Back-office arithmetic for small European firms
A hire is not a salary. It is an obligation.
Digital back-office clerks for the invoices, PDFs and supplier e-mails. One role, 490 € a month, cancel any month.

Roles
Hire the role, not the person.
A firm of eight needs a third of a bookkeeper — precisely the amount you cannot hire.
The fine print, up front
The clerk prepares. You decide.
- It is software, and it says so
- A human signs
- No regulated advice
- Not a hiring tool
- Your data stays in the EU
- It will not replace your bookkeeper
Illustration: a supplier sends a PDF invoice, the document clerk introduces itself as an AI, files it and checks the numbers, then waits for a person to approve the reply.
E-invoicing mandates
The paperwork is not shrinking.
Every date is a deadline by which a five-person company must change how documents move.

One role. One month.
490 € per role, per month
Pick the clerk whose job you are doing yourself at nine in the evening. Cancel at the end of the month — the opposite of a hire.
