We present novel predictions for rapidity and transverse-momentum distributions sensitive to the emission of a Higgs boson accompanied by a jet in proton collisions, calculated within the NLO fixed order in QCD and matched with the next-to leading energy-logarithmic accuracy. We also highlight first advancements in the extension of our analysis to the Z-boson case. We come out with the message that the improvement of fixed-order calculations on Higgs- and Z-boson plus jet distributions is a required step to reach the precision level of the description of observables relevant for Higgs and electroweak physics at current LHC energies and nominal FCC ones.
