For builders who work in English

You can build. Dutch paperwork is a second trade.

You're a builder in the Netherlands — from abroad, or simply working in English. The work is good; everything around it is Dutch: quotes, invoices, VAT lines, clients' emails, payment reminders. We run that back office for you — in English with you, in proper Dutch with your clients and suppliers.

The call is in English. No cost, no obligation.

Sound familiar?

Dutch clients expect Dutch

A tidy quote, a confirmation of extra work, an invoice with the right VAT lines — in good Dutch. Yours take twice as long and still read like a translation.

The rules are hard to read

What has to be on a Dutch invoice, which VAT rate applies to which job, what your bookkeeper needs from you and when. Not hard once you know it — but you have to know it.

Calls and emails pile up

Clients call and email in Dutch. Answering takes you three times the effort, so it waits — and waiting is how good clients quietly leave.

How it works

Exactly like for our Dutch clients — with one difference: the language line runs through us. You message us in English; your client hears from you in proper Dutch.

  1. You send a WhatsApp in English — a photo of a receipt, a note about extra work, a question from a client.
  2. We handle the Dutch side: the receipt into your books, a tidy extra-work confirmation to your client, the appointment in your calendar, the payment reminder on time.
  3. Anything that needs your judgement comes back to you in English — short and clear, so you can decide from the scaffolding.

What we don't do

We're not tax advisers, lawyers or an immigration desk. VAT filings and tax stay with your bookkeeper or accountant — we make sure they get everything on time and complete. Permits, visas and legal disputes: we'll tell you honestly that you need someone else, and we'll say so straight away in the intro call.

What it costs

The same fixed monthly packages as for every client, from €295 per month — no setup fees, cancel monthly. See the pricing on our main page. In the intro call we'll tell you straight away which package fits, and if it doesn't fit your business, we'll simply say so.
