Not sure whether I should take the leap and start using Accountable. Why would I do it?

The unique advantage is that in addition to bookkeeping, you can also do your private tax return with Accountable. This way, you always have your invoices, expenses, profit and taxes under control. In addition, you benefit from the Accountable tax guarantee: In the event of errors due to the Accountable app, we will refund any resulting back taxes up to €500 or €10.000 in the extended guarantee. You have all this in the web version on your desktop or on-the-go in the app at any time.

I am a Freiberufler, is Accountable the right solution for me?

Yes, Accountable is particularly suitable for Freiberufler (freelancers), you have everything you need for bookkeeping and taxes in one tool. Whether you want to scan the invoice from your coffee with your client on the go, send your customised invoice at the end of the day, or submit your VAT return on time and without much effort – with Accountable you save money and time.

I am a Gewerbetreibender, is Accountable the right solution for me?

Yes, because you can also find your Gewerbesteuererklärung (business tax return) directly with us – a service that no one else offers. Accountable adapts to your individual tax situation and helps you save tax

I am a Kleinunternehmer, is Accountable the right solution for me?

Yes, we have developed Accountable specifically for the self-employed and Kleinunternehmer (small business owners). Our GROW plan offers all the features you need as a Kleinunternehmer: you can prepare your annual income tax return, create correct Kleinunternehmer invoices and scan and save your expenses. In GROW, you’re also covered by our tax guarantee. You get all this for €15,50 a month. Accountable automatically adjusts to your individual tax situation.

Is Accountable also suitable for corporations (UG (haftungsbeschränkt), GmbH)?

Currently, Accountable is optimised for freelancers and trade persons. For example, our software supports the profit & loss statement (EÜR) for easy profit determination. Feel free to contact us via chat or email (support@accountable.de) if you have further questions. We work with certified tax advisors who can offer you further support.

Do I need a tax consultant when using the app?

With our tax guarantee, you are additionally protected, because our AI-based software ensures that you do not make any mistakes. If there is a mistake due to the Accountable app, we’ll refund any resulting back taxes up to €500! Of course, Accountable gives you the freedom to decide how you want to work. If you like to work with a tax advisor, you can simply invite them to Accountable and they will have access to your account via the personal tax advisor access. You can also export all data in DATEV format if required.

How secure is Accountable?

With its PSD2 license, Accountable is under the supervision of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) in Bonn (Directive (EU) 2015/2366) and has the strictest security procedures to protect your data. We are regularly audited and have strict reporting requirements. We use recognized security standards (256-bit SSL certificate) to encrypt your confidential data.

Does Accountable support 'Ist- or Soll-Versteuerung' (actual or debit taxation)?

Accountable currently supports actual taxation (Ist-Versteuerung). This means that your VAT is only due when you actually receive the payment from your clients. If you use or are required to use debit taxation (Soll-Versteuerung), Accountable is unfortunately not the best fit for you. With debit taxation, VAT is due based on the invoice date, regardless of when the payment is received. This is standard for corporations like UGs and GmbHs and can be beneficial for high earners. What we support: ✔ Actual taxation for solo self-employed professionals and freelancers ✔ Automatic calculation and reporting of VAT on received payments What we do not support: ❌ Debit taxation with VAT due based on the invoice date ❌ Direct integration for businesses using this taxation method If you’re unsure which taxation method applies to you, feel free to reach out to us in the chat.

All your taxes. One solution.
