An Accountable alternative for businesses that mainly invoice
Accountable is an app for self-employed people in Belgium that combines bookkeeping, tax returns and a business account. If you mainly send invoices and quotes and your accountant handles the rest, Factuur Simpel is a focused alternative: unlimited invoicing in the browser and the apps, quotes your client signs online and Peppol in Complete.
No payment details needed. After 30 days, you choose Starter or Complete.
