Contracts and freelancer CV together

After a quote, close the job with a signed contract and share a freelancer CV — in the same app as invoices. That is the usual gap versus Moneybird.

What a Dutch invoice must include

An English invoice is valid in the Netherlands if the mandatory Dutch fields are present. SmartWerk fills these from your profile.

  • Your company details

    Legal name and address of your business as registered in the Netherlands.

  • KvK number

    Chamber of Commerce number — required on Dutch business invoices.

  • BTW-ID (VAT number)

    Your Dutch VAT ID when you charge VAT, plus a clear VAT breakdown per rate.

  • Invoice number & dates

    Unique sequential number, invoice date and payment due date.

  • Lines, amounts & totals

    Description, quantity, unit price, VAT and totals the client can verify.

  • Payment details

    IBAN / bank details so clients can pay without chasing you for info.

SmartWerk vs Moneybird and Dutch-only tools

Moneybird and e-Boekhouden are strong for Dutch bookkeeping. SmartWerk is for freelancers who want an English UI, contracts and a CV next to invoices. It is not a Word template and it does not file your taxes.

  • English-first, Dutch-compliant

    Run the app in English while invoices stay Dutch-compliant. Send a Dutch PDF when the client needs it.

  • Contracts + CV together

    Sign agreements and share a freelancer CV in the same product. Moneybird is built around bookkeeping, not quotes, contracts and invoices together.

  • Stronger free start without a card

    Start free during launch, try the full invoice workflow, and upgrade only when you need more.

FAQ

Can I use SmartWerk fully in English?

Yes. The dashboard, quotes, contracts, freelancer CV, invoices and reminders are available in English, with Dutch tax fields kept correct.

Are English invoices valid in the Netherlands?

Yes, as long as mandatory Dutch fields (KvK, BTW-ID, amounts, VAT, IBAN) are present — SmartWerk includes them from your profile. Check that your own tax setup is right for your situation.

Can I send a Dutch PDF to a Dutch client?

Yes. Keep the dashboard in English and switch the document language when you need a Dutch factuur. SmartWerk is not a translation plugin and not a Word template.

Is SmartWerk a Moneybird alternative for expats?

If you want English UI, contracts and a freelancer CV next to invoices, yes. If you mainly need deep Dutch bookkeeping integrations, Moneybird or e-Boekhouden may still fit better.

Is this an invoice template I download?

No. SmartWerk is software: you create the invoice in the app and send or download a PDF. It is not a free Word or Excel template.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Launch access is free and does not ask for payment details.

Does SmartWerk replace my accountant?

No. It helps you create correct invoices, quotes, contracts and reminders, and export data. Your bookkeeper still handles full bookkeeping and tax filings.

What must be on a Dutch invoice?

Typically: your company details, KvK, BTW-ID when applicable, unique invoice number, dates, line items with VAT, totals and payment details. SmartWerk maps these into the PDF from your profile.

How do quotes, invoices and reminders work?

Save the client, send a quote, turn it into an invoice after acceptance, and send a payment reminder if needed — without rebuilding the document in Excel.
