Frequently asked
questions.

What kind of projects do you take on?

Anything involving automation, AI agents, process optimization, dashboards, or Exact Online integration for SMEs. From a quick WhatsApp expense bot (€2.500) to a full enterprise automation platform. If it can be automated and it saves you time, we're interested.

Do you work on-site or remotely?

Both. Bart is based in Haarlem and available for on-site meetings anywhere in the Randstad. Florent works remotely from Italy — the same distributed model he's used successfully at Engie for 5+ years. Development work happens remotely; client meetings, workshops, and demos happen in person or via video.

How much does it cost?

Quick Wins (single automations) run €2.500–€7.500 fixed price. Larger projects are billed at €95–€125/hour or as a fixed project price. Ongoing retainers start at €1.500/month. We always provide a clear quote before starting. See full pricing details.

What makes you different from other IT freelancers?

We're not just developers — we're finance veterans. Bart has been the CFO, the Finance Manager, the Controller. He's done the manual bookkeeping, closed the books at midnight, reconciled the bank by hand. Florent has built trading systems at ABN Amro and enterprise platforms at Engie. We understand your business before we write a single line of code.

Can I start with something small to test you out?

Absolutely — that's what Quick Wins are for. Pick one pain point, let us automate it, and judge us by the result. Most of our long-term clients started with a single small project.

Is my data safe with AI?

Yes. We exclusively use enterprise AI platforms (Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI) where your data is never used to train models. Full data isolation, EU data residency, zero retention options. Our finance background means we take data security as seriously as you do.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes. We offer a free 30-minute orientation call where we assess your situation, identify quick wins, and recommend the right approach. No obligations, no sales pressure. Just an honest conversation about whether we can help.
