⚠️ Only the accounting entries and admin fees can be encoded in the app as a deductible cost.

1/ What kind of documents and how to encode them as an expense?

You only need to encode the accounting entries document (“écritures comptables”) + Administrative fees invoice that you can request to the Social secretariat that issues payslips.

1.1 How to encode the accounting entries?

→ For the amounts in the debit column:

🚨 You have to encode the amounts in the debit column only for the general account (=compte général in the doc) that starts with 6:

💡In the category Compensation > Director's compensation:

→ For the amounts in the credit column

🚨You need to take the amounts in the credit column only for the general account that starts with 6 or 7 and create a credit note in the category Compensation > Director's compensation:

Eco-voucher may appear in accounting entries under an account starting with 6**, but they can not be included in the encoding.

1.2 How to encode Administrative fees invoice?

→ Encode the invoice in the expense in the category Legal & other fees > other fee:

💡Double-check the VAT amount on the invoice to ensure that it corresponds to the VAT amount in the expenses incurred.


2/ Mistakes to avoid

Never encode in the expense tab: Précompte invoices !!!

Example of Précompte invoice:

Freelancers and companies you hire are not employees. Their invoices must be encoded in the "Subcontracting" category

If you receive a file called “Compte d’entreprise”, this is not to be encoded in Accountable. This is the recap of the year.

Le suivi par mail de votre service est appréciable. J’ai été étonné de devoir communiquer mon no de compte bancaire et surtout de donner un accès consultatif à celui-ci. Mais je vous l’avais déjà évoqué en vous précisant la raison. Bien cordialement François Bellière
