Hear it straight from our users
The tax regulations in Germany are pretty complex. Luckily Accountable makes the process of doing taxes worry-free and downright pleasant. What I really like is that they give you a guarantee that using their app will not get you into any trouble. That means they really stand behind their product, and I applaud that.
Extremely helpful as a foreign freelancer in Germany, would be lost without it. Any questions i ever have are also answered quickly and informatively by staff too.
Really nice app that has all that I want as a small business ( freelancer ). Simon on customer service was spot on
It’s intuitive and easy to use and all my administration is in one place. Next to that, the app actually gives you tax saving tips, just with those I’ve saved the more money then the app cost me!
The app looks great, it’s simple to use, and the support with video calls is excellent.

Yes, in Accountable you can also upload receipts retrospectively without any problems. This means you can upload and manage receipts from the years 2022 and 2023 as well as for earlier years. It is not limited to the current quarter or month.
Booking a partner tax advisor of Accountable is an optional additional service. Since you as a user already do a lot of the preparatory work by uploading and sorting receipts, the tax advisor can work more efficiently. However, the prices for tax advisors are individual and depend on various factors, such as your annual turnover and the complexity of your accounting. It is advisable to negotiate prices directly with the tax advisor. A general price range for freelancers with an annual turnover of €100,000 could be between €500 and €2,000, but can vary.
Simply upload all invoices and expenses for the years for which you want to submit your tax returns via Accountable. If you also want to submit tax returns for previous years, you can select the relevant year in the settings under ‘Taxes’. You have several options for uploading your files:

Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to create tax returns for a GbR. Accountable is primarily aimed at solopreneurs and freelancers. For requirements such as those of a GbR, it is recommended to consult a tax advisor. However, Accountable supports you in managing your income and expenses and allows you to export data that you can then use for your tax return.
SevDesk and Accountable are both bookkeeping and tax solutions, but there are some key differences.
SevDesk offers extensive features such as invoicing, accounting, inventory management and a variety of integrations.
Accountable focuses more on the automation of tax processes and the direct preparation of tax returns. Accountable is also particularly designed for those who do not have in-depth tax knowledge due to its ease of use. Accountable offers strong personalised support for tax issues and actively helps with tax return preparation.
SevDesk also offers support, but with a broader focus on general accounting issues.
