Trusted by finance teams
Built by people who truly know finance
Smartbooks was founded by a team with decades of experience in EPM, controlling and SaaS. No faceless tool. You work with people who know the craft and have built proven products for groups like Akzo Nobel, Philips, KPN and KLM.
Meet the teamFinance still runs on Excel and manual work
It works, until it doesn't. These challenges slow your team down and block further professionalization.
Fragmented Excel models
Consolidation across multiple entities relies on complex, organically grown spreadsheets that no one else understands.
Every ad-hoc question costs half a day
A simple question from leadership means an export, a pivot table and half a day of work. Before you even get to the actual analysis.
Errors discovered too late
Manual entry and links between files lead to errors that only surface during board presentations.
Knowledge lives in people's heads
If one person is unavailable, the process stalls. The complexity is fragile and non-transferable.
AI is only as reliable as the data underneath.
That’s why we built the foundation first: one controlled, consolidated version of your numbers across all entities. Alex works exclusively on top of that, with source attribution for every answer.

Everything finance needs
One platform for consolidation, planning, reporting, and AI analysis.
Live in days, value from day one.
Forget multi-month implementations. You're technically up and running within two days. From there, we work alongside your team, onboarding, refining the setup, and identifying where the biggest time savings lie in your close, reporting, and day-to-day workflows.
Try Smartbooks free for a month, full implementation included.
During your free trial month we fully configure Smartbooks on your bookkeeping, structure and reports. You don't just see a demo, you work in your own live environment from day one. No separate implementation project, no surprises later.
Connection and setup
Your bookkeeping is live in Smartbooks. Reporting, consolidation and planning structures are configured to your general ledger. We do the work, you see your own numbers in the system right away.
Training
Together with your team we go through the core workflows: close, consolidation, reporting. Everyone learns what's relevant for their role. No generic manual, training on your setup.
Fine-tuning
Smartbooks works, your team works with it. Now we fine-tune together: sharpen standard reports, add extra dimensions, align checklists. Your rhythm sets the pace.
No commitments, no costs. Not satisfied? No invoice.
We align the exact timeline with your availability. Some clients prefer intensive training in one week, others spread it across a month.
"Don't turn the implementation into a big project, because it goes really fast. During the free trial month the entire setup is already complete and everything is ready to use."
"In my 30+ years of experience I've worked with many tools, but Smartbooks is by far the easiest and fastest to implement."
