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

Jortt alternatives, European ones first →

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

The Founder

Weighted verdict

Runs a twelve-person company and does the books on a Sunday. Wants bank feeds that match themselves, invoices out in a minute, and the VAT return submitted without learning ELSTER. Will pay for the hour saved, and notices when the headline price was not the invoice.

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 Founder

The XAF auditfile and an annual statement built to the structure of NBA Standaard 4410 tell me there is a real ledger under the pretty screens, with opening balance bookings per account, negative balances handled, cost centres via labels in the top tier, and a documented year-end closing guide. But I found no public information on manual journal entries, recurring or reversing postings, accruals, period locking with an audit, or anything resembling a German chart of accounts, so my SKR-based year-end would be off the map. 1 4 6

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 Founder

The change history is genuinely good — who, when and how anything was made or changed, old versus new values, a monthly timeline filterable by user, and even payslip history — and the export advice spells out a seven-year retention story built from the auditfile, the invoices and the annual accounts. I found no public information on postings becoming unalterable after close, on a Verfahrensdokumentation, or on tamper-evident journals, so I am trusting the trail rather than a lock. 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 Founder

VAT returns are filed electronically to the Belastingdienst straight from the system, and the Boekhoudbot books, checks and files on its own — that is exactly the hour saved I pay for. But this is Dutch VAT: I found no public information on ELSTER, EÜR or a balance sheet for German purposes, OSS, reverse charge or correction filings, so for my German filings the evidence tells me nothing. 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 Founder

This is the part I care about most, and it is the strongest: an own PSD2 licence, feeds from virtually all Dutch banks plus Revolut and the Mollie business account, nightly sync with a five-minute manual pull, and 1,243 standard rules plus up to 250 of my own letting the Boekhoudbot do the matching. Receipt scanning with AI recognition, purchase invoices filed by booking number, and Peppol e-invoices in and out are all evidenced too. I found no public information on replacement scanning or documented compliant archiving of the digital original, which is where I stop short. 1 3 4

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 Founder

The handoff path exists and is documented: an XAF 4.0.3 auditfile in the format the Belastingdienst specified, accountants building the annual accounts from it, and corrections routed back into the books so auditfile, bookings and statement match one-to-one again. I found no public information on a DATEV export or a dedicated adviser login, and my own Steuerberater lives in DATEV, so as a workflow this serves a Dutch accountant, not mine. 5 6

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 Founder

Dutch vendor, software built by their own team in the Netherlands, a processor agreement on offer, and an exit file that is explicitly said to satisfy the retention obligation for at least seven years — that durability clause I rarely see anyone write down. But there is no independently sourced sovereignty record at all, and I found no public information on where the books are hosted, on a subprocessor list, or on any certification; connecting the books to ChatGPT or Claude via MCP is offered with no stated safeguard. 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 Founder

I got tier names, rule counts of 10, 25 and 250, unlimited bookings, a 30-day free trial, 90-day money back, and even a note that bank linking costs nothing and some banks charge — but not a single price figure anywhere in what was captured. I cannot compute an annual invoice from public pages, and that is the first thing I check before the demo call. 1 5
