The panel's verdict
DATEV Unternehmen online, from DATEV eG of Nuremberg, is built as the hub for exchanging receipts, data and documents between a company and its tax adviser, and it is strongest there: adviser handoff scores run 7-9, its highest, crediting document release via MyDATEV Kanzlei and remote maintenance by the adviser's firm. Tax and filings scores sit at 4 — the Anlage EÜR, AVEÜR, SZ and, for partnerships, SE and AVSE go to ELSTER as individual or total values — but coverage stops at the income side. The judges genuinely split on documents and banking: high scores credit four documented bank routes including EBICS 3.0 and daily data-center retrieval, lower ones find no public information on OCR capture or matching rules. They split too on sovereignty: bank connections sit in the DATEV data center, yet no sovereignty attributes are on record and no public information appears on hosting location or a subprocessor list. Bookkeeping core scores 3-4 on an EÜR route fed by the adviser's ledger, GoBD compliance 2-4 on consulting rather than product behaviour, with pricing transparency at 0.
Speaks for it
- Adviser handoff scores of 7-9 for native exchange of receipts, data and documents with the tax adviser, including document release via MyDATEV Kanzlei and remote maintenance by the adviser's firm
- Tax and filings scores of 4 for the Anlage EÜR, AVEÜR, SZ and, for partnerships, SE and AVSE, transmitted via ELSTER as individual or total values
- Bank traffic documented across four routes — EBICS 3.0, daily data-center retrieval, PIN/TAN via finAPI and camt.053 file import
- Digital receipts flow from DATEV-Marktplatz partner programs into the adviser exchange via the Belegbilderservice
Held against it
- GoBD compliance scores of 2-4 rest on consulting and specialist literature, with no public information on unalterable postings, change history or retention as product features
- Filing coverage shown stops at the income side — we found no public information on UStVA, reverse charge or OSS
- We found no public information on OCR capture or matching rules that learn, leaving the pairing work after automated retrieval undescribed
- No sovereignty attributes are on record, and we found no public information on where the cloud applications are hosted or on a subprocessor list
- Pricing transparency sits at 0 — no price, tier or billing period appears on the captured pages
Best for
- You hand your bookkeeping to a tax adviser who works natively in DATEV and want the collaboration hub itself
- You run an Einzelunternehmen, Personengesellschaft, Verein or Stiftung and file the EÜR family of forms via ELSTER
- Your adviser books in DATEV Kanzlei-Rechnungswesen and you want account balances and inventories carried into the Anlage EÜR
- You want daily automatic bank retrieval — EBICS 3.0 or the data-center procedure — feeding the adviser's workflow
Avoid if
- You run your accounts without a tax adviser — the product's stated purpose is the exchange between company and tax adviser
- You want the double-entry ledger in your own hands — the captured pages show an EÜR route fed by balances from the adviser's Kanzlei software
- Your filing year runs through VAT returns — what the pages show covers the Anlage EÜR family carried into the income tax or Feststellung return

Bookkeeping core

How this is scored
Double-entry, the chart of accounts (SKR03/SKR04), postings, journals, opening balances and period closing — the ledger underneath the pretty screens.
0 — Income-and-expense lists only; no double-entry, no chart of accounts, no journal.
3 — Simplified bookkeeping suitable for EÜR with a fixed account list; no free posting, no period close.
5 — Double-entry with SKR03/SKR04, manual postings, journals, opening balances and a month-end close.
8 — Full ledger with cost centres, recurring and reversing entries, accruals, multi-year comparatives, and a documented close checklist with locking.
10 — An accountant's ledger: configurable charts including customised accounts, period locking with audit, foreign currency with documented valuation, group or multi-entity handling, and reporting that reconciles to the trial balance.
