What’s the difference between Xolo and other providers?


Xolo is the most comprehensible solution for your eenmanszaak business: we cover your needs from registration to reporting (and everything in between).

Xolo

  • All-in-one solution: an online platform combined with the best-in-class human support
  • Affordable fixed subscription due to automatised processes
  • English-speaking local accountants
  • International experience and automated VAT calculations to help you with invoicing international clients
  • Unlimited access to our online invoicing platform whenever, wherever

Other providers

  • Platforms and accounting aren’t usually offered together which makes managing them harder
  • Services might be priced hourly or per report so it’s hard to forecast your admin cost
  • Finding an English-speaking service provider often proves hard
  • Some service providers charge extra for invoicing international customers
  • Often no invoicing tool included so you’d have to manage your invoices in tools that are not optimized for that

Greater than just an accounting solution

Xolo gives you more. We’re here to change the way you freelance, taking care of all your paperwork and providing you the tools to focus on what's most important: your business.

Because there are more and more of us. We have created the first freelance community to put an end to the loneliness of being a freelancer.

Eenmanszaak is a sole proprietorship structure in the Netherlands which is fairly easy and quick to set up, allowing freelancers to start working almost immediately. If you plan to earn income that’s up to €73k a year, this might be the most suitable option for you. There’s also the small businesses scheme (KOR) which can be considered but this format has an income limit of €20k and migrating to eenmanszaak later on could be complicated. 


Freelancers in the Netherlands are referred to as zelfstandige zonder personeel, or ZZPers, which means that you’re self-employed and don’t have any workers employed by you.

If you are a Lite plan user, accounting and taxes are your responsibility. We provide data export opportunities so that you could manage your bookkeeping yourself or with the assistance of an external accountant.

If you are a Full plan user, you have virtually nothing to worry about. We take care of everything and the process on the platform is automatic:

  • Automatic calculation of taxes on each invoice. Every time you issue a new invoice, our platform will automatically add the corresponding taxes. We always take into account all the factors that can affect this calculation so that we don't make mistakes.

  • Coming soon. Real-time tax forecast. Whenever you log in to your Xolo profile, you can always check how much you will pay on your next tax returns. We take into account all your income and expenses so you can better organize your finances.

  • We file your taxes for you. You don't have to worry about anything. Our expert accountants will take care of all the paperwork every quarter and you won't have to do a thing. These are the reports submitted for you: 
    • Personal income tax declaration (Aangifte Inkomstenbelasting) - annually
    • VAT declaration Aangifte Omzetbelasting (BTW-aangifte) - quarterly/monthly
    • Annual financial statements (Jaarrekening) - annually 
    • Insurance declarations (Verplichte Verzekeringen) - annually 
    •  Reports of goods and services supplied to other EU countries (Opgaaf ICP ) - quarterly 
    • VAT refund requests for transactions outside the EU (BTW teruggave buiten EU) - as needed
    • Declaration of employment relationships (Melding Arbeidsrelaties) - as needed

Of course. At Xolo we have a commitment to every freelancer who chooses us.

For the Lite plan, you will be eligible for expert technical support when it comes to using Xolo’s online platform. 

For the Full plan, we offer comprehensive support. Unlike other online accounting services, Xolo will assign you an expert support specialist from the moment you sign up to take care of your case. No need to explain the same thing to 5 different people every time you need something.

Xolo is also the perfect option for those who are looking for a change of accounting service (you won't regret it, promise!).

We know that changes can be tricky (especially with providers that don't make it easy for you), so if you give us your consent we will take care of the transfer.



Xolo supports every step of your sole proprietorship journey and we’ll be happy to help you with deregistration, should you opt for that.
