The bookkeeper for freelancers who takes it fully off your plate.
As a freelancer you are your own salesperson, your own planner and your own bookkeeper. We take that last role over: your admin, your VAT and your income tax, fully out of your hands for a fixed amount per month. You get one bookkeeper who knows you and your business, and who you can simply message.

Why freelancers
choose Pebble.
One bookkeeper, every time
You get one person who knows you and your business. Send a message or call, and you reach the bookkeeper who already knows your file.
A fixed monthly fee
You know what you pay before we start. Does your business grow, or does your admin get bigger? Then we agree the new fee together, upfront and clear.
An answer usually the same working day
A question about a receipt, an invoice or your VAT? Send a message, and you will usually hear from us the same working day. Sometimes that answer is: I am looking into it, and I will come back to you tomorrow.

This is what we
handle for you.
Your admin and bookkeeping
You forward your invoices and receipts. A photo is enough. We process everything and keep your numbers up to date all year round.
Your VAT return
We calculate what you owe or get back and we file every quarter on time. You hear the amount in advance, so you know what to set aside.
Your income tax return
We file your return and take your deductions along: the self-employed deduction (zelfstandigenaftrek), the SME profit exemption (mkb-winstvrijstelling) and the investment deduction. We know these by heart, so you never have to read up on them.
Insight into your numbers
In one clear system you see how your business is doing: what came in, what went out and what is set aside for tax.
And when your business grows, we grow with you.
Wondering whether to stay a sole proprietorship (eenmanszaak) or move to a bv, the Dutch private limited company? Or thinking about your first employee? We have a register belastingadviseur (registered tax adviser) in house, so we calculate it through for you. If the step makes sense, we arrange the conversion as well. You stay with the same team while your business changes.

Switching is arranged
for you.
Do you work with a bookkeeper already, or have you kept your own books until now? Either way, the switch takes little effort on your side. If you work with a bookkeeper, we get in touch and make sure all documents are handed over properly. If you did it yourself, we collect your files and set everything up. Then we set up your admin and connect your systems, so your numbers are right from day one.
There is one thing left for you to do: say yes. We take care of the rest in the background while you keep working. And if you have questions during the switch, your own bookkeeper is there to answer them.
What entrepreneurs say.
Mijn vennootschap is niet ingewikkeld en ik zocht vooral deskundigheid, persoonlijke aandacht en een eerlijke prijs. Dat heb ik hier volledig gevonden. De kwaliteit is uitstekend, de communicatie snel en modern en een telefoontje of vraag wordt vrijwel altijd direct opgepakt. Ook een afspraak is vaak op korte termijn mogelijk.
Je merkt dat je hier geen nummer bent, maar een gewaardeerde klant. Voor mij is de prijs-kwaliteitverhouding simpelweg uitstekend. Ik kan dit kantoor dan ook van harte aanbevelen.

Curious what a bookkeeper
costs for your business?
Frequently asked questions.
Do I need a bookkeeper as a freelancer?
No, it is not required. You are allowed to file your own VAT and income tax returns. The real question is what that costs you in evenings and weekends, and what one missed deduction costs. If you would rather hand it over and know it is filed correctly and on time, that is exactly what we do.
What does a bookkeeper for freelancers cost?
At Pebble you pay a fixed amount per month, starting at €65 excluding VAT. What you pay depends on the size of your admin: the number of invoices, your bank transactions and whether VAT applies. You hear your fee before you decide, and it only changes if we agree it together first. If you are looking purely for the lowest price, we are probably not your match. If you want it handled and explained, we are.
Can I outsource only my tax return?
You can. We file income tax returns for freelancers who keep their own books. Keep in mind that we then work with the numbers you deliver, so there is less room to think along during the year. Most freelancers choose the monthly package for exactly that reason. Whichever you pick, you hear the price before we start.
I already have a bookkeeper. Is switching a lot of work?
For you it is one email. We contact your current bookkeeper, request your files and make sure everything is handed over properly. You can switch at any point in the year, also halfway through a quarter. We pick up your admin from the date we agree, so nothing falls between two stools.
How quickly do I get an answer?
Usually the same working day. If the answer needs research, you hear that too, plus when we come back to you. You never have to wonder whether your message arrived.
Do you work in English?
Yes. You can call, message and meet in English. We translate the Dutch letters from the Belastingdienst (the Dutch tax office) into plain language and tell you what they mean for you. Your returns are filed in Dutch, because the tax office requires it, and you get the explanation in English.

Ready to hand your books over?
Fifteen minutes is enough to find out whether we are a match. You tell us what
your business does and how your admin looks now. We tell you what we would
take over, how we would set it up and what you would pay per month. No
preparation needed, and you are not committed to anything afterwards.