The Bookkeeper
These pages describe an EÜR path under § 4 Abs. 3 fed with booked account balances from the adviser's Kanzlei-Rechnungswesen, alongside bullet points for asset accounting, cash management and invoicing. We found no public information on SKR03/SKR04, journals, free postings or a period close on the customer-facing side — the ledger that closes the month is not shown, only that balances arrive from the adviser's program. 1 2 5 6
The Tax Adviser
The pages describe a bookkeeping program running from capturing transactions to comprehensive financial reports, with fixed assets managed and booked and booked account balances handed from the office accounting into the EÜR application — more than an income-and-expense list. But we found no public information on the chart of accounts, journals, manual postings, opening balances or a period close, which is what I need to see before I trust a ledger. 1 5 2
The Auditor
The captured pages show an EÜR workflow — booked account balances and inventories transferred from Kanzlei-Rechnungswesen into the Anlage EÜR and AVEÜR, plus asset accounting and proper cash management — which is above simplified income-and-expense lists. But we found no public information on double-entry with SKR03/SKR04, manual postings, journals, opening balances or a period close with locking on these pages. 1 2 5 6
The Founder
The captured pages centre on EÜR Steuern, which works out profit by Einnahmenüberschussrechnung under § 4 Abs. 3 EStG and takes finished account balances from the adviser's Kanzlei-Rechnungswesen — simplified EÜR bookkeeping, with the real ledger living in the Kanzlei. The general bookkeeping page lists asset accounting, cash management and invoicing as themes, but we found no public information on double-entry mechanics, SKR03/SKR04, free postings or a period close in the company-facing application. 1 2 5 6
The Integrator
The captured pages centre on the EÜR route — a cloud application computing the taxable result per § 4 Abs. 3 EStG from account balances handed over by the Kanzlei ledger — with asset accounting, proper cash management and invoicing named as capabilities. What the pages never show is the ledger itself: SKR03/SKR04, journals, opening balances and period close go unmentioned, so the double-entry machinery sits behind the adviser's program rather than in anything captured here. 1 5 6
The Skeptic
The captured evidence centres on the EÜR Steuern cloud application, which works out profit by Einnahmen-Überschussrechnung under § 4 Abs. 3 EStG from account balances handed over from the adviser's Kanzlei software — simplified, EÜR-grade bookkeeping with no free posting or period close shown. The general bookkeeping page stays at marketing level (capturing business transactions, posting fixed assets, orderly cash records); we found no public information on SKR03/SKR04, journals, opening balances or a month-end close on the enterprise side, because the double-entry ledger, as far as these pages tell it, lives in the Kanzlei, not in the company's hands. 1 2 5
GoBD, immutability & audit
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether the record survives a tax audit: unalterable postings, complete change history, retention across the statutory period, and a Verfahrensdokumentation the vendor actually supplies.
0 — Postings can be edited or deleted without trace; no retention statement, no GoBD claim, no documentation.
3 — GoBD asserted on the marketing page with nothing behind it — no described audit trail, no documentation offered, no statement on retention.
5 — Postings become unalterable after close with corrections booked as reversals, a change log exists, and the statutory retention period is stated.
8 — Documented GoBD conformity with a supplied Verfahrensdokumentation template, complete and exportable audit trail, receipts linked to postings, and a GoBD-compliant data export (GDPdU/Z3) for the auditor.
10 — Audit-ready as a product feature: an independent GoBD certification or attestation published, Verfahrensdokumentation maintained per release, tamper-evident journals, retention executed across the full statutory period, and an export the Betriebsprüfer accepts without argument.
