Factuur Simpel is invoicing software for freelancers and small businesses in the Netherlands and Belgium who leave the bookkeeping to their accountant. Better than Excel. Simpler than accounting software. Create a correct invoice with your own logo in a few minutes: on your phone right after the job, or later on your computer. The app is in English; invoice PDFs use Dutch labels and amounts are in euros.
