Accounting Cleanup in the Netherlands
We fix the mess underneath your numbers so every report can be trusted. Delivered to Dutch GAAP (Title 9) for Dutch businesses, priced in EUR.
Dutch files break on the reverse charge and on intra-community supplies. When 21% and 9% output, BTW verlegd and ICP-reportable sales collapse into one code, no quarter reconciles and the ICP listing disagrees with the return. We separate them in Exact Online, restate the BTW positions, and bring the accounts back to a Title 9 presentation the KvK filing can rest on.
Duplicate entries, a bloated chart of accounts, miscategorised transactions, unreconciled balances — cleanup is different from bookkeeping. We diagnose and repair the structural problems in your file so your financials become accurate, auditable, and investor-ready.
The deadlines we track against your ledger.

Exact Online
Exact Online and Twinfield dominate Dutch practice, and EU cross-border sellers usually run One Stop Shop reporting alongside the domestic BTW return.
