E-invoicing

For whom:

Taxpayers seeking independent advice on the best e-invoicing solution. This can be the activation of a solution in your current ERP or accounting software, or an integration with an e-software e-invoicing solution from an external provider.

Why:

The right e-invoicing software differs per organization. Therefore, we do not partner with a specific e-software solution provider but rather collaborate with almost all providers. This allows us to compare different solutions on different parameters (e.g. compatibility with current systems, implementation timeline, user friendliness, compliance with rules in other countries if applicable, set-up and recurring costs,…).

What:

Workshop (2h) where we learn to:

• Understand and read structured electronic invoices
• Understand the basics of electronic invoices
• Communicate with clients and suppliers

The implementation of an e-invoicing solution often requires significant involvement of the tax or finance team to ensure proper setup, testing and compatibility with both e-invoicing and VAT legislation. Where needed, we can help to either guide the process or to lend a hand during the implementation itself. Please contact us, so we can discuss your needs.

Important aspects during the implementation are:

• Quality of product and supplier/customer data
• Tax code setup
• Training for stakeholders in working with e-invoices and both the risks and opportunities involved
• Communication with suppliers and customers to increase automation possibilities
