The Tax Adviser

They claim 'einfache und doppelte Buchführung' with cost centres, BWA, cashbook and a trial balance, which is more than a pure EÜR list — but the evidence names no SKR03/SKR04, no manual postings or journals, no opening balances, no period close and no locking. Without a chart of accounts I recognise and a closable period, this is a hybrid that sits between the simplified and the double-entry anchors. 2

Not one word about GoBD, immutability, change history, retention period or a Verfahrensdokumentation anywhere in the evidence — the privacy page offers AVV, TOM and a DPO, but nothing on how postings survive an audit. The anchor for zero is exactly this: no retention statement, no GoBD claim, no documentation. 4 2

UStVA goes directly to ELSTER without an extra certificate, EÜR and GuV are produced, and the dashboard tracks the Umsatzsteuerzahllast — that is the backbone of the anchor. But reverse-charge, intra-community supply, OSS, Dauerfristverlängerung and correction filings are entirely absent from the evidence, so I cannot place it at five, let alone eight. 1 2

Online banking across 4,000 banks, app-based receipt scanning with AI category recommendation, and e-invoices in ZUGFeRD/XRechnung both directions with EN 16931 validation — that earns the mid anchor. What is missing is everything the eighth anchor demands: rule-based matching with learning, one-click posting-to-receipt chain, and any documented ersetzendes Scannen so my clients may legally burn the paper. 1 2

A DATEV/ADDISON interface exists and the adviser can be invited into the account rather than emailed a PDF pile — the two legs of anchor five, though nothing says the DATEV export carries receipt images or that my access is read-only. Every plan ships with exactly one user and no adviser seat is priced, and there is no audit of what the adviser touched, so anchor eight is out of reach. 1 2

A German GmbH registered at Amtsgericht Freiburg, a deliberate server location in Germany, plus a published subprocessor section, AVV and TOM — solidly above the mid anchor, and I note the pipeline flagged half these attributes unknown despite the imprint. It stays below eight because the infrastructure is not named, the subprocessor list's completeness is unverifiable from the evidence, and there is no stated export that satisfies ten-year retention when the customer walks away. 3 4

Billing periods of 1/12/24 months, a permanent free tier with its three-invoice limit, a user count of one per plan, and the DATEV interface visible in the paid Rechnung plan — the skeleton of a computable invoice is there. But the evidence carries no euro figures for the paid tiers, no adviser seat or extra user price, marketplace partner costs explicitly excluded, and a 'bis zu 70%' promo that makes the real annual invoice a guessing game. 1 2
