Exact WinBooks
Exact WinBooks is the Belgian WinBooks ledger, Exact owned since December 2019, and it has the deepest documented Luxembourg support of any package we checked. Its help portal confirms the Luxembourg chart of accounts adapted from 1 January 2020, eCDF XML for periodic VAT returns, recapitulative statements and the official balance sheet, and a FAIA module.

Strengths / Weaknesses
Strengths
- The only vendor besides Odoo to confirm the Luxembourg chart of accounts adapted from 1 January 2020 in its own documentation
- eCDF XML generated for periodic VAT returns, recapitulative statements and the official balance sheet
- Published indicative prices from 67 euros a month excluding VAT, up to 180 euros for an unlimited fiduciaire file count
- Peppol e-invoicing stated as included with every version
Weaknesses
- Its help portal states that only FAIA 2.01 reduced version B is available, the schema meant for accounting without an integrated invoicing system
- Documented Luxembourg limitations: CODA bank file import, XML VAT grouping and the lettre TVA do not work on a Luxembourg legislation file
- Interface in French and Dutch only, no German
- Two vendor pages price the same Logistic card for a one person business at 42 and at 67 euros a month
- No commercial free trial, the free edition is for Belgian trainees and schools only

Verdict
On documented Luxembourg capability this is the strongest of the Benelux packages, and the evidence is specific rather than marketing: the chart of accounts adapted from 1 January 2020, eCDF XML for the periodic return, the recapitulative statement and the official balance sheet, and a FAIA module. Two things to put to the reseller before signing. First, the help portal says only FAIA 2.01 reduced version B is shipped, which is the schema for accounting without integrated invoicing, so ask which schema applies if you also run the commercial management module. Second, the vendor's own pages contradict each other on the entry price, 42 against 67 euros, so get it in writing.