The Bookkeeper
GoBD appears here as a subject of specialist literature and consulting — a Kompaktwissen on the GoBD update, full-day on-site consulting, and advice on Verfahrensdokumentation for DATEV members. That is a support programme rather than product evidence: we found no public information on unalterable postings, a change history, statutory retention or a Verfahrensdokumentation supplied with the software itself. 3 4
The Tax Adviser
GoBD appears as a consulting subject — advice on Verfahrensdokumentation for members, a GoBD-update handbook, full-day on-site consulting for practices — rather than as product statements about the software itself. We found no public information on unalterable postings, a change log, the statutory retention period, or a Verfahrensdokumentation supplied with the product. 3 4
The Auditor
The GoBD pages offer members consulting on the Verfahrensdokumentation and publish specialist literature including a GoBD-update compendium and a book on replacement scanning, so documentation support genuinely exists. For the product itself, however, we found no public information on unalterable postings, corrections booked as reversals, a change history, or the statutory retention period — statements a Betriebsprüfung expects from the vendor, not from advisory. 3 4
The Founder
What the captured pages offer on GoBD is advisory: consulting on Verfahrensdokumentation for members, plus a catalogue of books from a Kompaktwissen title on the GoBD update to 'Ersetzendes Scannen — Abschied vom Papier'. We found no public information on unalterable postings, a change log, retention statements, or a Verfahrensdokumentation supplied with the software itself. 3 4
The Integrator
GoBD has real substance behind the marketing claim: consulting on the Verfahrensdokumentation for members and a specialist literature list covering GoBD updates and replacement scanning. But those are services and books, and we found no public information on unalterable postings, change history, statutory retention or an auditor's export as product features. 3 4
The Skeptic
The GoBD pages present consulting on Verfahrensdokumentation aimed at DATEV members and a bookshop list including 'Kompaktwissen "Aktualisierung der GoBD"' and 'Ersetzendes Scannen – Abschied vom Papier' — the topic is present as a paid service, not as a described behaviour of the record. I have seen worse: pages that print 'GoBD-konform' with nothing behind it; here the pages do not even print the claim, and we found no public information on unalterable postings, a change history, the statutory retention period, or a Verfahrensdokumentation supplied with the product. 3 4
Tax handling & filings
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
VAT logic and the filings that follow: UStVA, ELSTER submission, EÜR or Bilanz, OSS for cross-border sales, and reverse-charge handling.
0 — No VAT logic beyond a rate field; no filings, no ELSTER.
3 — VAT rates and a UStVA figure to copy out by hand; no electronic submission, no special cases.
5 — UStVA prepared and submitted electronically via ELSTER, EÜR or a simple balance sheet produced, and reverse-charge and intra-community supply handled.
8 — The above plus OSS handling for cross-border B2C, Zusammenfassende Meldung, small-business (§19) and Ist/Soll taxation, permanent extension (Dauerfristverlängerung), and E-Bilanz where relevant.
10 — The filing year is handled end to end: every routine German filing generated and submitted electronically with validation before sending, cross-border VAT determined from the transaction rather than by hand, and correction filings supported.
The Bookkeeper
EÜR Steuern is a real filing machine: Anlagen EÜR, AVEÜR, SZ, SE and AVSE built from transferred account balances and inventories, transmitted to ELSTER as individual or summary values, with the result carried into the income tax or Feststellung return. The captured pages cover the income side only — we found no public information on UStVA, VAT logic, reverse charge or OSS. 5 6
The Tax Adviser
The EÜR year-end is handled electronically end to end: Anlage EÜR with AVEÜR, SZ and, for partnerships, SE and AVSE, transmitted via ELSTER with a choice of individual or summary values, and the profit carried into the income tax or Feststellung return — exactly what I want arriving from a client. We found no public information on the VAT side, though: no UStVA, no reverse charge, no OSS on the captured pages. 5 6
The Auditor
The Anlage EÜR together with AVEÜR, SZ, SE and AVSE is created from transferred account balances and inventories and transmitted electronically to ELSTER, with the operator choosing individual or summary values and the profit carried into the income tax or Feststellung declaration. For the rest of the filing year — UStVA, reverse-charge, intra-community supply, OSS — we found no public information on these pages. 5 6
The Founder
EÜR Steuern builds the Anlage EÜR with its schedules and transmits individual or total values to the tax office electronically via ELSTER straight from the cloud application — that genuinely removes the ELSTER evening. But the filing story captured here stops at income and feststellung returns: we found no public information on UStVA, VAT logic, reverse-charge or OSS for this product. 5 6
The Integrator
The EÜR leg is genuinely electronic end to end: Anlage EÜR, AVEÜR, SE, AVSE and SZ are built from account balances and inventories and transmitted to the Finanzverwaltung via ELSTER as individual or total values, then carried into the income tax or Feststellung return. Beyond income-tax filings the pages go quiet: we found no public information on UStVA, VAT special cases, reverse-charge or cross-border schemes. 5 6
The Skeptic
EÜR Steuern is evidenced end to end for the EÜR family: Anlagen EÜR, AVEÜR, SZ, SE and AVSE created and transmitted electronically via ELSTER, with the choice of individual or summary values, immediate or deferred sending, handling for Vereine, Stiftungen and Personengesellschaften, and profit carried into the income tax or Feststellung return. But that is the income side only; we found no public information on UStVA, VAT rates, reverse-charge or OSS in the captured pages, which holds it below the level where the whole filing year is handled. 5 6
Receipts, banking & matching
panel disagrees
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How evidence and money get into the ledger: bank feeds, receipt capture, OCR, matching rules, and whether the digital receipt is legally sufficient on its own.
