Best fit
Best for: Consultants managing multi-phase engagements with multiple stakeholders.
Why pick it: Strong free tier (up to 10 users) covers most solo and small-team needs. Portfolio view lets you track all client engagements in one place.
Watch for: If your projects are simple (3-5 tasks), a shared Notion doc is lighter. Asana shines when you have 10+ tasks with dependencies and deadlines.
Best for: Dutch-based consultants and freelancers (ZZP) who want bookkeeping fully handled, not another tool to manage.
Why pick it: Fixed monthly price includes a dedicated accountant who knows your file. Automated bank feeds from all major Dutch banks (ING, Rabobank, ABN AMRO, bunq) plus Stripe, Mollie, and Shopify. 48-hour migration from your current provider. 4.9/5 on Google Reviews.
Watch for: Only operates in the Netherlands with Dutch banking and tax rules. If you are outside NL or want DIY bookkeeping software, use a tool like Xero or QuickBooks instead.
