Speedbooks: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Speedbooks is Dutch cloud reporting software for accountants, controllers and business owners. It helps prepare annual accounts, file them with the Chamber of Commerce through SBR, and produce periodic and management reports. It also offers consolidation of several annual accounts, connections to bookkeeping packages through the RGS standard, cost-centre and cost-carrier analysis, budgeting, liquidity and scenario tools, dashboards and a mobile app for iOS and Android.

Speedbooks is a product of Speedbooks Software B.V. in Heerenveen, the Netherlands. No parent company or owner is named on the pages consulted. The website and privacy policy do not say where data is hosted; EU hosting is assumed here, in line with the company's location, and should be confirmed with the vendor. The privacy policy refers to the GDPR (AVG) and says a processor agreement is concluded when personal data is shared with third parties. For a European organisation this is a Dutch vendor; ask about the hosting location and sub-processors before uploading financial data.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Speedbooks

Speedbooks is headquartered in NL and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Speedbooks scores best on data residency.

Speedbooks is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Speedbooks together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
