Dokus vs Accountable

Accountable lets the self-employed file their own taxes. Dokus keeps the record an accountant files from. The choice is who files, and what you want to see in between.
See the demo

Choose Accountable when…

You are self-employed as a natural person and want to file your VAT and income tax returns yourself in the app, with tax coaches and a tax guarantee behind you.

  • Free invoicing on your phone, with Peppol sending included
  • VAT and income tax returns on the Taxes and Max plans
  • A free business account, and free access for an accountant

Choose Dokus when…

An accountant files for you and you want what reaches them to be complete: each document with its source, payments matched, and a plain view of what is paid, due and missing.

  • Every figure comes from a document you can open
  • Payments matched to invoices with the reason shown: clear ones confirm themselves, the rest you confirm
  • Ask your records a question and open the invoices in the answer

Switching, and what Dokus does not do

If you move to Dokus

  1. 1Keep your Accountable history where it is. Past returns and bookings stay there; Dokus does not import them.
  2. 2Start Dokus Free. Forward invoices by email or upload them, and import your bank statements as CSV or PDF.
  3. 3Move your Peppol registration to Dokus. A business is registered with one Peppol access point at a time.
  4. 4Invite your accountant. Their access is free.

What Dokus does not do

  • Dokus does not file VAT or income tax returns and gives no tax advice.
  • Dokus has no tax guarantee and no business bank account.
  • Dokus does not import records from Accountable.
  • If you file your own returns without an accountant, Accountable covers more of that job.
