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 — Not a bookkeeping tool; the product writes invoices or tracks spending but keeps no books.
3 — Income and expenses recorded by category, suitable for an EÜR; the chart of accounts and free postings are basic or not described.
5 — Bookkeeping on SKR03 or SKR04 with manual postings, EÜR and double-entry supported, and standard reports such as P&L, BWA or balance sheet.
8 — Full double-entry ledger with opening balances and journals, cost centres, recurring and reversing entries, accruals, multi-year comparatives, and a period close 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 Auditor
This is a bookkeeping package: journals for bank, cash and credit card are configurable, account and journal details are readable, financial reports and dashboards are a core feature, and an annual audit file export confirms bookings are actually kept. The captured pages do not describe double-entry mechanics, a chart of accounts, manual postings, opening balances or a period close with locking. I place it just below a standard small-business ledger. 1 2 4
