Accountable

Overview

Accountable is a tax and bookkeeping platform for self-employed people, freelancers, and small businesses in Germany. It combines invoicing, expense tracking, bank account connections, and tax filing in one app, with additional web access on paid plans.

The site positions the product as a way to handle routine tax work without a traditional accountant. Users can create invoices, scan receipts, submit tax returns, and get support from AI tax advice or tax coaches, depending on the plan.

Core features

Invoicing and e-invoicing

Create and send invoices from the mobile app, and on higher plans from both mobile and web. The site also supports personalized invoice templates, foreign-currency invoices, recurring invoices, and instalment invoices.

Expense capture and bookkeeping

Scan receipts, capture expenses, and book up to unlimited expenses depending on plan. The product says it uses OCR-style receipt recognition and can help users track deductible costs.

Bank account syncing and business banking

Connect bank accounts so transactions can flow into accounting, with more connected accounts available on higher plans. The home page also describes a separate business account and tax savings account.

Tax filing workflow

Prepare and submit tax returns from within the app, including income tax, VAT, trade tax, and year-end closing tasks on higher plans. The site also references quarterly VAT filings and tax return workflows for Kleinunternehmer.

Guidance and support

Get help through AI tax advice, webinars, and tax coaches. Higher plans add chat support by tax coaches and more direct access to a personal tax coach.

Tax guarantee

Use the tax guarantee on eligible filing plans, with coverage amounts increasing on higher tiers. The site says errors caused by Accountable can trigger reimbursement within the stated guarantee terms.

Common use cases

  • Freelance invoicing

    A freelancer can issue invoices from a phone, then upgrade to web access and more automation as their billing volume grows.

  • Bookkeeping during the year

    A self-employed business owner can scan receipts, sync bank transactions, and keep deductible expenses organized before year-end filing.

  • Small-business tax filing

    A Kleinunternehmer can use the app to track limits, file income tax, EÜR, trade tax, and yearly VAT tasks from one place.

  • Tax questions and support

    A user who wants guidance can rely on AI tax advice first and then contact tax coaches when a question needs a human review.

  • Business banking and tax reserves

    A business owner who wants to separate finances can open or use the business account and manage tax reserves alongside accounting.
