Double-entry accounting or EÜR (cash-basis accounting), whichever the law requires.

ZepDesk runs both methods: the cash-basis income statement (Einnahmenüberschussrechnung) for small businesses (Kleinunternehmer) and freelancers, and double-entry accounting with SKR03 or SKR04 for businesses that prepare a balance sheet. The chart of accounts is chosen when you set up the company.

Key figures and posting overview in ZepDesk

What the accounting module offers

Journal

All entries in chronological order, filterable by account, period, and document. Reversal instead of deletion; every change is traceable.

Trial balance

Totals and balances per account, with prior-year comparison and drill-down to the individual document.

Fixed assets and depreciation (AfA)

Fixed-asset register, straight-line and declining balance, low-value-asset thresholds (GWG), pool items, and an automatic depreciation run.

Provisions

Recognition, release, and measurement with history, so the financial statements stay auditable.

Period-end close

Lock the month, quarter, and year; after that, only reclassifications with a log are possible.

EÜR

Cash-basis income statement on the official form, straight from the entries and documents.

Every entry has two sides. ZepDesk knows both.

Example: a customer invoice for 3.427,20 € gross with 19 percent VAT (Umsatzsteuer). Keep scrolling and the journal entry builds up and the balance runs to zero, as double-entry accounting requires.

DEBIT 0,00 €
1200 Bank 3.427,20 €
CREDIT 0,00 €
8400 Revenue 19 % 2.880,00 €
1776 VAT 19 % 547,20 €
BALANCE 3.427,20 €

Account numbers follow SKR03. Under SKR04 they differ; ZepDesk assembles the journal entry itself in either chart of accounts.

The chart of accounts fits the legal form

SKR03 or SKR04, preset with the accounts common to your industry. Associations also post across the four spheres under § 64 AO, and corporations use the accounts for the balance sheet and E-Bilanz.

Chart of accounts customizable without losing the statutory mappings.
Automatic account assignment from documents, bank transactions, and invoices.
DATEV export per client for the tax firm.