0 — Manual entry only; no bank connection, no receipt storage.
3 — Bank statement import by file and receipt upload as plain attachments; matching is entirely manual.
5 — Automatic bank feeds for the major German banks, receipt upload with OCR, suggested matches, and receipts linked to their postings.
8 — PSD2 feeds across many institutions, rule-based automatic matching with learning, e-invoice handling (ZUGFeRD/XRechnung) both directions, and replacement scanning (ersetzendes Scannen) documented so paper can be destroyed.
10 — The evidence chain is closed: every posting reaches its receipt in one click, e-invoicing inbound and outbound as standard, documented compliant archiving of the digital original, and matching accurate enough that exceptions rather than transactions are the work.
The Bookkeeper
The banking half is solid: automatic daily retrieval via the DATEV data center, EBICS 3.0, a third-party interface through finAPI, camt.053 import after MT940's removal, and electronic sending of payment orders — feeds are clearly not the problem. Receipts travel as digital images from marketplace partner programs and through document exchange with the client, but we found no public information on OCR capture, matching rules or documented replacement scanning, so the exception count after automation stays unmeasured. 7 8 10 8
The Tax Adviser
Bank traffic is covered in real depth: automatic daily retrieval from the DATEV data center, EBICS 3.0, PIN/TAN via the finAPI third-party interface, camt.053 file import after MT940's retirement, automated adoption and booking of retrieved transactions, and digital receipts transferred from marketplace partner programs into the exchange with the adviser. We found no public information on OCR or rule-based matching with learning, so this sits below the top anchors. 7 8 8
The Auditor
Bank connections arrive by four documented routes — EBICS 3.0, the DATEV data-center procedure retrieving every morning, PIN/TAN via finAPI, and camt.053 file import — and digital receipts flow from marketplace partner programs into the platform for exchange with the adviser. We found no public information on OCR, rule-based or suggested matching, or explicit linking of the receipt to its posting. 7 8 8
The Founder
Banking is the strong side: daily automatic retrieval into the DATEV data centre via the Rechenzentrum procedure, EBICS 3.0, PIN/TAN through finAPI, and camt.053 now that MT940 has been retired — real feeds — plus receipts and documents moving digitally through the Belegbilderservice and the exchange with the adviser. We found no public information on OCR capture, rule-based matching that learns, or replacement scanning documented as a product feature rather than a book title. 7 8 10 8
The Integrator
The payment stack is the strongest I have scored: EBICS 3.0 with automatic retrieval once set up, daily collection through the data-center service, camt.053 after MT940's removal, PIN/TAN retrieval via a third-party interface, and a Payment-Cloud infrastructure that adopts and processes account transactions automatically. Digital receipts flow in from marketplace partner programs through the Belegbilderservice and e-invoices and sales documents are exchanged and sent, though we found no public information on OCR capture, matching rules with learning, or replacement scanning as a documented feature rather than a book title. 1 7 8 8
The Skeptic
Bank connectivity is genuinely broad and documented: EBICS 3.0 with automatic retrieval, PIN/TAN via the finAPI third-party interface, daily morning retrieval by DATEV from its Rechenzentrum, file import in camt.053 with MT940 retired November 2025, an automatable Bankdatenservice for electronic booking, and digital receipts arriving via the Belegbilderservice from marketplace partner programs. What we found no public information on is the intelligence in between — OCR on captured receipts, suggested matches, rule-based learning — and replacement scanning appears only as a book title rather than a documented capability, so the money arrives by itself while the pairing work stays undescribed. 7 8 8
Tax adviser handoff
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the books reach the Steuerberater — DATEV above all — and whether the adviser can work in the system rather than around it.
