Both are created from the postings, submitted with your ELSTER certificate.
Work without VAT, keep the thresholds in view, switch cleanly when you exceed them.
Connect your bank or import a statement, and payments find their receipts on their own.
If your sole proprietorship becomes a UG, you switch the legal form without losing data.
Frequently asked questions from the self-employed
I'm a small-business owner, do I need this?
Even without VAT, income and expenses must be documented and the EÜR prepared. ZepDesk turns that into a single workflow instead of a pile of Excel files, and the e-invoicing obligation already applies to you on receipt anyway.
Can my tax advisor access it?
Yes, with a dedicated role for read access and export, at no extra cost. For the tax firm there is the DATEV export.
What if I later start a GmbH?
You create the new company in the same account and keep working in parallel. Billing is per company, based on legal form.
