All 28 features in detail
  • DashboardDashboard

    What needs doing today and the figures behind it, cut to your package: invoices, supplier invoices awaiting approval, hours and projects, or the books. Plus a guided first-run checklist.

  • SalesE-Invoice

    E-invoices to the German standard: generate, convert, read and validate ZUGFeRD and XRechnung against EN 16931.

  • SalesCustomers

    Buyer master data including VAT ID, flowing straight into the e-invoice as BT-48.

  • PurchasingIncoming invoices

    Receive, check and approve your suppliers’ invoices — a photograph, a PDF or an XRechnung, all in the same inbox. Being able to receive them has been obligatory since 2025; issuing them only from 2027.

  • PurchasingSuppliers

    Your creditors with their account mapping and every bank account they have ever invoiced from — what makes the changed-IBAN warning possible.

  • AccountingAccounting settings

    Profit determination (balance sheet or EÜR), the VAT scheme (Soll- or Istversteuerung under § 20 UStG), the fiscal year and the chart of accounts. Set once, and every posting and report follows them.

  • AccountingChart of accounts

    The complete DATEV SKR03 and SKR04 chart of accounts. The revenue account you pick decides both the VAT rate and the EN 16931 category.

  • AccountingBookkeeping

    Every document becomes a double-entry booking. The VAT return, the open items list and a DATEV posting batch all fall out of the journal.

  • AccountingELSTER

    The advance VAT return and the income surplus calculation (Anlage EÜR with its asset register AVEÜR) from your bookings: calculated, checked twice and validated with ELSTER's own library, with the protocol and a complete history.

  • AccountingOpen Items

    Receivables and payables in one working list: filter the way accountants expect, spread one bank transfer across several invoices, offset credits, write off cent differences with the correct VAT adjustment.

  • AccountingPayments

    The payment proposal knows the last day a cash discount can still be taken; a selection becomes a payment run with separate approval and a SEPA file (pain.001) for your bank.

  • AccountingBanking

    Import CAMT.053, MT940 or CSV from your bank; a matching transaction marks the invoice paid and settles the booking behind it.

  • AccountingAssets

    Capitalise what you buy and let it depreciate itself. Straight line or declining, GWG and Sammelposten included, with the asset movement schedule your adviser asks for at year end.

  • AccountingCash book

    Cash recorded the way cash behaves: written forward, never edited, and never below zero. With cash counts and the cash report, and with bookkeeping one-click posting into the journal.

  • ReportsReports

    Business analysis (DATEV form 01), P&L/cash-basis, trial balance with account ledger, VAT return with box numbers, revenue, payment behaviour, order backlog, cash flow, cash discount and per-partner account statements — as CSV, PDF or print view.

  • DocumentsDocuments by email

    Your own address for supplier invoices. Hand it out, or forward your existing mailbox to it — what arrives is read, checked and approved like a document you uploaded. With a sender list, format and size limits, and a log that names the refused messages too, so no supplier is left sending into nothing.

  • AdministrationCompanies

    Full legal profile: register data, tax numbers, banking, branding and § 19 UStG small-business mode.

  • AdministrationUser Management

    Invitations, access levels, per-user permission overrides and ownership transfer.

  • AdministrationTax advisor

    Who, besides your own people, may reach your data. A practice asks, you decide, and you can withdraw the access at any time — your own users are untouched.

  • AdministrationImport data

    Switch without retyping: customers, suppliers, the catalogue and your open items from a CSV file, as sevdesk, Lexware Office, Papierkram and Excel export them. Semicolons, umlauts and German numbers are recognised and the columns map themselves — with a dry run first and all-or-nothing on the way in.

  • AdministrationTwo-factor requirement

    Whether a second factor stays voluntary, is required of everyone, or only of the access levels that can move money. Setting one up stays on each person’s own profile, and that page stays reachable so nobody is locked away from the requirement they have to meet.

  • AdministrationBilling

    Plan and single-module subscriptions paid by card — the payment itself switches the module on.

  • AdministrationTWT invoices

    Every invoice from TWT in one place, across all modules, with the payment status per module and each invoice as a PDF.

  • AdministrationCancellation

    Contract, end of term and cancellation in one place. Paid time stays usable to the end of the period, and the cancellation can be withdrawn until then.

  • AdministrationAudit Logs

    21 action types across 21 entity types, filterable and CSV-exportable, surviving deletion.

  • AdministrationGoBD export

    The tax-audit data handover: journal, booking lines, master data, documents, payments, assets and the hash-chained audit log in one ZIP with an index.xml that IDEA-style audit software imports directly.

  • AdministrationSupport

    Help from inside the product: ask a question, attach a screenshot, read the answer in the same thread. Each person sees only their own requests.

