Get your evenings back, leave the paperwork to us
If you do it yourself, your paperwork costs you time every quarter: looking for receipts, checking entries, filling in the return. Doing your own bookkeeping seems cheap until you count the hours you cannot invoice. After outsourcing, you simply submit everything via the app. Processing and filing returns is our job.
- You supply, we process and file the return

Administration and tax returns in the hands of an accountant
As an entrepreneur, you are legally obliged to keep proper records and retain them for at least seven years. If they are incomplete, the tax authorities can determine your turnover and profit themselves, and you have to prove otherwise. At Van Passe, processing, your VAT returns and your income tax return are included in the package, with one dedicated accountant as your point of contact.
- VAT returns and income tax return included

A software package posts, an accountant advises
An accounting program records what you enter, but doesn't tell you what you forget. You ask your regular accountant questions about expenses you can claim, business mileage and your income tax return. In the monthly 1-on-1 meeting you go through your figures. In the dashboard you keep your own overview of your income, expenses and VAT. You outsource the work, not the overview.
- A dedicated accountant who thinks proactively with you
- Personal
One dedicated accountant, reachable via WhatsApp
Outsourcing doesn't mean you become just an account number. You get a single dedicated accountant as your point of contact, who knows what is happening in your records. A question about an invoice, a purchase or your VAT can be sent via WhatsApp or email, as often as you like. Every month you can also schedule a one-to-one meeting to discuss your figures and plans.
- Asking unlimited questions to your own accountant
Outsourcing bookkeeping: who does what
Outsourcing is not just throwing everything over the fence. This is the division of tasks, so that you know in advance where you stand.

We
We will take this over
Processing your purchase, sales and bank transactions, your VAT returns, the EC sales list if applicable to you and your income tax return as an entrepreneur. Your dedicated accountant will be your point of contact throughout.

You
You still do this yourself
You create and send invoices in the app, scan receipts and forward purchase invoices to your own mailbox. Bank transactions come in via the bank feed. Business mileage and hours are tracked in the same app. With those hours, you substantiate the 1,225-hour criterion for the self-employed deduction.
How to keep on top of things yourself
In the dashboard you can see your income, expenses and VAT. If you want to know what those figures mean for your tax or an investment, you schedule the monthly 1-on-1 meeting. In between, everything goes via WhatsApp or email.

Die kent je onderneming en weet wat er eerder is besproken. Met vragen ga je via WhatsApp of e-mail steeds naar dezelfde persoon. Besteed je al uit, maar mis je één vast aanspreekpunt? Overstappen naar een andere boekhouder kan op elk moment van het jaar.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions business owners ask before handing over their bookkeeping.
How much does outsourcing bookkeeping cost as a sole trader?
Uitbesteden kan bij Van Passe vanaf €70 per maand (excl. btw). Dat is het all-in tarief Algemeen. Voor sommige branches geldt een hoger maandtarief: retail €120, margeregeling €140, e-commerce €150 en horeca €160. Welk tarief voor jou geldt, hoor je in de gratis kennismaking. Bekijk ook wat wij als boekhouder voor zzp’ers doen.
Are there any additional costs on top of the monthly amount?
The monthly fee covers the entire package, including the app and all your questions. You pay separately for an OSS return (€20 per month) and for large additional projects, such as a mortgage application: €85 per hour excluding VAT. Your fiscal partner's tax return is not included in the package. Set-up costs may apply; please ask about them during the introductory meeting.
Do I remain personally responsible if I outsource my bookkeeping?
Yes. You remain responsible to the Tax and Customs Administration for your records and tax returns, even if an accountant does the work. We handle the processing and the returns from the software package; you ensure that what you submit is complete and on time. The statutory retention period also rests with you: seven years, and ten years for data concerning real estate and OSS sales.
Am I tied to a contract if I outsource my bookkeeping?
No, there is no annual contract. You can cancel at any time and the subscription stops at the end of the month in which you cancel. If you are not satisfied, you are no longer tied to anything after the current month. Please note: the statutory retention period continues after cancellation. You must still be able to produce your records.
Can I also come to you if I have arrears?
Yes. We take on backlogs in your administration or tax returns; it is work that we do a lot. During the free introductory meeting, be honest about how things stand, even if there are already letters from the Tax and Customs Administration. Then we will discuss what is needed to clear the backlog.
