🔍 What’s the Difference Between hellotax and a Traditional Accountancy Practice?

At hellotax, we are proud to operate as an online VAT service provider — not a traditional accountancy firm. This distinction is important for understanding how we work, how your data is handled, and what level of service you can expect.

📌 Key Difference: Software-Driven vs. Manually Managed Services

Traditional accountancy firms typically rely on manual data entry and processing, with one-on-one support for each client. While this offers a more personal approach, it limits scalability and often comes with higher monthly fees.

In contrast, hellotax is a software-first platform, built specifically to handle VAT and EC Sales filings across multiple EU countries with ease.

💻 How hellotax Works

• Our cloud-based platform is developed and maintained by an internal team of EU tax professionals and accountants.

• These experts embed their knowledge directly into the system, so your data is processed in full compliance with local rules and reporting requirements.

• All data processing is automated inside the platform — we do not manually handle client data (except for occasional quality control checks).

• Clients are given secure access to their own account to upload and manage transactional data.

🔐 Why This Matters

• Speed and accuracy: The system processes your data quickly and reliably.

• Scalability: Our model allows us to support hundreds of clients across the EU without sacrificing compliance.

• Cost-efficiency: Lower overhead means lower monthly subscription fees for you.

• EU-wide expertise: While many accountants specialize in one or two countries, our software is pre-programmed to handle rules across all supported EU states, making cross-border transactions easy and error-free.
