What we pay extra attention to for online marketers.
Recharged ad budgets
If you pay for ads on behalf of clients and recharge them, we record budget and fee separately, so your real revenue stays visible.
Foreign tools and reverse-charge VAT
We process invoices from Google, Meta and foreign SaaS suppliers in your return with the correct reverse-charge VAT.
Retainers and recurring revenue
We show monthly retainers and projects separately, so you know how predictable your revenue is.

Business expenses reduce your profit and therefore your tax. We make sure they are booked correctly and, where possible, that you make use of the investment deduction (investeringsaftrek).

FAQ
Frequently asked questions from online marketers
How do I process advertising costs from Google and Meta?+
These invoices usually come from Ireland with reverse-charge VAT. You declare the VAT and deduct it at the same time. We process this automatically.
Should I treat recharged ad costs as revenue?+
That depends on your agreements with the client. We look at your contracts and record it correctly.
When does a BV make sense for a marketing agency?+
Often when your profit is consistently higher, or when you work with partners or staff. We calculate it for you.
Am I tied to a contract as an online marketer?+
No. Your subscription can be cancelled monthly and you pay a fixed monthly fee, with no hourly billing.
Can I switch halfway through the year?+
Yes. We arrange the handover with your current accountant, including history, opening balance and ongoing tax returns.