0 — No adviser access and no accounting export; the year-end is a pile of PDFs.
3 — Generic CSV or Excel export described as "suitable for your tax adviser", with no named format.
5 — A documented DATEV export (postings and, ideally, receipts) plus a read-only login for the adviser.
8 — DATEV export including receipt images with correct linking, or a maintained DATEV interface; the adviser gets their own scoped access with an audit of what they changed.
10 — The adviser is a first-class user: bidirectional DATEV exchange including corrections coming back, or a certified interface; period handover with locking, and a workflow where adviser queries are resolved inside the system.
The Bookkeeper
This is what the product is: the hub where Kanzlei and client exchange receipts, data and documents for financial accounting and payroll, with remote maintenance by the adviser's firm, a document release step via MyDATEV Kanzlei, and booked balances plus the Anlage EÜR arriving from Kanzlei-Rechnungswesen in one click. The adviser works natively rather than around the system; we found no public information on period handover with locking or an audit trail of what the adviser changed. 2 5 9 10
The Tax Adviser
This is the one product built around my side of the desk: receipts, data and documents are exchanged between company and tax adviser natively, the collaboration hub covers financial accounting and payroll, documents are released through the office platform, and rights are granted per application via central rights management — no export needed because the adviser works in the same system. We found no public information on corrections coming back through the interface or on period handover with locking, which the top anchor would require. 2 5 9 10
The Auditor
Here the product is the handoff itself: exchange of receipts, data and documents between company and Steuerberater, booking either in a DATEV program or handed over entirely to the adviser's Kanzlei-Rechnungswesen, document release via MyDATEV Kanzlei, and remote maintenance by the adviser's firm. What keeps this short of the top is that we found no public information on a period handover with locking or an audit of what the adviser changed. 2 5 9 10
The Founder
This product exists for the handoff: exchange of receipts, data and documents between company and Steuerberater, digital receipt images arriving via the Belegbilderservice, document release in MyDATEV Kanzlei, rights management, and even remote maintenance by my adviser's firm — and the native DATEV world spares me any export conversion. We found no public information on correction postings flowing back to me or on an audit trail of what the adviser changed, which is what keeps it off the top rung. 2 5 7 9 10
The Integrator
This product is built with the adviser at the centre: Unternehmen online exists to exchange receipts, data and documents with the Kanzlei, ties into MyDATEV Kanzlei for document release, and the adviser firm can even run remote maintenance on the client. The pages spell out paths for booking with DATEV software, without it, or handing the books over entirely. Period handover with locking and an audit of what the adviser changed are the pieces we found no public information on. 2 5 9 10
The Skeptic
This is the one place where the product is its own answer: Unternehmen online is described as the hub for collaboration between company and tax adviser for financial accounting and payroll, with document and receipt exchange, a MyDATEV Kanzlei connection for releasing documents, remote maintenance by the adviser firm, and explicit paths for handing the bookkeeping over entirely. The format question does not arise because everything shown is native DATEV; what we found no public information on is an audit of what the adviser changed and a documented workflow for corrections coming back, which is what keeps it from the top of the scale. 2 7 9 10
European sovereignty
panel opinion
panel disagrees
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Where the books live and who could be compelled to produce them — plus, uniquely here, whether statutory retention survives leaving the vendor. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated or non-EU, subprocessors unnamed — with a ten-year retention obligation attached to data held abroad.
3 — EU hosting offered while the contracting entity is non-EU, or the subprocessor list is absent.
5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain — OCR, AI categorisation, support tooling — are non-EU without an explained safeguard.
8 — EU or German hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, full subprocessor list published, and a stated export that satisfies retention if the contract ends.
10 — Sovereign and durable: German or EU hosting throughout, every subprocessor European, certification published, and a documented archive export that keeps the customer compliant for the full retention period after they leave.
