In the firm cockpit (activated after review) you see status, follow-ups and export readiness of all connected clients; each client company has its own inbox. The default workflow stays client-led: the client exports the tax-advisor package ZIP and sends it to you. Direct transfer to DATEV Unternehmen online is in preparation; DATEV's technical review is still pending.

The problem you already know

  • Forwarding PDFs by email. Sorting receipts chronologically. Typing DATEV batches by hand. A separate folder for every client. With 40–80 clients this becomes weekly search and follow-up time you cannot bill.

From 2027: what the issuing obligation means for your clients

  • From 1 January 2027, clients with more than EUR 800,000 total turnover in the prior year must issue e-invoices in domestic B2B (§ 27 (38) UStG); for all others the transition rule runs until the end of 2027. At the same time every client receives more structured incoming invoices, because their larger suppliers switch over. For the firm this means: check thresholds, review incoming invoices, standardise hand-overs.

  • Check the threshold per client: 2026 total turnover under § 19 (2) UStG — clients above it issue invoices after 31 December 2026 as e-invoices, including for supplies made in 2026.

  • Review incoming invoices: from 2027 a paper or PDF invoice in domestic B2B is only a proper invoice if an exception or transition rule applies to the supplier (UStAE section 15.2a (1)).

  • Standardise the hand-over: every client company gets its own inbox; XML originals are validated, kept unchanged and reach the firm as DATEV CSV or the tax-adviser package.

Multi-client cockpit

One interface for 40–80 clients: dedicated inbox address, search and filtering, metrics, and client detail pages with open review cases and export readiness.

Client master data for DATEV

SKR03/SKR04, advisor number, client number, fiscal-year start and default creditor are maintained per client so exports do not need to be rebuilt inside the firm.

DATEV master-data import

Account labels and DebKred_Stamm are imported and reviewed per client. Creditor suggestions are manually confirmed before every assignment; no creditor is created automatically.

Supplier-level default account coding

Supplier and expense accounts are stored per client and supplier and included in available file exports. Changes remain visible in the history.

Tax-advisor package ZIP

The default handoff without a firm login: clients export a ZIP with DATEV CSV, originals, readable previews, manifest, booking suggestions and README, then send it to the advisor.

DATEV handoff with client separation

CSV posting batches per client, original files and audit trail stay separated. Direct DATEV transfer remains clearly marked as beta until production approval is active.

Client health & triage

Every client carries a health score (Healthy / Needs attention / At risk) with its top reason in the cockpit; the list sorts the clients that need attention to the top. Computed deterministically from open backlog and access state — explainable, no AI.

Supplier intelligence & IBAN watch

Review previously observed IBANs and recurring findings per supplier. Check changed bank details yourself; the display does not verify account ownership.

Prüfungsmappe for the audit

For each invoice a GoBD-oriented evidence pack: invoice identity, file provenance with SHA-256 checksum, validation result, processing and export timeline, the audit trail and a retention summary — as Markdown or as a ZIP with the original file, with no data changes.

How the firm workflow works

  1. Invite clients: you share your invitation link, the client registers on its own and consents to firm access. It then appears in your cockpit with its own inbox address; suppliers send e-invoices to that address.
  2. The client reviews or approves invoices first — you see relevant cases with status, search, filters and export readiness in the firm view.
  3. Account labels and DebKred_Stamm support account coding and match suggestions; creditor assignments are manually confirmed, never auto-created.
  4. Stored creditor and expense accounts per supplier flow into DATEV CSV, direct transfer and the tax-advisor package; changes stay auditable.
  5. Default path: the client exports the tax-advisor package ZIP and sends it to you. Direct DATEV transfer remains beta and production-approval gated.

Why firms switch

  • €49/month firm plan plus VAT; annual commitment -15%, 2-year commitment -30%; clients book their own plan

  • A single interface for 40–80 clients — instead of dozens of email folders

  • Firm cockpit included in the Kanzlei plan, personal invitation link, client overview

  • DATEV master data, account labels and reviewed DebKred_Stamm suggestions per client

  • Supplier-level coding with immutable audit trail instead of manual follow-up work

  • Tax-advisor package ZIP with DATEV CSV, originals, previews, manifest, booking suggestions and README

  • Original storage is available during active membership. After the paid period or free trial ends, customers have one month (30 days) to export their documents and then retain them under their own responsibility.

  • Client health: an explainable health score sorts what needs attention to the top — no AI

  • IBAN watch per supplier: a warning on changed bank details, before payment

  • Prüfungsmappe per invoice: a GoBD-oriented evidence pack with SHA-256 checksum for the audit

Common questions for tax firms

Do client invoice intakes remain separate?
Yes. Every company has its own inbox and DATEV master data; status, exports, original files, and audit trails remain separated by client.
How does the tax firm receive validated documents?
The default route is the tax-adviser ZIP package with DATEV CSV, original files, previews, a manifest, and posting proposals, sent by the client to the firm.
Is direct DATEV transfer generally available already?
No. It remains beta and production-approval gated; DATEV CSV and the tax-adviser package are the available handoff routes.
