Why choose TaxMate?
MoneyBird is a tool, TaxMate is a partner
MoneyBird is excellent software for invoicing and keeping your administration. But it does not solve your tax problems. Preparing annual accounts, filing income tax, appealing to the Tax Authority: you have to do that yourself or hire an accountant. TaxMate takes on that role fully.
Comparable total cost, but more value
MoneyBird starts at €18 per month. But for complete bookkeeping you still need an accountant on top of that. An independent accountant charges on average €500 to €1,500 per year for a freelancer. TaxMate is all-in: software, accountant, tax filings, and advice, all for one fixed price from €50 per month.
You do not need to know about bookkeeping
MoneyBird is intuitive, but you still need to know what you are entering. Categories, VAT rules, private use of business costs, small mistakes can lead to fines or additional assessments. At TaxMate you only need to provide your receipts and bank details. Your personal point of contact processes everything correctly and proactively points out optimisations.
One invoice, one point of contact
With MoneyBird you pay for the software and also have an external accountant working with their own tools. Miscommunication and duplication of effort are common. At TaxMate everything is integrated: MyTaxMate is built for your accountant and vice versa. One point of contact, one portal, one monthly amount without surprises.
