What does invoicing software do?

Invoicing software keeps your customer details, products and invoices together. Select a customer, enter the products or services you supplied and create an invoice to send. When another project comes along, reuse the information you saved. That means less copying of old documents, retyping amounts and keeping track of separate files for each customer.

Factuur Simpel is for freelancers and small businesses in the Netherlands and Belgium who send their own invoices and quotes and leave the bookkeeping to their accountant. It is the step up from Word or Excel: customers, products and invoices in one place, with the next invoice number and your logo added automatically. The app works in English; invoice PDFs use Dutch labels and euros. If you want to do your own bookkeeping or need recurring invoices or several users, accounting software is a better fit.

From customer details to a sent invoice

Invoice workflow: choose a customer and service, enter your hours and send the invoice.
Example: choose a saved customer and service. Two hours at €75 gives €150 excluding VAT. Send the invoice by email and track which invoices are unpaid or paid.
  1. Set up your business and branding

    Enter your business details and add your logo and background. Save customers and the products or services you use often. For example, store a description of your usual service as a product. When you create the next invoice, reuse those details and adjust them to match the work you completed.

  2. Turn your work into a clear invoice

    Select your customer and add the products or services you delivered, with quantities, prices and the applicable VAT rate. Factuur Simpel calculates the amounts for you. The invoice shows your customer what the work covers and how the total is made up. Review the details and it is ready to send.

  3. Send it and keep track

    Send the invoice by email, or use Peppol when your business is connected and your customer can receive invoices through the network. Find your invoices in your account and keep track of outstanding payments. If a customer asks about a particular invoice later, you can return to it without searching through separate documents.

Invoicing software or accounting software?

Accounting software handles your entire administration, from bank transactions to tax returns. Invoicing software focuses on the work you do every week: quotes, invoices, customers and expenses. Factuur Simpel is deliberately invoicing software. You see what you have invoiced and what is still unpaid, without bookkeeping knowledge.

Working with an accountant? Then there is no need to pay for an accounting module you won't use. Export your invoices and receipts and hand them over. With Complete you also have a VAT overview at hand when your return is due.
