Accountable gives you a real-time view of all your accounting data. Including a complete income statement (P&L file) in Excel format.
This allows you to take a step back from your financial situation and work in a more comfortable format to review past quarters or to plan for the future.
Go to the "Data export" screen
Select the "P&L"
Choose the period you want
Click on "Generate Export"
Click on "Download file"
Open the main menu
Click on "Data export"
Select "P&L"
Click on "Choose period"
Click on "Export data".
You will receive the file in your mailbox
Each fiscal year is presented on a separate tab:
Column "B" shows the list of P&L categories:
Columns "C" to "H" show the total for the year:
Columns "J" to "Y" show the total for each quarter:
The turnover is composed of your sales without VAT that have been recorded during the fiscal year:
Sale of goods
Sale of services
Your costs are split up by category. These are the same categories as in the app, and show the amounts as they were entered in the app.
To be properly recorded, an expense must meet certain conditions:
Have an invoice date
Have an associated category
Be attributed to the corresponding VAT quarter
Have a document attached (marked by the icon below on the web version)
Column C "Total amount, including private" shows the total amount of the category, including what is not allowed as deductible business expenses.
Column D " Professional amount excluding recoverable VAT " shows the same amount as in column C, expressed without VAT.
Column E "DNA in %" indicates the percentage of Non-Admissible Expenses, i.e. what is not considered deductible for this category.
Column F "DNA in value" indicates the non-deductible professional amount (= D x E).
Column G "Total deductible" indicates the deductible business amount (= D - F).
Finally, we integrate the depreciation and financial expenses to finally calculate the Profit before taxes.
The Profit before taxes is therefore :
+ Total turnover excluding VAT
- Deductible expenses without VAT
- Social security contributions
+ Capital gains
- Loss of value
- Amortization
- Financial expenses
= Profit before taxes
Based on your situation and the amount of your profit before taxes, we estimate the amount of your taxes.
We then add the income from copyright.
The Profit after tax and copyright finally indicates the NET amount left in your pocket at the end of the fiscal year.

This program is a lifesaver, and it is always improving. Plus, it has an AI chat feature that is actually useful.

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.
