Determining the properties of the Higgs at the LHC requires to separate all accessible production and decay channels. This requires experimental measurements that are differential or exclusive in the number of jets produced in addition to the Higgs. Precise theory predictions for exclusive Higgs + jet cross sections including a robust treatment of perturbative uncertainties are a key part of this endeavour. I will discuss recent advances in our theoretical understanding of jet binning and jet vetoes in this context. In particular, I will discuss the latest resummation calculations for the Higgs + 0-jet cross section from gluon fusion.
