Fractional Controller Services in the Netherlands

We give you accrual-grade accounting and management reporting you can run the business on. Delivered to Dutch GAAP (Title 9) for Dutch businesses, priced in EUR.

Why Dutch businesses choose Salt

A Dutch controller closes for two audiences: quarterly BTW and ICP for the Belastingdienst, and Title 9 annual accounts for the KvK. Cross-border EU trade is where the controls matter most, because reverse-charge errors stay invisible until the ICP listing disagrees with the return. We own the close in Exact Online and keep both reconciled to each other.

A fractional controller owns your month-end close, enforces internal controls, moves you to accrual accounting, and produces management reports leadership can actually use. It's the operational backbone beneath CFO-level strategy.

Exact Online

TwinfieldXeroMoneybirdAFAS

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

What this costs in practice

A worked example, in your currency.

An Amsterdam BV selling across the EU, 1,600 transactions a month, quarterly BTW.

In-house boekhouder (fully loaded, per month)
€ 4.900
Salt bookkeeping + BTW and OSS
€ 1.750
Monthly saving
€ 3.150

Figures in EUR. OSS reporting for EU distance sales is quarterly and separate from the domestic BTW return.

Standards and authorities

The framework your Netherlands accounts are held to.

We prepare to Dutch GAAP (RJ guidelines) or IFRS. These are the bodies that set that framework and the authorities you file with — linked so you can verify the standard rather than take our word for it.

Listed for reference. Salt Accounting Group is not stating membership, registration or affiliation with any of these organisations. Where a filing must be lodged by a registered local agent, it is — your agent keeps the lodgement and the professional sign-off.
