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 Integrator

Weighted verdict

Connects the books to the shop, the payment provider and the payroll system. Wants a documented API, e-invoicing both directions, and imports that reconcile rather than duplicate. Reads a Zapier logo as an outsourced integration.

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 Integrator

The captured pages show bookings on fixed categories with VAT, per-account opening balances offset against a general reserve, and an annual statement built from all bookings that the vendor says matches VAT returns and statements one-to-one — a real ledger underneath, with cost centres arriving only as labels in the Plus plan. We found no public information on manual journal postings, a configurable chart of accounts, month-end closing, or period locking. 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 Integrator

Jortt is a Dutch product and makes no GoBD claim; what it does publish is a change history per booking, invoice, payment and payslip showing who, when, how, and previous versus new values, plus a monthly timeline filterable by user. The export page states a seven-year retention duty satisfied by downloading the auditfile, invoices and receipts, but we found no public information on postings becoming unalterable after a close, corrections booked as reversals, or a Verfahrensdokumentation. 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 Integrator

VAT returns are filed electronically with the Belastingdienst from inside the product — the Boekhoudbot books, checks and files — and the annual statement, the KvK deposit and the year-end income or corporate tax filing are all covered by a closing guide, with VAT returns, bookings and statement said to match one-to-one. We found no public information on cross-border cases such as OSS or reverse charge, or on correction filings. 1 5 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 Integrator

This is where the books connect to the money: read-only bank feeds under an own PSD2 licence to virtually all Dutch banks plus Revolut and Mollie, synced nightly, on first login and manually every five minutes, with automatic booking by 1,243 standard rules and up to 250 of your own. Peppol invoices are sent and received, so e-invoicing runs both directions, and purchase invoices are renamed and ordered by booking number with AI scan and recognition from the Plus plan. We found no public information on replacement scanning or compliant archiving of the digital original. 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 Integrator

The handoff format is the auditfile in XAF 4.0.3 as specified by the Belastingdienst, from which the vendor says an accountant builds the annual statement, with corrections to be entered back in Jortt first so books, auditfile and statement stay matched; invoices and receipts travel with it in the exit file. We found no public information on DATEV, a dedicated adviser login, or an audit of what an adviser changed. 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 Integrator

Jortt B.V. is a Dutch contracting entity that says its software is built by its own team in the Netherlands, and the export page is unusually clear that downloading the auditfile, receipts, invoices and year-end accounts satisfies the retention obligation after leaving — with the advice to export after the annual filing. We found no public information on where the books are hosted, on subprocessors — including for the AI assistant it advertises connecting to ChatGPT and Claude — or on certifications. 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 Integrator

We found no public information on prices for the ZZP, MKB or Plus tiers — no monthly figure, billing period, minimum term or VAT treatment appears on the captured pages. The only cost statements are that bank linking costs nothing from Jortt, bookings are unlimited, and updates are included, which leaves a buyer unable to compute a real annual invoice from public pages alone. 1
