Backoffice as a Service — plain English

Not just bookkeeping. Your entire backoffice, handled.

Monthly bookkeeping, VAT (BTW) filings, invoicing to your own clients, and a plain-language dashboard — for expats and international entrepreneurs in the Netherlands. Explained in plain English, by an accountant who's navigated this system herself.

Ex-KPMG Ex-PwC Financial Controller (NL) 15+ Years Experience
Monthly bookkeeping — categorized, reconciled, and ready to file, every month
Quarterly VAT (BTW) filings handled and explained — no surprises, no missed deadlines
We invoice your own clients for you, and follow up on late payments
A monthly dashboard so you always know where you stand
Optional add-on: OSS/IOSS cross-border EU VAT prep, from €65/mo (if you sell B2C in other EU countries)

OSS/IOSS prep applies to businesses established in the Netherlands/EU. We are not a registered IOSS intermediary — non-EU businesses must appoint their own EU-based intermediary separately; we can verify and reconcile that arrangement for you.

From €185/month — €125/month for your first 3 months, for 0–20 transactions/month

Higher transaction volume, multiple entities, or a BV? Bookkeeping starts from €500/month — get a custom quote.

Sound familiar?

What nobody explains before you start a business here

The Netherlands is a great place to run a business — but the administrative system isn't built to explain itself in English.

KVK and BTW in a language you don't speak

Forms, deadlines, and Dutch tax terminology that even Google Translate gets wrong.

Not sure which accounting software fits

Exact Online and Moneybird work differently, and picking the wrong one — or not knowing you can automate invoices with Basecone — costs you months of cleanup later.

The first year is the hardest

Quarterly BTW filings, gebruikelijk loon if you have a BV, and deductions that only apply if you know to claim them.

What's included in Backoffice as a Service

Everything you need to stay compliant, every month

Ongoing bookkeeping, tax compliance, and client invoicing — so you never have to translate a Belastingdienst letter again.

Monthly bookkeeping — categorization, reconciliation, and clean financial reports
Quarterly VAT (BTW) filing — prepared, reviewed, and filed on time
We create and send invoices to your own clients, and chase late payments
A monthly dashboard — revenue, expenses, and cash flow, in plain English
Direct access by email or call — questions answered within 48 hours
Works with Exact Online or Moneybird — whichever fits your business

Your dashboard data is processed under the same client agreement as your bookkeeping, hosted on EU servers, and access is protected by a private, password-protected link. It's never sold or used for advertising, and shared only with the service providers needed to deliver it, under contract. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Have a BV?

Annual accounts (jaarrekening) and KVK filing

BV entities are legally required to file annual accounts with the KVK — eenmanszaak/ZZP are not. If you have a BV, this is handled as part of your annual close, from €950/year.

We work with the system that fits your business best

Exact Online Moneybird

+ Basecone as an add-on to Exact Online, to automate invoice capture

"I understand what it's like to arrive in a new country and have to decode a tax system in another language. I've worked inside international firms and Dutch companies — I know the system from the inside, and I explain it in plain English, without half-translations."
