From now on, you can set up recurring expenses automatically in Accountable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>That means saving time and money, because with recurring expenses, you\u2019ll never forget to log a cost in your bookkeeping again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are recurring expenses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recurring expenses are business costs that occur monthly or quarterly. Up until now, you&#8217;ve had to log these manually in Accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many of these costs, you\u2019ll receive a receipt or invoice, but not always. And it&#8217;s usually the ones without a document that are most often forgotten in your bookkeeping. Think of things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>rent for your office, workspace, or shop<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bank fees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also regular costs where you usually do get an invoice or payment request, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>subscriptions and software<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>social contributions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>professional insurance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>car leasing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>phone bills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>internet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thanks to our new Recurring Expenses feature, you can now set these regular costs to be logged automatically in Accountable, every month or quarter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do recurring expenses work in Accountable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now set up recurring expenses in just a few clicks. <strong>The cost will automatically show up in your bookkeeping monthly or quarterly, without having to anything yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All you have to do is review the expense and upload the correct attachment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve linked your bank account and the payment goes out to the same supplier, the transaction will automatically be matched to the right expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating a recurring expense<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how to set it up in Accountable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the Expenses screen in Accountable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the expense you want to make recurring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next to the date, click &#8216;Make recurring&#8217;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose the frequency, start date, and optionally an end date<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click &#8216;Continue&#8217;, then &#8216;Save&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"598\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 960 \/ 598;\" width=\"960\" autoplay loop muted src=\"https:\/\/www.accountable.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/recurring-expenses_web.webm\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stopping or editing a recurring expense<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to stop or change a recurring expense? Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the Expenses screen in Accountable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the recurring expense you want to change or stop<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next to the date, click &#8216;View recurring schedule&#8217; (the circular arrows icon)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click &#8216;Stop recurring expense&#8217;, then confirm with &#8216;Yes&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>That expense will no longer appear automatically in your expenses. To change a recurring expense, delete the current schedule and set up a new one.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coming in 2026: Automatic expenses via PEPPOL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting January 2026, e-invoicing via Peppol will be mandatory for all invoices between VAT-registered businesses. Supplier invoices will then appear automatically in Accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So is this new feature still useful after e-invoicing implementation? Absolutely!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up recurring expenses remains a handy tool for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>expenses without a receipt or invoice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>self-employed professionals who are not VAT-registered (like doctors, dentists, physiotherapists, psychologists, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re not VAT-registered, you&#8217;re not subject to the new e-invoicing rules, which makes this feature even more valuable for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We\u2019d love to hear what you think!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Have you already tested recurring expenses?
