the work profiles and your way out

Your bookkeeping, always exportable, no lock-in.

The offboarding export of your bookkeeping needs no subscription and no particular work profile. The audit file, the accountant export, the journal and the bundle are part of Pro. Data ownership is a design principle, not a promise after the fact.

the exit bundle

If you leave, you export your bookkeeping:

  • invoices
  • journal
  • ledger
  • XAF audit file

You keep your receipts yourself, because the platform does not store files.

the worked example

You can check Lifetime yourself.

€750 one-off against Pro at €24.50 per month, including VAT.

Earned back in about two and a half years compared with Pro; if you do not know yet whether you will stay that long, a monthly plan is the safer choice.

frequently asked questions

An honest answer, always.

Does basestep file my tax return?
No, deliberately not. You file yourself through Mijn Belastingdienst Zakelijk (the Dutch tax authority portal for businesses); we prepare every field for you and explain it. That way you stay in charge of your own business.
Can I keep my bookkeeper?
You keep them if you want. The platform explains every box of the return and provides an accountant export. With stock, foreign income, rental, more than one business, a complex car situation, exempt supplies or the margin scheme, we actually refer you to an adviser.
Can I cancel monthly?
Paying is not possible yet: the paid plans will be available to order soon. Once you can order, the monthly plans can be cancelled monthly.
What if basestep stops?
Then you export your bookkeeping: invoices, journal, ledger and the XAF audit file. You keep your receipts yourself, because the platform does not store files. Data ownership is a design principle, not a promise after the fact.

No fake crossed-out prices, no artificial scarcity. The date is the urgency, if there is one.