The Bookkeeper
DATEV eG of Nuremberg contracts in the EU and runs its own data centers for the bank connections, with finAPI named as the third-party retrieval interface. Beyond that, we found no public information on hosting location for the cloud, a published subprocessor list, certification, or an export that preserves retention after a customer leaves. 8 10 8
The Tax Adviser
The vendor is a Nuremberg cooperative and bank connections are described in the DATEV data center, which is reassuring but is not a hosting statement. We found no public information on where the cloud applications are hosted, no published subprocessor list beyond the finAPI interface named for PIN/TAN retrieval, and nothing on an export that preserves retention after leaving the vendor. 8 10 8
The Auditor
Bank connections sit in the DATEV-Rechenzentrum, the platform is described as a secure cloud solution, and finAPI is at least named as the third-party interface. We found no public information on a published subprocessor list, a certification, or an export that satisfies statutory retention if the customer leaves the vendor — the piece a long audit horizon actually needs. 8 10 8
The Founder
A Nuremberg cooperative running bank connections in its own named DATEV data centre is about as German as hosting gets, and the cloud application is presented as a secure solution with location-independent access. Beyond that we found no public information on a published subprocessor list, a certification, or an export that would keep my retention duty alive if I left. 8 10 8
The Integrator
DATEV eG of Nuremberg is a German cooperative, and the bank connections demonstrably live in the DATEV data center. Beyond that the record thins out: we found no public information on a subprocessor list, on where the cloud applications themselves are hosted, or on an export that keeps statutory retention alive if the contract ends — and the third-party interface used for PIN/TAN retrieval is named without any location. 8 10
The Skeptic
The payment pages place bank connections inside a DATEV data center behind a migration to the Payment-Cloud-Infrastruktur, access is gated by SmartCard, mIDentity or SmartLogin, and the vendor presents a secure cloud solution — European in the parts the captured pages actually show. But no sovereignty attributes were independently on record, and we found no public information on where the application data is hosted as standard, on a subprocessor list, or on an archive export that would satisfy statutory retention if a customer leaves. 8 9 10 8
Pricing transparency
not rated — the vendor publishes no price
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a business can compute the real annual invoice — including the bookings, users, bank accounts and adviser access they actually need — from public pages alone.
0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.
3 — A headline monthly price exists, but booking or document limits, extra users or the tier where DATEV export begins are unstated.
5 — Tier prices public with billing period stated and the main limits given, but at least one commonly needed piece (DATEV export, extra bank accounts, adviser seat) sits in an unpriced tier.
8 — Every tier and add-on priced publicly with limits, overage, minimum term and VAT treatment stated; adviser access priced or explicitly free.
10 — Complete price computability: annual invoice derivable for a given transaction volume, user count and feature set, including overage and the year-end extras.
The Bookkeeper
The captured pages describe tours, help resources and product functions, and we found no public information on prices, tiers, booking limits, billing terms or how a business would actually buy this. The only figure resembling money in the material is the fee value handed to the adviser's invoice writing — which prices the adviser's work, not the software. 1 5 9 10
The Tax Adviser
None of the captured pages shows a price, a tier or a billing period, and the only free item mentioned anywhere is the initial consultation for partner onboarding. A business cannot compute any part of its annual invoice from these pages; with this vendor that conversation evidently runs through the tax adviser rather than the website. 1 7 9
The Auditor
None of the captured pages shows any price, tier, booking or user limit, minimum term or VAT treatment — on this evidence a business cannot compute any part of the annual invoice from public pages. Every cost question is a conversation with the cooperative or the kanzlei. 1 9 10
The Founder
Across the captured product pages — bookkeeping, Unternehmen online, EÜR Steuern — I found no public price, tier, limit, billing period or VAT treatment at all; what the pages do show is purchasable literature and bookable full-day on-site consulting. For a twelve-person shop budgeting the year, the invoice here starts with a conversation with my Steuerberater rather than a published figure I could plan against. 1 4 9
The Integrator
The captured pages show no price at all — no tiers, no per-user or per-mandant figures, not even a headline number — and the only cost statement anywhere is free initial consultations for the partner-interface setup. A business cannot begin to compute an annual invoice from these pages. 1 7 9
The Skeptic
We found no public information on pricing in any captured page — no tier names, no monthly or annual figures, no booking or document limits, no price for an additional bank account, and no indication of which package the adviser collaboration sits in. A business cannot compute a single euro of its annual invoice from what is published here, and for a cooperative selling through the tax profession that opacity is presumably the model, but it is not transparency. 1 5
