.

Can you work with our existing accounting system?+

We work in Exact Online or Moneybird, in your own environment. If you are on something else, we will tell you honestly in the intro call whether migrating is worth it.

Do you handle the 30% ruling and payroll?+

We coordinate payroll with a specialist provider and make sure it is booked correctly, including the 30% ruling administration. Payroll itself is an add-on rather than part of the base package.

What about R&D incentives like WBSO?+

We flag where you may qualify and process the administration once a scheme is granted. The application itself we do together with a specialist, so you get advice from someone who does it full time.

Are you an audit firm?+

No. We prepare the books, annual accounts and filings. If you need a statutory audit — which most startups do not until they cross the size thresholds — we work alongside a registered auditor and deliver the file.

Want books that keep up?

Book a 30-minute intro call. We look at your stage, your current setup and your filing obligations, and tell you exactly what we would run.
