Follow the money, including the exceptions

  • Record partial and split payments, advances, credits and refunds.
  • Retain original PDFs for issued invoices and credit notes.
  • Follow outstanding amounts through reminders and reports.

See what needs attention

Use a work queue to find outstanding administration.

  • Review receipts before recording expenses.
  • Import supported bank statements.
  • Turn accepted quotes into draft invoices and generate recurring drafts when due.

Prepare a clear accountant handover

Make records easier for you and your accountant to review.

  • Review financial and VAT summaries and the activity history.
  • Export records and documents; complete local backups include attachments.
  • Review documents in the optional email outbox before sending.

THE IDEA BEHIND THE PROJECT

Made for independent work.

Rekenhaven follows the day-to-day work of a Dutch sole trader: serving clients, managing invoices and keeping clear records. The aim is to make administration easier to follow, including when someone else reviews it.
