Stamp that says Independent

Still not convinced or have more questions?

Find answers to common doubts about Xolo’s online accountant service and management of the flat-rate VAT system.

An online accountant is a service that, like a traditional accountant, manages the accounting and all fiscal and social security obligations of an individual or a business. They operate remotely using various technological tools such as online platforms, websites, dedicated software, phone, email, instant messaging, and video calls.

Using an online accountant offers numerous benefits for any freelancer, ensuring significant time and money savings while providing a comprehensive, simple, and fast service.

Time savings: This is undoubtedly one of the most important advantages of an online accountant. With an online accountant, you don't need to visit any office or wait long to get an appointment or answers to your questions. For instance, with Xolo, all the support you need is always just a click away.

Cost savings: Balancing the books is crucial. With an online accountant, you can save more than 50% compared to a traditional accountant (the average fee for a traditional accountant is around €1,000 per year). With Xolo, you can save money without compromising on top-quality service and constant expert support.

Dedicated consultation: Traditional accountants often do not provide quick responses or keep you constantly updated on the latest regulatory changes. By choosing Xolo as your online accountant, you will receive prompt responses to any questions within 24 hours and always be informed in advance about deadlines and news.

Online platform: Traditional accountants require you to obtain (at your expense) invoicing software and keep your documents organized by yourself. With Xolo as your online accountant, you can rely on an online platform accessible anytime and anywhere, where you can save your client's data, have all your documents available, book a call with your accountant, and issue as many electronic invoices as you want.

Xolo is the best online accountant service for those who want to start working as a freelancer and for every professional already operating under the forfettario tax regime. By registering and choosing the plan that best suits your needs, you can immediately enjoy all the benefits of an all-in-one online solution, capable of helping you through every stage of your freelance journey.

With Xolo, you will have:

  • A dedicated accountant and constant support via email or phone
  • Answers to any questions guaranteed within 24 hours
  • Free VAT registration within 1 business day
  • Software for electronic invoicing
  • Secure and unlimited access to the online platform
  • Submission of F24 forms
  • Preparation and submission of the annual income tax return
  • Preparation and submission of the Intrastat declaration

Changing your accountant as a freelancer is not as complicated as you might think, and it's even easier if you have a VAT number under the flat-rate scheme.

If you have adopted this tax regime, you are not required to keep accounting records. However, you must adhere to the electronic invoice storage service on the Agenzia delle Entrate's website and submit the annual income tax return. As a result, you can change your accountant at any time of the year.

If you think it's time to leave your old accountant and switch to the best online accountant on the market, we're here to help you do it smoothly and safely:

  • We evaluate your situation with you to find the best solution.
  • We create your account on Xolo together.
  • We verify your documentation.
  • We activate your account once the handover is complete.