  • AdministrationNotifications

    Where the product writes to: e-mail, Telegram or WhatsApp — one set for the company, and one of their own for each person. With a test message, so a wrong number is caught at once instead of staying silent.

Assets with their depreciation plan.

  • Linear depreciation by the official tables
  • A disposal with its booking

    Material purchases, customer payments and the cash box, all in one journal.

Requirements

Keep the rules for your books in view.

TWT Accounting supports you with the requirements for bookkeeping in Germany.

Unchangeable once booked

A booked entry is locked, as the GoBD require. A correction is a reversal that refers to the original, never a deletion.

Advance VAT return

The figures of the official form, computed from your booked documents per month or quarter and checked with ELSTER's own library.

E-invoice receipt

Since 2025 every business in Germany must be able to receive e-invoices. XRechnung and ZUGFeRD arrive in your inbox, checked against EN 16931.

Tax audit

The GoBD export gives the tax auditor your books in the tax authority's own format, with its index.

TWT Accounting provides functions for proper bookkeeping. The tax obligations of your business remain yours; when in doubt, ask your tax adviser.

Payment and books The bank statement closes the invoice

Import what your online banking exports — CAMT.053, MT940 or a German CSV. A transaction whose amount and invoice number agree is matched automatically; confirming it marks the invoice paid and settles the booking behind it, which clears it from the open items.

  • No bank connection and no aggregator — you upload the file
  • Reference matching ignores separators: RE 2026-0006 and 20260006 both hit
  • Debits reconcile supplier payments the same way
The bank statement in the portal: twelve movements of August and September 2026, ten matched to their document and confirmed, two left to decide.
  • Matched automatically10 of 12 movements, confirmed
  • Left to decideTax office €1,284.00 · insurance €312.40

Reports Figures your tax adviser recognises at first glance

Ten reports on two bases — booked entries and issued invoices. Every header states what the numbers rest on, and every export carries it along.

  • Business analysis following DATEV form 01, with % column and previous-year comparison
  • From the trial balance straight into the account ledger of every posting
  • VAT return with the official form's box numbers — monthly or quarterly
The revenue report: €30,491.40 net from ten invoices in 2026, by month.
  • Revenue 2026€30,491.40 net · 10 invoices
  • On issued invoicesEvery report names its basis

Incoming invoices The obligation that already applies

Being able to receive e-invoices has been obligatory for every German business since January 2025 — issuing them only from 2027. It is also the side the market handles worst. Here every arriving invoice is read, checked and approved before anybody pays it.

  • A photograph, a PDF and an XRechnung all reach the same inbox
  • Checked against the official rule set, with a readable result
  • A warning when a supplier suddenly names a different IBAN
Incoming invoices: eight supplier e-invoices with number, date, due date, amount and status, one of them flagged by the intake.
  • New bank accountHV-2026-1240 · Heiztechnik Vertrieb Nordhessen
  • Valid e-invoices8 of 8 · EN 16931

Access Control A real ACL, not role labels

More than 130 permission keys, organised as a module → component → action tree. Every member starts with the rights of their role; on top of it you grant or withhold single rights for exactly that person, and a withheld right always wins.

  • One key gates the API, the menu and the route
  • Modules you cannot reach never ship their JavaScript
  • Changes apply on the user's very next navigation

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which charts of accounts does TWT Accounting use?

SKR03 and SKR04, the two standard charts in Germany. You choose one per company when you set it up.

How does my bank statement get in?

Export the statement from your online banking as CAMT.053, MT940 or CSV and upload it. A movement whose amount and invoice number fit is matched to the invoice; you confirm it, and the invoice is settled.

Can my tax adviser work with the data?

Yes. The DATEV export hands over every posting batch with the master data, and the reports follow the forms your tax adviser knows, such as the BWA.

Can I prepare the advance VAT return?

Yes. TWT Accounting computes it from your booked documents with the figures of the official form, per month or per quarter, and checks it with ELSTER's own library.

Can I receive e-invoices?

Yes. XRechnung and ZUGFeRD arrive in the incoming invoices, are checked against EN 16931 and go through approval before they are booked.

What happens to an entry once it is booked?

It is locked and can no longer be changed. To correct it, you create a reversal that refers to the original entry.

Does TWT Accounting cover fixed assets?

Yes. An asset is capitalised with its acquisition and gets a depreciation plan under § 7 EStG. The asset register lists them all.

Can I test TWT Accounting before I pay?

Yes. You test it for 30 days: cancel within them and you pay nothing. If you continue, the trial month is charged together with the first month; after that you pay the monthly price, with no setup fee, and you can cancel monthly.

Ready for TWT Accounting?

30 days to test: cancel within them and you pay nothing. Then cancel monthly, with no setup fee. Your data stays on our own servers in Germany.
