Don't just take it from us,

The platform is a one-stop-shop for all things solopreneurs need to operate their businesses. Although the dashboard is sleek and user friendly, it's extremely encouraging knowing that actual qualified humans are working on our specific cases and are there to support us.

What really makes Xolo great, though? The customer service. Xolo guides me and offers significant support whenever I need it. Even if there's a task that Xolo's dashboard doesn't immediately support, I can just send an email and either be shown how to do it or have it done for me. I'm an engineer, not an accountant. But with Xolo? I can be both.

So far, the team has been super responsive and helpful in getting me set up.
It feels super relieving to know that there is a proper Dutch accountant along with Xolo to ensure I don't make any mistakes in conducting business as a ZZPer in the Netherlands.
