Placement fees, secondments and hourly rates each need different accounting. We make sure you see what you earn per client and per candidate, and that your payroll taxes (loonheffingen) are right.

Specifically for recruiters

What we pay extra attention to for recruiters.

Fees, secondment and temporary staffing

A placement fee is recorded differently from an ongoing secondment. We set up your accounts for each revenue model.

Registration and chain liability

If you hire out workers, you normally need to be registered, and liabilities may apply (ketenaansprakelijkheid). We help you keep this in order.

Staff and candidates on your payroll

We process candidates employed by you in the payroll administration, including payroll tax returns.

Costs we often see for recruiters.

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 recruiters

What do I need to arrange if I second staff?+

When you provide workers to third parties, a registration requirement usually applies and liabilities may come into play. We help you with the administrative side.

Do you handle payroll for seconded candidates?+

Yes, for a fixed fee per payslip, including payroll tax returns and annual pay statements (jaaropgaven).

Does a BV make sense for a recruitment agency?+

Often, yes, because of the risk and growth that come with having staff. We discuss the structure during the intro call.

Am I tied to a contract as a recruiter?+

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.
