Start/AI & Automation/Automate accounting

Automate accounting.

Collecting receipts, processing e-invoices, writing invoices, keeping track of payments: we automate the routine in your accounting and prepare everything so that your tax firm can take it over directly.

Starting point

Where time is lost in day-to-day work.

Most businesses know exactly which tasks are a nuisance. What is missing is the time to solve them differently. That is exactly where we come in: with workflows that run in the background and noticeably relieve your team.

Sound familiar?
  • Invoices and receipts arrive by e-mail, post and as photos, and have to be sorted.
  • The e-invoice obligation is coming, and nobody knows exactly what to do.
  • Invoices are only written when there is time again.
  • Open items are chased late or not at all.
  • At month end, receipts are missing, and the tax firm asks for them.

Tools

We work with your systems.

We connect mailbox, banking, your accounting software such as lexoffice or sevDesk, your CRM and the data exchange with the tax firm, for example via the intended DATEV routes.

The technical foundation is usually n8n on servers in Germany. This keeps your data under control, and there are no per-execution fees.

Questions

FAQ

Does this replace our tax firm?

No. The automation does the groundwork, and your tax firm receives complete, cleanly named documents. That saves time on both sides.

Does that make us ready for e-invoicing?

Receiving e-invoices has been mandatory since 2025, and sending follows in 2027 and 2028. We set up receiving, checking and sending so that you are prepared in good time. Details in the guide to e-invoicing.

Where is the best place to start in accounting?

With the receipts from the mailbox. The workflow saves time every day and is the foundation for everything else.
