Yes, Accountable isn't just for sole traders: it also works for almost every company form. You can use Accountable to keep your company's administration, alongside your trusted accountant.

On this page, we go over which companies can use Accountable for their bookkeeping, taxes and business finances, and how.

Accountable offers plenty of benefits for companies, including a free business account for companies, an intuitive and user-friendly app for keeping your books up to date every day, and seamless collaboration with your accountant.

1. Which company forms in Belgium is Accountable suitable for?

All company forms can use Accountable to keep track of invoices and business expenses and, if you'd like, to file your own VAT returns through the app.

These are the most common company forms that use Accountable:

  • Private limited company (BV/SRL)
  • Limited partnership (CommV/SComm)
  • Public limited company (NV/SA)
  • Partnership (MS/SS)
  • Cooperative company (CV/SC)
  • General partnership (VOF/SNC)

The division of tasks is the same for every company form: Accountable covers your day-to-day administration, your accountant handles the obligations specific to your company form.

Working through a management company? In practice (legally speaking), that’s usually a BV, so you can use Accountable for that too.

2. What can Accountable do for your company?

  • Create and send professional yet personalised invoices (including e-invoices via the Peppol network).
  • Scan and upload expenses and purchase invoices from your smartphone or desktop, so you never lose a receipt again.
  • A real-time overview of your figures: income, expenses, and what's left net after tax.
  • Prepare and file your own VAT return with Accountable, directly with Intervat. No prior knowledge required.
  • Stop wasting time (and money) at the end of every quarter looking for invoices and receipts at your accountant's request.

Accountable also offers extra benefits for companies:

  • A free business account with payment card via Accountable Banking. We're the first and only provider in Belgium to offer a 100% free professional account for companies. Accountable Banking currently supports the following company forms: BV, Maatschap, CV, NV, VOF, CommV and VZW.
  • A tax guarantee of up to €10,000: if there's a mistake in your VAT return that results in a fine, we'll refund that fine, even if the mistake was yours. The tax guarantee doesn't apply in cases of deliberate errors, fraud or tax evasion.

3. Which parts of your business administration and accounting doesn't Accountable cover?

Accountable supports single-entry bookkeeping, not double-entry bookkeeping. Because of this, you can't file your corporate tax return, draw up your annual accounts, or keep the minutes of your general meeting with Accountable.

That's a deliberate division of tasks, not a shortcoming. These tasks stay with your accountant, while you use the Accountable app to keep your own bookkeeping up to date at all times. That saves your accountant many hours of admin work on your file.

4. Do you still need an accountant if you use Accountable as a company?

Yes, we recommend that all companies keep working with an accountant.

You can give your accountant free access to your administration in Accountable. That way, they can keep an eye on your figures and help you prepare your returns, without you losing time forwarding or exporting invoices and other documents yourself.

Does your accountant prefer working in their own software? No problem! With Accountable for Accountants, they can easily manage their clients in Accountable and export the records to their own trusted accounting software, such as Horus or Exact.

Meanwhile, you keep working in a simple, user-friendly tool. It really can be that easy.

5. Is Accountable suitable for management companies?

A management company isn't a separate legal company form, but a functional term for a company. In practice, it's often a private limited company (BV/SRL), through which you invoice your director's or management fee.

That means you can use Accountable as a management company too: you create your own invoices, process expenses and prepare your VAT return, while your accountant takes care of your corporate tax and annual accounts.

6. Does Accountable work for non-profit associations (VZW/ASBL) ?

A non-profit association is, strictly speaking, not a company but an association. Even so, they can also use Accountable to create invoices, manage purchase invoices and expenses, and prepare their VAT return through the app. For other obligations, such as the annual accounts, it's best to work with an accountant.

Non-profit associations can als open a free business account with Accountable Banking.

7. Conclusion: is Accountable suitable for companies?

Yes, with one clear caveat: you still need an accountant or bookkeeper for your corporate tax return, annual accounts and double-entry bookkeeping.

In return, you get transparency over your own figures, time savings (and money) for both you and your accountant, a free business account, and peace of mind during a tax audit.

For almost every company form, from BV to VZW, that easily outweighs the limitations.

The coaching session on tax management was excellent, good material, excellent explanations and very insightful. Combined with the AI I never feel alone with Accountable.

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 answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
