Startup and SME accounting in 7 European countries
We keep the books for startups and small companies, covering bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and year-end, on software we built ourselves. Your team invoices, forwards bills and approves expenses without ever seeing a debit or a credit. Our accountants handle the rest.
Run by a working accounting bureau · Hosted in the EU · Your data always belongs to you
Who we work with
From incorporation to Series A. Cross-border VAT, founder expenses, first hires and books that survive due diligence.
Accounting for startupsAgencies, consultants, trade and service companies. A named accountant, a fixed monthly price and a desk your office team can use.
Accounting for small companiesWhy we built this
Most small companies pay a bureau and a software licence, and still email PDFs back and forth.
Office staff get lost in charts of accounts and VAT codes they should never have to see.
Expanding to a second EU country usually means a second accountant, a second tool and a second login.

Software

Questions
No. In Operator mode you never see accounts or VAT codes. If you choose Full service, our accountants do the accounting.
Because they depend on your country, your volume and the modules you need. After a short call you get a fixed monthly quote, no hourly surprises.
Yes. Choose Software only and invite them.
Yes. The migration builder imports opening balances and open invoices from your previous tool, and checks they reconcile before you start.
That's exactly what we're built for: one login, one team, each company with its own country package.
No, on purpose. Invoicing, bookkeeping and approvals are desk work, and they deserve a proper screen. Forwarding a bill by email works from anywhere.
Yes, in AHQ Financials: ask about cash, margins or budgets in plain language. Your books sync there every month automatically.
On our own servers in the EU. For AI document reading you choose per company: EU-only processing with Mistral, or Claude with documents anonymised first. You can download a complete, password-protected archive of your company at any time.
30 minutes with an accountant, not a salesperson. We’ll tell you which of the three ways fits, and what it would cost you.
