  • Recorded in no time

    Amount, date, supplier and category – that is usually all it takes. You attach the receipt directly.

  • The right category

    Every expense lands on the right SKR03 account with the right tax rate. The input VAT (Vorsteuer) flows into the advance VAT return.

  • Private shares and special cases

    Private-use shares, partly deductible costs such as business meals, and trips with your private car are handled separately.

  • Recurring payments

    You mark rent or insurance as recurring so they count in the right year.

  • Larger purchases

    For a laptop, car or machine, Kontelio suggests the depreciation (AfA) on the Business and Pro plans.
