Best fit
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.
Best for: Solo consultants who use 3+ tools and spend time manually transferring data between them.
Why pick it: Largest app ecosystem (8,000+). Free tier covers 100 tasks/month — enough for most solo consultants. No coding required.
Watch for: If your tools have native integrations that cover your needs, Zapier adds unnecessary complexity. Also overkill if you only use 1-2 tools.
