Geplaatst op Sabine Heel erg tevreden met Van Passe als boekhoudkantoor. Mahmut is zeer professioneel, alles is heel goed geregeld en je kunt ze ten alle tijden bereiken, via WhatsApp, ze reageren vrijwel direct. Ik kan ze absoluut aanbevelen.Geplaatst op Wandifa Sanneh Highly recommended this diligent and professional bookkeeping and accounting service provider. Mahmut did me fantastic. My problem was complex and span over expanded period but Mahmut offered me quick and easy fix and delivered on it, seamlessly! What I love the most about their service is our ability, as clients, to send our receipts and invoice via a custom and unique email, and my favorite alternative: uploading receipts and invoices via their app! The price is very reasonable and definitely worth the services they are providing.Geplaatst op Sandy Kane Great experience, Mahmut is always happy to help!Geplaatst op Djivan Biharie Top boekhouder!Geplaatst op Sophie de Jong Sinds ik ben gestart met van Passe heb ik veel meer inzicht in mijn inkomen en kan ik al het administratieve uit handen geven. Het is heel gemakkelijk en het fijnste vind ik de persoonlijke begeleiding. Ik zou van Passe aan iedereen aanraden!Geplaatst op luciana martinez medeiros Heel tevreden ! Staan altijd klaar om mijn vragen te beantwoorden en begeleiden mij door mijn boekhouding op een manier dat ik het ook begrijp !Geplaatst op Sam F If I could give 10 stars I would. Unfortunately i had a bad experience with another accountant and I was really searching a long long time for the right accountant. I think God really listened to me because I somehow stumbled on Van Passe website and I immediately thought this is the right team. I talked to Mahmut and we're going to start redoing 2025 fully again to make sure all mistakes are corrected. He is very professional and they answer messages very fast and detailed. I highly recommend Van Passe!!Geplaatst op Joon Ho Hong Van Passe is a small yet very professional provider for freelancers. They are clear with their price and live up to it. The contact between the client and provider is fast and efficient.Geplaatst op P. Meijer, Van passe helpt mij met alles wat ik niet kan en wil doen fantastisch contact met 1 persoon alles optijd en netjes geregeld altijd bereikbaar voor een vraag en vriendelijke mensen wie je ook spreekt kortom top boekhouder voor de eenmanszaak die op administratie gebied wat minder sterk is bedankt voor dit alles groet[ Puck ]Meijer-Tuinen

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are frequently asked questions relevant for self-employed workers in the construction industry
Should I charge VAT on all my jobs?
It depends on the client and the type of work. If you work privately, you usually charge 21% or 9% VAT. If you work for contractors or business customers, other rules apply, such as the reverse charge mechanism. We will help you determine what applies when, so you can be sure you get it right.
Do I need an accountant?
Many builders try to do the administration themselves at first, but soon run into questions about deductions, VAT or timekeeping. With an accountant, you avoid mistakes, save time and often get more out of your figures. We make sure everything is correct, but you remain in control.
Which costs can I deduct all of them?
More than you think. Think about tools, work clothes, transport, business telephone costs, further training and much more. What is and what is not deductible varies per situation, and we would be happy to help you get the most out of your business.
How often do we have contact when I become a customer?
You decide. Some clients talk to us every month, others mainly around their VAT returns. You always have a fixed contact person and can easily reach us by e-mail, phone or WhatsApp. We are there when you need us, not only for questions, but also to think along with you.
Send us a WhatsApp or give us a call. We’re happy to help!
