Board contracts, extra services & billing
How this is scored
How the stable gets paid: board contracts per box and horse, extra services logged at the moment they are done, prepaid credit, recurring invoices, SEPA direct debit, VAT treatment that a tax adviser accepts, and an export to the accountant.
0 — No billing at all; services are noted somewhere and invoiced by hand in another tool.
3 — A list of services or a price table per horse, but invoices are written outside the system and nothing connects a logged service to a charge.
5 — Board contracts and extra services billed from the system: monthly invoices generated from contracts plus logged services, sent to the boarder, with payment status tracked.
8 — Services logged on the phone where they happen flow into the invoice or a prepaid balance automatically, SEPA direct debit with mandates, VAT rates configurable per service type, cancellation and credit notes, and an export to DATEV or a named accounting tool.
10 — The money side is discharged inside the system: GoBD-compliant numbering and archiving stated, e-invoices (XRechnung/ZUGFeRD) supported, prepaid credit with low-balance warnings, dunning, multiple payers per horse (shares, Reitbeteiligung) split correctly, and every charge traceable to the logged service and the staff member who logged it.
The Tax Adviser
Monthly board invoices go out automatically, calculated on the horses actually present, alongside quotes, credit notes, online payment, automated payment reminders and a VAT journal with a universal accounting export; families and third-party payers are handled, and the claim of compliance with the 2026 French e-invoicing reform is exactly what I want to see. It stops short of the top band: we found no public information on SEPA direct debit with mandates, prepaid credit, or VAT rates configurable per service type, and the accounting export is described as universal rather than to a named tool. 1 2
