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

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.

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.
