Bookkeeping services, not a menu.

Something comes in, it gets posted, and something goes out to the Dutch authorities. That is seven services on paper and one thing in practice. You take them together, for one amount per month.

How it runs

Three streams in, three filings out.

Everything that arrives at the top comes back out at the bottom as something filed with a Dutch authority. Nothing in between is left to you.

Coming in

Receipts and purchase invoices What you buy, with the VAT you reclaim on it.
Invoicing and receivables What you sell, and who still has to pay you.
Payroll What your staff costs, every month again.

Your books, up to date every day

Posted to the right ledger account, matched against your bank and reviewed by your own accountant. This is where everything meets and where everything starts.

Going out

Every quarter Dutch VAT return Prepared, reviewed and filed with the Belastingdienst once you approve.
Every year Annual accounts and filing The year closed, and for a BV filed with the Chamber of Commerce.
Every year Income or corporate tax return Income tax or corporate income tax, from the same set of numbers.
Dutch tax deadlines watched Runs across the chain rather than inside it. Twenty-two dates a year, and none of them yours to remember.

The Dutch words

What the letters actually say.

You will run into these terms whatever accountant you pick, so here is what they mean. After that you can forget them again — reading them is our job.

  • btw-aangifte Your VAT return. Filed quarterly by default; monthly or yearly only in specific cases. The tax itself is called omzetbelasting.
  • Belastingdienst The Dutch tax administration. Everything we file goes to them digitally, so you never have to log in yourself.
  • KvK The Chamber of Commerce, where your company is registered. A BV also files its annual accounts there.
  • inkomstenbelasting / vennootschapsbelasting Income tax if you are a sole trader or partner; corporate income tax if you have a BV. One of the two applies to you, never both.
  • loonheffingen Wage taxes and social contributions on your payroll, filed monthly. Applies the moment you have one employee, including yourself in a BV.
  • KOR The small business VAT scheme. Under it you charge no VAT and file no returns, but you also cannot reclaim any. We tell you whether it pays off for you.

Everything above is filed by us, in Dutch, under your own name. What you see is an English summary with the amounts and where they came from.

Why together

We do the whole block.

Not because we want to sell as much as possible, but because doing half of it means waiting on the other half. This is what happens when the chain is cut up.

Someone else does the VAT Then they have to wait until we finish posting, and we wait for their corrections. The return goes out on the last day instead of two weeks before it.
You invoice in another package Then we only see your turnover once the money arrives, and we do not know who still owes you. A customer who forgets to pay goes unnoticed.
Payroll runs at a third party Then the journal entry arrives by hand, usually a month later. Until then your balance sheet does not add up.

Already have a payroll administrator you are happy with, or an accountant who does the year-end? Say so. We will look at whether it is workable and be honest if it is not.
