Time-consuming exports

Manually created journal entries lead to discrepancies and rework during reconciliation.
Complex chart of accounts
SKR03/04, accounts receivable, posting keys – hard to keep consistent without automation.
Lack of transparency
Unclear booking texts & missing transaction IDs make traceability harder.

FAQ
Short FAQ
How are receipts linked in DATEV?
Invoices, credit notes and cancellations are provided as PDFs and automatically linked to the corresponding journal entries.
What does the pRAP automation cover?
Subscription revenue is deferred period-accurately – the deferred revenue (pRAP) is calculated and posted automatically.
Does finHero replace my tax firm?
No. finHero gives your tax firm clean, import-ready data in DATEV format. Tax advice and the Festschreibung (finalization of entries) stay with your tax firm – only the manual data preparation goes away.
How do we make sure the export is complete?
Every export is reconciled against the Stripe balance report. Payments, fees, refunds and payouts have to add up – discrepancies show up before the data reaches your tax firm.
Does this also work for multiple companies?
Yes. finHero is built for multiple clients and growing transaction volumes – each company with its own chart of accounts and its own booking rules.
Can we catch up on past months?
Yes. Retroactive exports are possible – useful when accounting needs to be caught up or you switch mid-year.
