Doing business in Amsterdam

Common sectors in Amsterdam and what matters for your books

Amsterdam is the financial heart of the Netherlands, a magnet for startups, scale-ups, and international companies.

Technology & IT

IT companies and tech start-ups in Amsterdam often do research and development. We record hours and costs so you can claim WBSO, and recognise licence and subscription income at the right moment.

Arts & culture

Artists and cultural entrepreneurs in Amsterdam have irregular income from commissions, grants and sales. Artists selling their own work may apply the reduced 9% VAT rate, and we check whether the small business scheme pays off.

Hospitality & catering

In hospitality and catering in Amsterdam, bookkeeping revolves around daily takings, the till and flexible staff. We reconcile till, card payments and bank daily, split turnover between 9% and 21% VAT and handle on-call staff in payroll.

Fashion

Fashion businesses in Amsterdam work with seasonal collections, returns and markdowns. We value end-of-season stock realistically and show which collections and channels actually deliver margin.

Example: how we approach it

An artist with irregular income

An artist from Amsterdam sells their own work, runs workshops and receives a grant. We split turnover by VAT rate — 9% for their own artworks, different rules for workshops — and keep the grant separate for reporting.
