Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Bookkeeper

Weighted verdict

Posts the month and closes it. Wants a real ledger with SKR03/04, recurring entries, cost centres and a close that locks. Judges receipt capture by how many exceptions are left after the automation, not by the demo video.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Bookkeeper

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.

Report an error

The Bookkeeper

Payments automatically matched to open invoices and purchase receipts booked as mutations imply postings exist, but we found no public information on double-entry, a chart of accounts, journals, opening balances, or any month-end close with locking. From my chair this is a marketing page, not a ledger I could close a month in. 1

GoBD, immutability & audit

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.

Report an error

The Bookkeeper

"Erkend door de Belastingdienst" is a Dutch tax-authority recognition, not a statement about record integrity; we found no public information on unalterable postings, a change log, the statutory retention period, or a Verfahrensdokumentation. If a German Betriebsprüfer arrived tomorrow, I would have nothing to hand over. 1

Tax handling & filings

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.

Report an error

The Bookkeeper

The routine VAT return is prepared automatically and submitted with one button through a direct link to the Belastingdienst, which is electronic filing properly done. We found no public information on reverse-charge, intra-community supply, an EÜR or balance sheet equivalent, OSS, or correction filings, so the special cases are all unaccounted for. 1

Receipts, banking & matching

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.

Report an error

The Bookkeeper

Bank coupling, Scan & Herken capture of receipts and invoices, automatic matching of payments to open invoices, and Autopilot turning purchase documents into mutations are all evidenced, so money and paper do reach the ledger automatically. We found no public information on e-invoicing formats, rule learning, replacement scanning, or documented archiving — and no exception-rate figures, which is what I judge capture by. 1

Tax adviser handoff

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.

Report an error

The Bookkeeper

A free link of the administration to a bookkeeper or administration office, an office finder, and an Autopilot aimed at accountants show the adviser working inside the system rather than around it. We found no public information on a DATEV export, a documented exchange format, scoped adviser access, or an audit of what the adviser changed. 1

European sovereignty

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.

Report an error

The Bookkeeper

The vendor presents as Dutch with a privacy statement and general terms, but the sovereignty attributes are empty: we found no public information on hosting location, named infrastructure, subprocessors, or an export that satisfies retention after leaving. An EU-facing vendor with an unpublished chain is unverified, not sovereign. 1

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

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.

Report an error

The Bookkeeper

The free entry points are stated exactly — a free account including one free administration, a free trial without obligations, fifteen months free for starters, and a free adviser link — but we found no public information on paid tier prices, booking or document limits, billing period, minimum term, or VAT treatment. I cannot compute a real annual invoice for a going concern from this. 1
