Overview

Founded in 2017 by Nicolas Quarre, Hassan Ayed, and Alexis Eggermont, Accountable was born from the founders' conviction that self-employed workers deserved a consumer-grade financial management experience, free from the complexity of legacy accounting software and advisors. Nicolas Quarre had previously co-founded RIAKTR (Real Impact Analytics), a B2B analytics firm serving mobile operators across Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East.

The app covers bookkeeping, invoicing, expense tracking, and tax filing in a single mobile-first interface. It targets Belgium and Germany, two markets with notoriously complex self-employment tax regimes. By 2024, Accountable had over 26,000 clients across both countries.

In April 2025, Norwegian software group Visma acquired a minority stake in Accountable, with plans for a full acquisition at a later date. Visma cited Accountable's strong product and the growing regulatory pressure around electronic invoicing in Belgium and Germany as key drivers. The deal is Visma's fifteenth acquisition in Belgium.
