Financica is officially live in Belgium.
We spent the last year building for the Belgian market specifically, not adapting a US product and hoping it translates. The result is a finance workspace that handles Peppol e-invoicing, VAT reporting, Intervat filings, and Belgian bank connections out of the box.
Here is what you get today.
Peppol e-invoicing
Belgium is moving toward mandatory B2B e-invoicing, and Peppol is at the center of it.
Financica handles the full cycle. Send invoices and credit notes over the Peppol network directly from where you create them. Receive incoming invoices from any Peppol-connected sender with line items, VAT, and references parsed automatically. Register your company on the Peppol network through Financica without dealing with the access point process separately.
Every transmission is tracked with delivery confirmations, so you know what arrived and what didn't.
VAT current account
The Belgian tax authority sends you a PFORM671 PDF summarizing your VAT position: declarations, payments, reimbursements, fines, interest. It is not the easiest document to work with.
Upload it to Financica and you get a clean, searchable timeline of every operation. Duplicate detection means you can re-upload without creating noise. No more cross-referencing government PDFs against your own records by hand.
At the invoice level, we track Belgian VAT rates, tax categories, and per-line-item deductibility. Your VAT return is calculated from actual invoice data.
Intervat-ready filings
Financica generates your periodic VAT filings and annual client listings directly from your books. Download the XML, upload it to Intervat, done.
The client listing calculates per-customer turnover and VAT totals automatically. No spreadsheet work, no copy-pasting between tools.
Belgian bank connections
We partnered with Exthand for bank connections that cover Belgian and European banks like KBC, Belfius, and ING Belgium. Connect your accounts and transactions sync automatically.
This makes reconciliation practical. You have your invoices on one side and your bank activity on the other, and matching them is a review step instead of a data entry exercise.
The rest of the toolkit
Belgium was our focus, but the platform does more than compliance:
- Invoice OCR: upload a PDF or scan and Financica extracts the supplier, amounts, VAT, line items, and dates.
- Multi-currency: exchange rates and FX gains/losses tracked automatically for non-eurozone transactions.
- Financial reporting: balance sheet, income statement, trial balance, and VAT return from live data.
- Burn rate and runway: updated daily from actual bank data, for founders who want to know where they stand.
- Credit note reconciliation: full and partial credit notes reconciled against originals, including accounting entries.
- Document storage: every invoice, receipt, and filing linked to its transaction.
For founders and accountants, together
Financica is a shared workspace. Founders see cash position, burn rate, and outstanding invoices. Accountants get chart of accounts, journal entries, VAT calculations, and an audit trail. Both work on the same data without getting in each other's way.
Fewer tools, fewer "can you send me that number?" emails, faster monthly closes.
