Less time on admin. More time on the work you actually do.
Sum-IT turns a photo of a receipt into a clean, tax-ready record in seconds. Scan receipts, send invoices, track what each job earns, and always know what you owe the tax office — built for freelancers and small businesses in the Netherlands and Germany, no bookkeeping knowledge required.
The gap
"I just want to scan my receipts, send an invoice, and know what I owe the tax office — without learning bookkeeping."
— every freelancer, every quarterReceipts still live in shoeboxes, glove compartments, and email inboxes.
Typing in dates and VAT amounts by hand is slow and easy to get wrong.
Project profitability is invisible until the work is already done.
The big question — "how much will I owe?" — goes unanswered until the deadline.
Pro accounting tools assume you speak accounting. Most small operators don't, and don't want to.
Getting clean data to a bookkeeper or Steuerberater still means emailing PDFs back and forth.
The product
Built for the person doing the work, not for accountants. Four modules, one app — receipt in, tax-ready out.
Local community · Phase 2
Your work depends on the people around you: subcontractors, suppliers, partners. We're building a simple way to find and connect with trusted local businesses right inside Sum-IT, so your next collaborator is a search away — not a stack of business cards. This is on the way as part of Phase 2.
Experience
Reviewing OCR, reconciling the quarter, project P&L, and bookkeeper exports.
SUM-IT
Scan, quote, send, check your tax reserve. In seconds, from your pocket. PWA today; native iOS & Android in Phase 2.
Trust & security
All data is stored and processed exclusively in AWS EU regions — a hard GDPR requirement, never an afterthought.
Full compliance across collection, storage and processing. You can request deletion of your personal data at any time.
Records can't be silently changed; every correction is timestamped against the original, and source documents are kept — meeting NL retention rules and German GoBD.
Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest, with access controls enforced at every layer.
Why Sum-IT wins
| Capability | Tools built for accountants | Sum-IT |

Pricing
No tiers, no upsells, no "that feature costs extra." Everyone gets the same Sum-IT — every module, every update — for one fair price.
Why one price? Because you shouldn't have to figure out which "tier" you are. Everyone gets the whole product. That's the point.
