Très bien, disponibilité !

C’est hyper clair et le service est impeccable, vous répondez vite. La seule chose que j’ai remarqué qui pourrait être une nouvelle fonctionnalité: avoir la possibilité d’être plus précis au niveau de la détermination de ce qu’on paye pour nos cotisations sociales quand on a choisi un plan d’apurement. Par exemple, 300€ par mois au lieu que le choix soit juste par trimestre.

The coaching session on tax management was excellent, good material, excellent explanations and very insightful…my accountant and tax advisor are good, but never so comprehensive and accurate. Combined with the AI I never feel alone with Accountable

Le contact avec l'equipe ! On n'a pas affaire à un chat avec un robot stupide qui ne comprend rien mais avec des humains et un vrai dialogue

altijd snelle, vriendelijke en professionele service. Ook al heb ik door gebrek aan activiteit weinig gebruik kunnen maken van uw diensten. Gisteren heb ik het contract opgezegd, en ook dat is heel vlot verlopen. Waarvoor dank.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answer to most of the basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.
