  1. Bookkeeping Service

Written by the company

Als zzp’er of freelancer wil je druk zijn met je bedrijf, en niet met je boekhouding. Daarom zorgt Tellow ervoor dat je niet te veel tijd besteed aan je boekhouding door het te automatiseren. Gebruikers kunnen facturen en offertes maken en versturen en bonnetjes uploaden door simpelweg een foto te nemen. Tellow zet ook automatisch de btw-aangifte klaar en inkomstenbelasting aangifte kan gedaan worden door onze boekhouders. De aangiften worden in één klik doorgestuurd naar de Belastingdienst door middel van een officiële integratie. Daarnaast biedt Tellow ook onbeperkt boekhoud advies aan. De boekhoudsoftware is gebruiksvriendelijk en beschikbaar op alle apparaten. Maar het beste is: de complete software van Tellow + jouw eigen persoonlijke boekhouder. Jouw persoonlijke boekhouder doet alles wat een normale boekhouder ook doet (controle op je aangiften, directe telefoonlijn voor advies op je administratie en vragen).

I don't recommend Tellow

I don't recommend Tellow. I was their client in 2023. Not only they used the wrong form and now I can't normally submit my tax form from that time, but they still haven't deleted me from their mail list, and I still get emails from them.

Hi Ksena,

Thank you for your review - I’m sorry to hear about your experience.

I’ve looked into your case based on the details available to us, and the email address has not received any emails from us over the past year.
If you might be receiving emails on a different address, please let us know so we can double-check and make sure everything is properly resolved.

Regarding the tax return: the type of income tax form depends on your personal situation, such as where you lived during that year. We always prepare the filing based on the information provided to us at the time.

If you would like to discuss this further or have us take another look, please feel free to reach out to us at support@tellow.nl
 - we’re happy to help.

Kind regards,
Maron - Tellow by Shine

Very disappointed after years as a loyal customer

I’ve been a Tellow customer since 2022 with a Plus subscription, using their services for invoicing, banking, and handling my company’s taxes. Unfortunately, after a full year of using their platform, I’m very disappointed with how they’ve handled a major issue with my account balance.

On the homepage, there’s a green box that shows how much money you have in your account, followed by a line that subtracts the VAT return you owe for the next quarter. However, for over a year now, Tellow has been showing me a huge negative balance. The system seems to be adding up all my VAT returns quarter after quarter, as if I never paid them, even though I did, through my Tellow bank account. Last year, I was hoping that starting a new tax year would clear the accumulative error, but no, now it’s adding the “unpaid” quarters from last year plus the new quarters of 2025.

I reached out to their support team last year, and instead of investigating properly, they simply told me it wasn’t an error on their side and claimed that several VAT payments were missing. That’s simply not true, I’ve made all the payments through their own system. Over time, I stopped asking for help through the support page because responses now take days to arrive, and when they do, they’re rarely helpful.

After so much time and zero resolution, it’s hard to trust their platform’s accuracy. It’s frustrating to see wrong financial data affecting how I manage my business. I expected better service and accountability after being a paying customer for so long.

To make things worse, the mobile app takes forever to load, even though I’m using a brand-new flagship smartphone. At this point, I’ve decided to move to another provider next year.

Hi Franco,

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m really sorry to hear this has been frustrating. I completely understand and agree on how important it is to have clear and accurate financial data.

The VAT balance you’ve seen can sometimes appear incorrect if payments weren’t linked to the corresponding VAT returns. We’d be happy to look into this with you and together look at a solution.

We appreciate your feedback and time to share this. If there’s anything I can do to help or clarify further, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Kind regards,
Maron

Exceptional professionalism

They staff at Tellow offer real professional and persistent assistance. They constantly offer feedback on items pertaining to both VAT and Income tax assessments via email or phone calls if necessary. They are always available for a phone call and will follow up a query if they were not able to take a call. Li and Chiara were exceptional in their assistance with my Income tax assessments and showed a level of professionalism and care I had not experienced from other bookkeepers. I would recommend this service to anyone and already have told some friends to try their service.

Review for Tellow – A Reliable Online Bookkeeping Solution

I've been using Tellow for almost two years now as a ZZP, and my experience has been excellent. Here’s why I highly recommend it:

1️⃣ Prompt & Professional Support – Their team is always quick to respond and highly professional. Over time, I’ve seen continuous improvements in their processes, making everything smoother each year.

2️⃣ Great for Expats – As an expat, having support in English is crucial, and Tellow delivers perfectly. Their team speaks fluent English, making it easy to communicate and get the help I need.

3️⃣ Smart Reminders – Their email reminders are a lifesaver! They help me stay on top of my bookkeeping and tax deadlines without any stress.

4️⃣ User-Friendly Software – The platform is intuitive and works exactly as advertised, making bookkeeping hassle-free.

Overall, Tellow has been a fantastic tool for managing my finances efficiently. If you're a freelancer or small business owner looking for an all-in-one bookkeeping solution with an accountant on demand, I highly recommend giving it a try!

I have used Tellow throughout the life…

I have used Tellow throughout the life of my business and highly recommend it. The software allowed me to maintain rigor in my accounting. Whenever I had a question or doubt, the Tellow team responded immediately. This support reassured me, especially during tax or VAT declarations, which can sometimes be stressful. I highly recommend Tellow to all entrepreneurs!
