What people like

Receipts and invoices can be photographed and auto-filed, and the software stays current with German GoBD tax-audit rules without you needing to track the changes yourself.

Worth knowing

It's built specifically around German tax and accounting rules, so it's a weaker fit if your business operates mainly outside Germany.
