Frequently asked questions

Can I use the software entirely in English?

Yes. The whole application is available in English, so international founders, CFOs and finance teams can do bookkeeping, prepare annual financial statements and run every module in English. The statutory output itself — the balance sheet, notes and the files you submit — is produced in German, because German statutory accounts and tax filings must be in German.

Are the filings themselves in English?

No. Under German law, statutory annual financial statements, the E-Bilanz and tax returns must be filed in German. The interface explains everything in English and the AI drafts the German statutory text for you; the documents that go to the Bundesanzeiger, the company register and the tax office are German.

We're a German subsidiary of a foreign parent — does this apply to us?

Yes. Every German corporation (GmbH, UG, AG and others) must keep books under the HGB and prepare annual financial statements under § 264 HGB, regardless of who owns it — including German subsidiaries of US, UK and other foreign groups. The platform handles the German statutory side end to end.

Do I need a German tax advisor?

Not necessarily. Many small GmbHs and UGs prepare and file their own statements, and the software is built to make that possible. If you work with a Steuerberater (tax advisor), you can invite them to review and approve — the module has preparer, reviewer and approver roles.

What does it cost?

Your first annual financial statement per workspace is free, so you can see a complete result before paying. Further statements are priced per fiscal year by size class (€250 for micro companies, €500 for small companies). Bookkeeping and the other add-on modules are monthly subscriptions you can cancel monthly; preparing tax returns is free, and filing an annual return directly through ELSTER costs €50.

Which legal forms are supported?

GmbH, UG (haftungsbeschränkt), AG, SE, KGaA, GmbH & Co. KG and eG (cooperative), plus sole traders and partnerships for bookkeeping and E-Bilanz. The E-Bilanz is currently not available for AG, SE and KGaA. The correct HGB structure, size-class reliefs and disclosures are applied automatically.

Where is my data hosted?

In the EU (Ireland). Data is processed under the GDPR and a data-processing agreement (AVV) is available for your records.

Can I connect my own tools or an AI agent?

Yes. There is a REST API and an MCP server, so you can automate bookkeeping and connect AI agents to your accounting data. See the English guides on connecting AI agents and the bookkeeping API.
