Problems Zoho Accounting solves
These are the issues we see most often with businesses in Groningen.
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. Businesses near Delfzijl tell us this is where time is lost.
Tax set-up that does not match local rules
Wrong tax codes lead to wrong returns. In Groningen, books must reflect 21% BTW and be ready for review by the Belastingdienst and the KVK. Budget for this in EUR before you compare quotes in Groningen.
Invoices that get paid late
Manual follow-up and unclear payment links slow cash. Reminders and online payment options shorten collection time. In Groningen, we usually start here before touching anything else.
What you get with Zoho Accounting
Every project is documented, so your team understands what was built and why.
Month-end checklist and close calendar
We document the settings and the month-end steps in a short handbook.
Opening balances and historical clean-up
We set it up with your accountant and test it on sample transactions.
Automated recurring invoices, reminders and approvals
