Accounting software in the Netherlands & Europe and why compliance infrastructure matters more than ever

Choosing the right accounting software remains essential for businesses operating in the Netherlands and across Europe. Modern accounting platforms are highly effective at managing bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll, VAT reporting etc. and form a critical part of the financial stack for many organisations.

At the same time, regulatory expectations are increasing rapidly. New reporting frameworks such as DAC7, DSA, DAC8, CARF, and evolving tax transparency rules are introducing requirements that extend far beyond traditional accounting workflows.

As a result, many organisations are discovering that accounting software alone is no longer sufficient to operationalise modern compliance.

What accounting software is designed to do and where it stops

Accounting platforms are built to manage financial administration within a single organisation. Tools commonly used by Dutch and European businesses, such as Exact Online, Twinfield, Visma, Moneybird, and Sage — are well suited for:

• Bookkeeping and financial reporting
• Invoicing and payments
• VAT calculations and submissions
• Payroll and expense management

These systems remain essential. However, they were not designed to handle:

• Large-scale onboarding of sellers, suppliers, or counterparties
• Identity, entity, and ownership verification (KYC / KYB)
• Multi-party, multi-jurisdiction data collection
• Continuous regulatory monitoring and corrections
• Automated submissions across evolving reporting frameworks

This is where compliance complexity begins to exceed the scope of accounting software.

Accounting firms and compliance delivery in Europe

Accounting and advisory firms such as PwC, KPMG, EY, Deloitte, and BDO play a vital role in helping organisations interpret and apply regulatory requirements. As frameworks like DAC7 move from implementation into enforcement with DAC8, CARF, and DSA close behind, the volume and operational burden of compliance work is increasing sharply.

To meet expectations around speed, accuracy, and scalability, firms and platforms alike are increasingly adopting technology driven compliance infrastructure to support their delivery models.

Where Supplied fits in the landscape

Supplied is not an accounting platform and does not replace existing accounting software or advisory expertise.

Supplied is a compliance infrastructure platform that sits alongside accounting systems to handle the technical and operational execution of regulatory compliance - at scale.

Traditional accounting platforms solve accounting.

Advisory firms help interpret regulations.

Supplied provides the infrastructure required to execute compliance reliably across jurisdictions.

‍What Supplied delivers

1. Faster end-to-end compliance execution

Automation replaces manual data collection, validation, and report preparation, dramatically reducing the time and cost involved in regulatory processes such as DAC7, DSA, DAC8, and CARF.

2. A complete compliance infrastructure layer

Instead of stitching together tools, spreadsheets, and manual workflows, Supplied provides:

• KYC / KYB onboarding and verification
• AI-powered data enrichment and risk checks
• Cross-platform data orchestration (CRM, ERP, marketplaces, PSPs)
• Global regulatory reporting (DAC7, DAC8, CARF, DSA, VEDA, 1099-K, UK DRR, and more)
• Audit-ready data histories, corrections, and resubmissions
• Submission rails to tax and regulatory authorities

3. A software-driven alternative to manual advisory workflows

Compliance reporting has traditionally required extensive manual effort by accountants and consultants. Supplied eliminates these bottlenecks by enabling:

• Automated onboarding
• Automated data consolidation
• Automated report generation
• Automated submissions

This allows accounting firms and platforms to scale compliance delivery without increasing headcount or risk.

4. Built for platforms, marketplaces, and multi-entity businesses

Supplied is designed to handle complex scenarios that accounting tools were never built for, including:

• Multi-seller and multi-supplier onboarding
• High-volume data ingestion
• Multi-jurisdiction reporting
• Complex entity structures
• Continuous data monitoring and corrections
• API-based integrations for real-time compliance

Accounting tools and advisory firms typically focus on interpretation.

Supplied focuses on infrastructure and execution.

‍A unified approach to modern compliance

For accountants, digital platforms, financial controllers, and compliance leaders, modern regulatory obligations require more than accounting software alone. They require a dedicated infrastructure layer that can handle complexity, scale, and change.

Supplied complements existing accounting systems by providing that layer — enabling organisations to manage onboarding, verification, data orchestration, and regulatory reporting through a single, unified platform.

If you are looking for a scalable compliance solution that works alongside your existing finance stack, Supplied can help.
