From receipt to a finished advance VAT return
Four steps, no retyping. Scroll through the process.
Invoicing program with e-invoicing: XRechnung and ZUGFeRD
Quote, delivery note, and invoice all come from one document, and the live preview shows the finished PDF as you type. You send it as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD under EU standard CEN 16931, after which the document appears in your accounting and open items.
Bank reconciliation and receipt capture with OCR
Connect your business account via finAPI or import a bank statement as MT940 or CSV. ZepDesk suggests the matching receipt for every transaction, and the OCR reads the amount, date, and tax rate from the photo.
Advance VAT return, year-end financial statements, and E-Bilanz straight from your entries.
Every filing comes from your existing entries, with no transferring and no recalculating: the advance VAT return and the recapitulative statement (Zusammenfassende Meldung) go to the tax office via ELSTER, while the balance sheet and E-Bilanz, corporate and trade tax, and the BWA, EÜR, and trial balance are ready at the touch of a button.
