Home / Reports

Which figures you see, and where they come from.

BWA, trial balance and open items come from the same entries as the VAT return and the annual accounts, without exports and without recalculating; the dashboard adds what comes into and goes out of the bank accounts. Which report someone sees depends on their role in the company.

The numbers build up from your entries.

Figures from the sample account Muster Consulting UG, financial year 2026.

Several companies and AI

Figures per company. Each company has its own reports; you switch through the company switcher. For a holding and its subsidiaries this applies per entity.

With an AI assistant. Through MCP an assistant such as Claude reads the same figures and explains them, with the rights of the person who connects it (early access). More under AI assistant.

What ZepDesk does not take on

No report across several companies. Not for a group either.

No liquidity planning. The cash flow shows the bank transactions that have already happened. Whether the next 14 days are covered is tested by the insolvency risk check, described under Duties of management.

Company switcher in ZepDesk: Muster Consulting UG, Demo & Co. KG, Förderverein Musterhausen e.V. and Atelier Erika Mustermann
