jortt
6.5/10Dutch online bookkeeping software that automates booking, VAT returns, invoicing and payroll for freelancers, sole traders and small businesses in the Netherlands.
Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
jortt is a cloud bookkeeping program from Almere, built for Dutch entrepreneurs who want to keep their own books. Its Boekhoudbot books bank transactions using 1,243 built-in rules plus your own rules. Jortt says this handles up to 90% of bookings on the ZZP plan and up to 99% on Plus. Profit and loss and the balance sheet update as you go. Jortt prepares the quarterly VAT return and files it with the Belastingdienst. It also handles year-end closing and the annual report. There are four plans. Starter is free and covers invoices, quotes, hours, projects and Peppol e-invoicing, but has no bookkeeping or bank connection. ZZP is for sole traders only, with one bank account and two users. MKB adds all legal forms, unlimited bank connections, five users, payroll and API access. Plus adds unlimited users, the AI Boekhoudbot, advanced user rights, direct debit and AI receipt scanning. Paid plans are billed monthly or yearly, at a lower rate on yearly billing. Payslips cost €9.50 per active employee per month. Jortt connects to Dutch banks and Revolut under its own PSD2 license. Other integrations include Mollie and iDEAL payment links, Peppol, Employes payroll, Dropbox, Zapier and APIcenter. A REST API and an MCP server for AI assistants are available from MKB upward. Accountants can use a bookkeeper portal, and Jortt can also match you with a bookkeeping coach. The main limitation is that jortt only works for Dutch tax rules, in Dutch. The website and help centre are in Dutch, and reviewers say the English experience needs work. It does not offer full stock management, and the API and integrations are locked out of the cheaper plans.
Our Rating
Who jortt is best for
Best software for FreelancersGood fit
The ZZP plan is built for Dutch sole traders, with automated VAT filing, income tax support and a Norm 4410 annual report.
The MKB and Plus plans support all legal forms, multiple banks, payroll and several users, and Jortt says most of its customers have one to ten employees.
Quotes, hour tracking, projects and invoicing come free on Starter and link into the bookkeeping on paid plans.
Less suited
A bookkeeper portal, audit file exchange and a coach network let professionals work in client books, though Jortt is aimed mainly at owners doing their own books.
There is a built-in jortt.shop webshop, a bol connection and a third-party Shopify sync, but Jortt does not offer automated stock management.
Jortt covers Dutch tax only, has no confirmed multi-entity consolidation and is built for micro and small firms.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Bank transactions are booked automatically by the rules-based Boekhoudbot. Jortt claims up to 90% automation on ZZP and 99% on Plus, and Trustpilot reviewers say it saves them a lot of time.
- Jortt connects to banks under its own PSD2 license from De Nederlandsche Bank, so bank data does not pass through a third-party aggregator.
- Dutch compliance is built in: VAT returns are filed directly with the Belastingdienst, Peppol e-invoicing is included on every plan, and the ZZP plan produces a Norm 4410 annual report.
- There is a free invoicing tier, a 30-day free trial with no automatic upgrade, and a 90-day satisfaction guarantee on paid plans.
- Trustpilot users rate it highly: 4.7 from 242 reviews, with praise for both the 24/7 AI chat and human support staff.
- An OAuth REST API and an MCP server let MKB and Plus users connect ChatGPT, Claude or their own tools.
Cons
- The ZZP plan is for sole traders only, with one bank connection and two users. Any other legal form needs MKB or higher.
- The API, Zapier and most third-party integrations need MKB or higher.
- It is built only for Dutch tax rules, and the site and help centre are in Dutch. Reviewers say the English experience could be better.
- An independent 2026 comparison called the ZZP plan the most expensive of the Dutch freelancer tools it reviewed, at about four times e-Boekhouden's promotional price.
- Payroll costs extra at €9.50 per payslip, and Jortt says it is not suited to businesses that need fully automated stock management.
- Two-factor authentication is recommended but not enforced, and the ISO and SOC certifications belong to the data centre provider, not Jortt itself.
