“For me as an accountant, it's all about insight; I want to understand where something originates from. Bizzcontrol gives me that confidence."
Saskia and Stefan are the beating heart of Comptabel: two passionate accountants who not only relieve entrepreneurs of paperwork but primarily help them move forward with clear insights and forward-thinking advice. Their enthusiasm is contagious, and their clients feel it every day.
In this interview, they explain how Bizzcontrol helps them save time, conduct better conversations, and move forward with their clients at full speed.
Let's dive straight in! Which Bizzcontrol modules do you use the most?
Saskia: “Especially the report generator for our quarterly reports, they are truly worth their weight in gold. Additionally, we also prepare a forecast at least twice a year, often after the first and third quarters. That provides so much reassurance.”
Stefan nods enthusiastically: “We actually use almost every module in Bizzcontrol. We have been customers for almost three years now, with the clear ambition to do more than just ‘boring’ balance discussions. Previously, we endlessly struggled with Excel, pure waste of time. With Bizzcontrol, everything goes much faster and it elevates conversations with clients to a higher level.”
Saskia laughs: “We even handle interim dividend payments via Bizzcontrol. Although I must admit that I still occasionally rely on Oceane for that. She is our Customer Success Manager, and thanks to her training and guidance, we are truly making progress.”
Stefan adds: “For me as an accountant, it's all about insight; I want to understand where something comes from. Bizzcontrol gives me that confidence. But what I really love is that we now look to the future together with the client. That is progress indeed!”
How does Bizzcontrol change your work as an accountant?
“Making forecasts? That's no big deal anymore! Even our intern can do it in no time. I used to spend an hour laboring over a single forecast. Now, it's done in less than half the time! The time savings are therefore enormous,” according to Saskia.
Stefan adds: “I now conduct client meetings directly in Bizzcontrol. You create a report, immediately move to the dynamic analysis modules, and help clients visualize the impact of price increases, for instance, thanks to the budget simulator. Everything is so logically organized, which gives conversations much more depth. Even more complex matters like gross profit margin can now be explained in layman's terms, and clients understand it immediately. As a result, our conversations are shorter, but they are much more valuable.”
Saskia: “And the best part? We used to only look at the past. Now, at least half of the time, the conversation is about the future. Clients love that, and we have more freedom to truly advise. It gives us energy!”
“No one buys a painting and wonders how long it took to make; it's about the value you deliver. And that's exactly what Bizzcontrol helps us do,” says Stefan.
How easy did you find it to learn how to work with Bizzcontrol?
Saskia: “Incredibly easy. It is so user-friendly that you can start using it immediately. And you instantly experience time savings.”
Stefan adds with a laugh: “It’s really just a mindset. We said: we will do this, and voilà. Thanks to the training from Oceane, everything went very smoothly. It is now integrated into our processes. And the best part? Everyone with us is a fan!”
What steps do you plan to take in the future regarding consultancy services?
Stefan: “In Bizzcontrol, we want to further optimize the use of triggers. In addition, we want to implement Horus. This makes booking more efficient and ensures that we can pick up signals faster.”
Saskia adds: “With Horus, we can work on a monthly basis, which allows us to systematically monitor the triggers in Bizzcontrol.”
“Ultimately, we want to evolve towards clear, consistent reporting for every client. Preferably on a monthly basis,” says Stefan.
“And on top of that, an additional meeting every quarter. That's when you really make a difference for every client,” concludes Saskia.
"And the best part? In the past, we only focused on the past. Now, at least half of the conversation is about the future. Customers find that fantastic and we have more space to truly advise. That gives us energy!"

Why would you recommend Bizzcontrol to fellow accountants?
Stefan, without hesitation: “Why not? You don't need to convince us anymore; we simply can't do without it!”
Saskia: “Bizzcontrol energizes me! Thanks to the software, I am fully motivated to continue building the future of our office. I used to only want to keep books and not give advice. But now? Now I can, in clear language, with time savings! That gives so much satisfaction.”
Stefan concludes: “Bizzcontrol takes the technicality out of the story so that we can focus on what really matters: giving advice to clients. We are not IT specialists, and we don't need to be. Thanks to Bizzcontrol, it feels like we have an extra employee.”
Thank you very much, Saskia and Stefan, for sharing your experiences with us. Your enthusiasm is infectious, and it is inspiring to hear how, thanks to Bizzcontrol, you no longer only look back but are daring to dream forward with your clients. We are proud to be your partners in this journey!
