What is Exact Online and who is it for?
Exact is a Dutch software company founded in Delft in 1984. Exact Online is one of the most widely used cloud accounting solutions among SMEs and accounting firms in the Netherlands and Belgium. Next to the bookkeeping (Boekhouden) edition it grows into a full ERP with trade (Handel), manufacturing (Productie), project and payroll modules.
Its strength is scalability: it starts as a straightforward bookkeeping tool for a single BV and adds stock management, multi-currency, multiple administrations and Power BI reporting as the company grows. That is why we recommend Exact Online in particular for holding structures, import-export trading companies and subsidiaries that report in detail to a parent company in Türkiye.
For a one-person company with few invoices Exact Online can be heavier and more expensive than needed; Moneybird or Minox usually fit better. In the intro call we give an independent recommendation based on your volume and plans.
How we work in Exact Online
The licence is opened in your name and paid by you; the data stays in your account and we work through bookkeeper access. You can move to another office at any time; we never hold your data hostage.
The monthly routine: you issue sales invoices from Exact or we do it for you; you forward purchase invoices and receipts to Scan & Herken by e-mail; bank transactions arrive automatically through the bank feed. We close the books every month, prepare the VAT return, obtain your approval and file. At month end you receive a one-page management report.
At year-end we prepare the annual accounts and the corporate income tax return from the same data. Through the Peppol connection in Exact Online you can send UBL e-invoices to public bodies and to customers that require e-invoicing.
Cost: licence and service are separate
The Exact Online licence is paid directly to Exact; as of October 2026 the Boekhouden plans start at about € 49 per month and increase with the number of users, administrations and add-on modules (excl. VAT; see exact.com for current prices). If you already use Exact, your licence does not need to change.
Exonn Advisory's monthly bookkeeping packages (Compact, Standard, Partner) are independent of the software and cover bookkeeping, returns and annual accounts. Prices and scope are listed on the pricing page.
