The problem

You already recognise the pattern.

Finance only becomes urgent when the numbers are suddenly needed.

  1. The books lag behind

    Receipts get chased at quarter-end, VAT is filed at the deadline and nobody knows what last month looked like.

  2. The numbers are not there when they matter

    A term sheet, first hire or due-diligence request lands and the financials need two weeks of catch-up.

  3. A generalist accountant

    Priced and paced for an SME, without the reporting rhythm or urgency a founder-led company needs.

The service

What a founder gets.

We set up the accounting properly, keep it current and remain available when something changes.

In every monthly plan

  • Books kept current throughout the month
  • Invoices and receipts processed continuously
  • VAT returns filed on time
  • Annual accounts and corporate income tax
  • Proactive deadline tracking
  • A direct line to your accounting team
  • A consistent team that knows the business

Setup & catch-up

  • Chart of accounts structuring
  • Historical reconciliation
  • Transfer from the previous accountant
  • Data clean-up
  • Opening balance review

Catch-up work is scoped and priced separately before we start.

How it works

From introduction to running rhythm.

1

Intro call

We look at the company, the current setup and what needs attention first.

2

Setup & catch-up

We structure the books, reconcile history and manage the handover.

3

Monthly rhythm

Books stay current, documents get processed and deadlines stay visible.

4

Year-end

Annual accounts, CIT and filings without a year-end reconstruction project.

Why founders choose us

Three things accounting has to get right.

01

Responsive support

Startup context

We understand funding rounds, runway, investor requests and companies that change every quarter.

03

Fit

Is Startup Accounting the right fit?

We work best when founders value reliable numbers and a team that can grow with the company.

  • Dutch BV, founder-led, pre-seed to Series B
  • Up to roughly 500 transactions per month
  • Starting fresh or switching accountants
  • Group structures and cross-border activity
  • Wants books that hold up during due diligence

Probably not a fit

  • Sole traders and hobby projects
  • Very high-volume retail or e-commerce operations
  • Companies needing a statutory audit opinion
  • Anyone shopping purely on price
  • Companies looking for once-a-year bookkeeping

FAQ

Questions founders ask.

The short answers on scope, pricing and switching accountants.

What does startup accounting with you include?

Every monthly plan includes bookkeeping kept current throughout the month, continuous processing of invoices and receipts, VAT returns filed on time, annual accounts and corporate income tax, proactive deadline tracking and a direct line to a consistent accounting team that knows your business.

How much does it cost?

Plans are banded by transaction volume: Foundation from €249 per month (up to 50 transactions), Build from €399, Scale-up from €549 and Advanced from €749 (301–500 transactions), excluding VAT. Payroll starts at €20 per payslip. Catch-up work is scoped and priced separately before we start.

Can I switch from my current accountant?

Yes. We manage the transfer from your previous accountant, reconcile the history, review the opening balance and clean up the data, so the books are structured properly from the moment we take over.

Do you work in English?

Yes. Startup Accounting is built for founders in the Netherlands, including international teams, and offers English-speaking support alongside full Dutch compliance.

Which startups are a good fit?

Founder-led Dutch BVs from pre-seed to Series B with up to roughly 500 transactions per month, whether starting fresh or switching accountants. Group structures and cross-border activity are fine. We are not the right fit for sole traders, very high-volume retail or companies that need a statutory audit opinion.

Will my books be ready for due diligence?

That is the aim. Books are kept current every month instead of reconstructed at year-end, so when an investor, term sheet or due-diligence request arrives, the numbers are already there.

What if I need reporting, forecasting or a CFO later?

Startup Accounting is part of Ledgra. When you need monthly reporting, burn and runway, forecasts, investor reporting or fractional CFO support, Ledgra adds it without another handover.
