Frequently asked questions about Buchführungsheld
Here you'll find answers about our pricing, features, and using the App.
What's the difference from sevdesk, lexware and other bookkeeping tools?
We offer you a full-service bookkeeping solution. Unlike online bookkeeping tools, we take over your entire bookkeeping for you. With online tools like sevdesk and the like, you have to handle the bookkeeping yourself and also file your advance VAT return with the tax office, for example via Elster. From experience, we can tell you that this is very error-prone.
How does Buchführungsheld work?
Upload your receipts via app or browser. Our bookkeepers post everything for you, handle your VAT return, and make sure your books are always up to date. You don't have to worry about a thing.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, you can try Buchführungsheld free for 7 days. During this time you can use all features and upload receipts. Please note that during the trial period we don't yet submit any filings to the tax office or other authorities.
What plans are there and what do they cost?
We currently offer three plans, based on the number of monthly receipts. On top of that, you can add various add-ons.
Which receipts can I upload?
You can upload all business receipts, for example invoices, receipts, bank statements or cash reports. The number of pages doesn't matter – one uploaded document always counts as one receipt. Receipts must be uploaded in the following formats: PDF, JPEG, JPG, PNG.
When will my receipts be booked?
We usually book your receipts a few days after the end of the month so that all data is submitted correctly for the advance VAT return. If you file quarterly VAT returns, your receipts are booked correspondingly later.
How can I change or cancel my plan?
You can adjust your subscription anytime in the customer portal. There you have the option to switch your plan, book add-ons or cancel your subscription.
Does Buchführungsheld handle my preliminary VAT return?
Yes, we handle filing your advance VAT return and communicating with the tax office. For this we need your tax advisor authorization, which you can sign directly in the app.
Is my data secure?
Your data is stored in a German data center certified to ISO 27001. Our processes are fully DSGVO-compliant.
