PIA Go! vs Accountable: which accounting solution fits your sole proprietorship?

Accountable and PIA Go! are two well-known options for Belgian sole proprietorships, but they are built on different approaches. While one focuses on self-management, the other emphasizes support and peace of mind. Which one best fits your way of doing business?

Who does what in your accounting?

Accountable is aimed at sole proprietors with relatively simple administration who want to handle their accounting themselves. You use the software to create invoices and manage documents, but you are responsible for everything: follow-up, filing returns and meeting deadlines. The tool helps you stay organized, but the responsibility for accuracy, deadlines and follow-up lies entirely with you.

PIA Go! takes a different approach. You manage your accounting digitally, but with the assurance that you are not alone. A dedicated accountant actively monitors your file, answers your questions and thinks along with you. Depending on your plan, this accountant also takes over certain tasks. Think of preparing and submitting tax returns and monitoring fiscal deadlines. You remain involved, but you do not have to control or follow up on everything yourself. This creates clarity, peace of mind and certainty.

Pricing: what do you pay and what is included?

Price often plays an important role when choosing an accounting solution. However, the pricing of Accountable and PIA Go! is difficult to compare directly. Why? Because they are based on different approaches:

Accountable is accounting software for self-employed individuals who want to manage their administration themselves. You use the tool to create invoices and manage documents, but follow-up and filing returns remain your responsibility. Guidance is not included by default. Those who want more certainty often seek additional support, which usually comes at an extra cost on top of the software subscription.

PIA Go! combines digital tools with personal guidance in clearly structured plans. As a result, the price is higher than pure accounting software. This is a deliberate choice. You are not only paying for a platform, but also for active follow-up by a dedicated accountant. Depending on your plan, this accountant also takes over specific tasks, such as preparing and submitting returns and monitoring tax deadlines. This way, you know in advance what support is included and how much you still need to do yourself.

This approach provides clarity. You know upfront what support is included, how much you need to handle yourself and what you are paying for. No separate modules or unexpected costs, but a transparent solution that removes time pressure, stress and uncertainty.

Conclusion: which solution suits you?

The choice between Accountable and PIA Go! is not about features, but about how much responsibility you want to take on in your accounting.

Accountable suits you if you:

• have a simple administration
• want to handle your accounting entirely yourself
