Guide — Accountant Portal

How your tax advisor uses the BauFin accountant portal

The accountant portal gives your tax advisor secure access to all tax-relevant data — invoices, expenses, cash book, trip log and more. Every permission is individually configurable, every access is logged.

1

Dashboard

Your accountant sees at a glance: invoice totals (net/VAT/gross), expenses by category, vehicle depreciation table and loan interest for the year. Everything for a quick overview.

2

Invoices

All issued invoices with year and quarter filters, full-text search and status display. With permission, the accountant can edit status, amounts and notes — with a dedicated accountant note field.

3

Expenses

All business expenses with category filter and search. The accountant can correct expenses (description, amount, VAT rate, category) or create new ones — every change is logged.

4

Cash Book

Cash book with GoBD-oriented functions, running balance, income/expense overview and daily closing status. Closed entries are locked — corrections only via reversal booking.

5

Tax Advance Payments

All income tax and church tax advance payments with due dates and payment status. The accountant can mark open payments as paid — keeping deadlines under control.

6

Tax Notices

All tax notices (income tax, trade tax, VAT) by year. The accountant can enter new notices — type, date, amount. All notices in one place.

7

EÜR Report

Income surplus calculation for each year: income, expenses, profit/loss and all line items. The basis for the tax return.

8

Trip Log

All trips with date, route, km and purpose. Summary: total km, business share in percent. Essential for correct vehicle cost calculation.

9

Document Archive

All archived documents sorted by quarter — separated into income and expenses. Files can be downloaded directly. Retention with GoBD-oriented functions.

10

Subcontractors

All active subcontractors with document status (exemption certificate, A1, BG BAU, liability insurance) and incoming invoices including construction withholding tax calculation.

11

Change History

Complete audit trail for GoBD-oriented traceability: who changed what and when? Invoices, expenses, customer data — every change with old and new value. Helpful during tax audit.

12

DATEV Export
