For freelancers it's crucial for their business to have a reliable bookkeeping and tax software. Our goal is to help you make a decision and compare the different tax solutions. Here you can find our comparison between Accountable and WISO Steuer.
Accountable offers the possibility to file all tax returns directly. In addition, as freelancer, you have personal support and everything you need for your bookkeeping directly in one software.
With WISO Steuer you can prepare your tax returns. A special feature is that private individuals can call up their own data directly from the tax office. While WISO Steuer is designed to prepare tax returns, it's not bookkeeping software. You need the additional WISO MeinBüro for this.

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, that's possible! With Accountable, you can summarise your income from both your part-time job and your self-employed work in one tax return. Our tool is also designed to cover more complex tax cases, such as the combination of salaried and self-employed income. You don't have to use WISO or Elster for this.
Simply upload all income 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:
- Manual: Upload the files directly to Accountable.
-By e-mail: Send invoices and receipts to [email protected] (for expenses) and [email protected] (for income)
- About GetMyInvoices: Connect your previous provider and transfer the data directly to Accountable.

Accountable is aimed particularly at self-employed freelancers and small businesses. It offers a comprehensive solution that covers not only tax returns but also ongoing bookkeeping, income and expense management and advance VAT returns. Accountable automates many tax processes, e.g. through the ‘AI Assistant’, its own tax AI, making it particularly user-friendly and easy to understand.
WISO lacks the deep integration with current bookkeeping that Accountable offers. It offers a very detailed guide through the tax return and is not only designed for the self-employed, but also for employees, pensioners, etc.
