Panel verdict
The AI panel rates Jortt 2.5/5, the mean of 6 judges. Jortt, from the Dutch vendor Jortt B.V., scores highest on documents and banking at 6-7: bank feeds run on the vendor's own PSD2 licence to virtually all Dutch banks plus Revolut and the Mollie business account, matching uses 1,243 standard rules plus 10, 25 or 250 own rules by tier, Peppol e-invoices travel both directions, and AI scan and recognition arrives with the Plus tier. how scores are made

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.

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

There is a working ledger spine: bookings with draft status and full history, per-account opening balances offset automatically against the general reserve, an annual statement in the structure of an NBA 4410 compilation report that matches the VAT returns one to one, and cost-centre and project labels on the top tier. But we found no public information on double-entry structure, a chart of accounts, free manual journal postings, or a period close that locks, so this stays in simplified territory. 1 2 4 6

Report an error

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

The change history is genuine: who and when created a booking, which of four sources made it, a modification view showing the previous and the new value, and a monthly timeline filterable by user. The exit file of auditfile, invoices and receipts, and annual accounts is explicitly meant to satisfy a stated retention duty of at least seven years, and the auditfile follows the format the tax authority itself set. We found no public information on postings becoming unalterable after close, on locking, or on a supplier-maintained process documentation, so audit survival rests on export rather than on the system. 2 5

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 VAT return is filed electronically to the tax authority through jortt itself — the bot books, checks and submits — and the year-end chain is covered: a 4410-structured annual statement, the KvK deposit on the upper tiers, the income or corporate tax filing explained in a year-end guide, and payroll year-end included. We found no public information on reverse-charge, intra-community or cross-border cases, or on correction filings, which keeps this below the complete-filing level. 1 6

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 feeds run on the vendor's own PSD2 licence across virtually all Dutch banks plus Revolut and Mollie, reading nightly and on demand every five minutes, and matching is rule-based — 1,243 standard rules plus up to 250 of your own — with AI scan-and-recognise and Peppol invoicing both directions. Incoming documents are renamed and ordered by booking number and travel in the exit file, which implies the link to postings. We found no public information on a documented replacement-scanning regime or on matching that learns beyond the rules, so I credit the automation but keep exceptions on my desk. 1 3 4 5

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

The accountant gets a named, documented exchange format — an auditfile in XAF 4.0.3 built to the tax authority's own specification, from which they prepare the annual accounts — and corrections from their review are entered back in jortt so books, auditfile and statement line up again. We found no public information on the adviser having their own access into the system or on a bidirectional exchange, so this is a well-formed export rather than a shared workspace. 5 6

Report an error

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 contracting entity is the Dutch Jortt B.V., the software is built by its own team in the Netherlands, and there is a real exit story: the auditfile, the invoice and receipt download and the annual accounts together are declared sufficient for a retention duty of at least seven years after you stop. But we found no public information on where the books are hosted, on named infrastructure, or on a published subprocessor list, and nothing independent is on record, so I can confirm the way out but not the chain itself. 1 5

Pricing transparency

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

Tier names and their limits are public — ten own rules on ZZP, twenty-five on MKB, two hundred and fifty on Plus, unlimited bookings, bank connection free from jortt with the occasional bank charging — plus a thirty-day trial and a ninety-day refund. But the captured pages show no price figures at all: no euro amount for any tier, no billing period, no VAT treatment, so no business can compute its annual invoice from what is published here. 1
