Office

Office is a cloud-based accounting platform built for freelancers, sole proprietors, and small businesses. It replaces spreadsheets and paper receipts with a single dashboard where you can send invoices, track payments, record expenses, and prepare for tax season. The software handles e-invoice compliance (including ZUGFeRD and XRechnung formats) so you meet legal requirements without extra work. Office aims to make bookkeeping simple enough that you don't need an accounting degree to stay on top of your finances.

Getting started is straightforward. You create an account, link your business bank account, and start uploading receipts — either by snapping a photo with the mobile app or dragging a PDF into the web interface. Office automatically reads the receipt details (amount, date, vendor) and books them to the right account. Invoices flow the other way: you create an offer or order confirmation, then convert it into an invoice with one click. The tool sends the invoice by email and tracks when it's paid. If a payment is overdue, Office reminds you and can generate a dunning letter. The dashboard gives a real-time snapshot of your cash flow, open items, and upcoming VAT payments.

Office is best suited for solo entrepreneurs, freelancers, and micro-businesses with up to 10 employees who want an affordable, all-in-one solution for billing, expense tracking, and tax prep. It also works well for businesses that collaborate with a tax advisor — the free accountant access lets your Steuerberater view and work on your data directly. You can use Office from any device with a browser, and the mobile app helps you capture receipts on the go. If you need to issue e-invoices, manage recurring billing, or just want to stop drowning in paper, Office does the heavy lifting so you can focus on your actual work.
