Bookkeeping for freelancers in Germany

• For freelancers and service providers

  Whether you are a developer, designer, consultant or translator: Kontelio is made for the self-employed who sell services and want to stay on top of their own bookkeeping.

• Invoices in minutes

  Sequential numbers, every mandatory detail, payment terms and VAT – or the note on the Kleinunternehmer rule.

  • As a PDF or e-invoice
  • Keep track of open amounts
  • Credit notes and cancellation invoices

• Expenses and receipts

  Laptop, software subscription, coworking or train ticket: upload or snap the receipt, choose a category, done.

  • Private shares kept separate
  • Receipts archived securely for ten years

• EÜR and VAT

  Your bookings become your EÜR and advance VAT return – and go straight to ELSTER.

• In your language, on the go too

  Nine languages, always with the official German terms. Kontelio runs in the browser, on your smartphone too – handy for capturing receipts right after a purchase.

• Several businesses

  You write code and teach courses on the side? Kontelio keeps the businesses apart and still combines your VAT correctly.
