Why accountants use Subsidies.io

Accountants have a unique position. They know their customers inside out, see the numbers, understand the plans and are often the first to give advice about growth opportunities. However, many offices are stuck with traditional services such as financial statements and tax advice. Not because they have no ambition, but because time and capacity are scarce.

That is precisely why there is now an opportunity that fits perfectly into the advisory role of the modern accountant: subsidy advice with Subsidies.io.

The role of the accountant is changing

The role of the accountant has been shifting from auditor to advisor for years. Nowadays, entrepreneurs expect more than just accurate books. They want insight, opportunities and guidance in their growth plans. Subsidy advice plays an important role in this. The major accounting firms have been building their own subsidy departments for years, because they see how much value this adds to their services and customer relationships. For medium and smaller offices, this step is often more difficult, especially with the current staff shortage. But with Subsidies.io's AI platform, that expertise is now at their fingertips.

Whether it concerns innovation, sustainability or internationalization, almost every company can benefit from subsidies. But finding the right ones can be time-consuming; the rules are complex, and deadlines are strict. For a busy accounting firm with limited capacity, this is often not feasible to do yourself.

Subsidies.io: your own subsidy portal

Subsidies.io offers accountants the opportunity to get their own subsidy portal, completely in their own corporate identity. Through this portal, customers can carry out an AI subsidy scan themselves and are kept informed about new opportunities, upcoming deadlines, and important changes. Within minutes, they will gain insight into the grants that suit their business.

The great thing is: you choose how visible you want to be. The platform can run under your brand, while you remain the point of contact. Or maybe you would  rather have our experts in the loop? That's also possible.

Here's how it works:

1. You get your own portal with your logo.
2. Customers can log in independently, do scans and view results.
3. We automatically keep customers informed about new regulations and deadlines.
4. From the platform, customers can discuss results and call us directly for an application, entirely on a no-cure-no-pay basis.
   

A new solution to a known problem

Many accountants want to better help their clients with financing questions but face the same obstacles. There is too little time, the workforce is already tight, and there is simply not enough knowledge about the complicated and fragmented landscape with more than 3,000 grants in the Netherlands alone.

With Subsidies.io, you don't have to build that knowledge yourself. We are the permanent subsidy partner behind the scenes, and your office remains the trusted point of contact for the customer. Everything takes place via one fixed method, one contact point and one uniform approach.

What does it mean for your office?

• You increase the value per customer with relevant, up-to-date services.
• You can share in success fees for successful requests.
• You maintain control over the customer relationship.
• You offer innovation without extra workload.
• You stand out from other offices that don't offer this yet.

Plus, you don't have to hire extra staff or develop expensive software. Within a few days, you can go live with your own portal.

Practical and scalable

Subsidies.io was built to be scalable. Whether you have a small office with 50 customers or an organization with hundreds of SME relationships, the platform grows with you.

Each customer can perform scans themselves, without you losing time on preliminary research or having to check with the customer whether they have relevant projects. As soon as something relevant comes up, they will be notified immediately. This way, you can advise proactively, without it taking over your agenda.

Accountancy is advisory

The accountant of the future is not a numerical processor, but a sparring partner. Someone who thinks along about financing, innovation and growth. Subsidies are a logical step in this regard. They are directly in line with your existing knowledge of the company, the annual results and the customer's strategic plans.

With Subsidies.io, you can strengthen that role with a professional, scalable platform and without extra pressure on your team.
