Who Zoho Books is for
If one of these sounds like your situation in Liège, this service is likely a good fit.
Bookkeepers and accountants onboarding clients

If invoices, bills and bank statements live in spreadsheets, Zoho Books centralises them and saves hours each month.
Problems Zoho Books solves
These are the issues we see most often with businesses in Liège.
Invoices that get paid late
Manual follow-up and unclear payment links slow cash. Reminders and online payment options shorten collection time. In Liège, a short workshop on this saves weeks later.
Stock and sales that do not agree
If inventory sits in a separate sheet, margins are guesswork. Linked items give real cost and stock figures. In Liège, aerospace teams often feel this most around Liège.
Tax set-up that does not match local rules
Wrong tax codes lead to wrong returns. In Liège, books must reflect 21% BTW/TVA and be ready for review by the FPS Finance and the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises. It is a frequent topic for aerospace owners across Liège.

Self-learning guide: Zoho Books step by step
Use this guide to understand the process, do parts of it yourself or judge whether a provider is doing it properly.
- 1
Connect banks and write rules
Link bank feeds, then add rules for repeat payees so categorisation happens automatically. In Liège, it helps to plan this around Central European Time working hours.
- 2
Create templates and a month-end routine
Brand invoice templates, enable reminders and write a simple month-end checklist with owners and dates. Ask about it early if your team works from Liège, Verviers or Seraing.
- 3
Configure taxes and numbering
Create tax rates and groups for BTW/TVA, then set invoice and bill numbering that suits your records. Teams in Liège usually raise this in the first call.
- 4
Import contacts, items and opening balances
Clean lists first, import in small batches and reconcile opening balances to your last trial balance. It is a frequent topic for aerospace owners across Liège.
Before you start: preparation checklist
Having these ready usually shortens the project.
Last trial balance and opening balances
Opening balances anchor the new books to your last agreed position.
Your accountant's preferred account structure
Matching your accountant’s structure avoids rework at year end.
Tax registration numbers and filing frequency
Tax numbers and filing frequency drive tax settings and return reports.
Common mistakes to avoid
Learning from others’ errors is the cheapest way to improve.
Using one expense account for everything
One catch-all account hides costs and makes analysis useless.
Leaving bank rules unchecked
Unchecked rules can categorise payments wrongly for months.
