From accounting frustration to a DATEV solution
It all started with a problem many entrepreneurs know: accounting chaos with Stripe. When building Sepaheld, we quickly started using Stripe for subscription invoices and payment processing.
Above all, Stripe meant one thing for us: brilliant payment processing, great for our customers – but the accounting? A nightmare!
But more than anything, Stripe also meant manually exporting Stripe transactions to DATEV. The same routine every month: gathering data, editing Excel spreadsheets, downloading receipts one by one, and so on. And then the constant follow-up questions from the tax advisor because something didn't add up.
Accounting turned into a full-time job – even though I wanted to focus on my business.
There had to be a better solution! I looked for tools that automate the Stripe export to DATEV. We tried several, but the verdict was usually either unaffordably expensive or too complicated to set up. None of the tools really solved our problem elegantly, simply and affordably. The longer I searched, the clearer it became: we'd have to build it ourselves.
And that's how finHero came about – booking Stripe payments to DATEV simply, quickly and error-free, with automatic receipt linking, passive revenue accrual and maximum transparency.
