Made for your next chapter. Clear about today.
PayRequest Bookkeeping currently supports Dutch bookkeeping in EUR on the invoice basis. It is a good fit if you already invoice through PayRequest and want purchases, payments and reports in the same account.
VAT returns are submitted separately. Payroll, automatic depreciation, multi-currency bookkeeping and XAF export are not included. CSV exports help you hand your records to an accountant.
Free books. Clear costs.
The free bookkeeping rollout is intended to remove a separate monthly software bill. Accepting online payments is a separate service: the PayRequest Free plan has a 2% standard platform fee, capped at €25 per successful payment, plus provider fees. Paid plans and bank-connection terms are separate.

Can I use the free bookkeeping software today?
Free access is rolling out. The current bookkeeping beta requires a Business account. A Free signup does not give access to Bookkeeping yet.
Does it submit my Dutch VAT return?
No. The VAT overview helps you review the figures and underlying postings. You submit the return separately.
Can I use my existing PayRequest invoices?
Yes. Review and confirm existing sales invoices and credit notes for the ledger, then match the relevant bank transactions.
Can I send the books to my accountant?
Yes. Export the journal, trial balance, VAT figures, profit and loss, balance sheet and current open items as CSV. Accountant login access and XAF export are not part of this module.
Does everything get booked automatically?
No. Choose your start date and opening balances, then review and confirm the documents and allocations. Existing history is not silently converted.
Is it suitable for a business outside the Netherlands?
The current ledger is designed for a Dutch administration in EUR using the invoice basis. An English or translated interface does not add another country’s tax rules.
Your payments tell half the story.
Bring the rest together.
Explore Bookkeeping and see how sales, purchases and payments fit into one clear workflow.
