“Can an accounting SaaS become the primary financial operating system for Dutch SMEs by embedding payments, cards, and business accounts directly into its bookkeeping product?”
Moneybird started as online accounting software for Dutch SMEs and freelancers, covering invoicing, VAT returns, and bookkeeping.

The Adyen integration marked a strategic pivot from passive record-keeping to active embedded financial services.
