Your accountant
The file they already import
DATEV is what a Steuerberater expects, so the export is DATEV, with the invoice PDFs alongside it.
- Their own login, free on every plan
- A month-close screen: what is missing a document or a category
- VAT gathered and paid, by rate, for the period
- The ledger plus the invoice PDFs, in one export
Honest about the limits
This is not tax advice
The rates above are public facts with the source printed next to them. How they apply to your particular business is a question for a local professional, and no country's detailed rules have been reviewed by a paid expert for us yet. We would rather say that here than let you find out later.
