BauFin

For Tax AdvisorsLess chaos. Better data.

Your construction industry clients finally deliver complete, structured data — without you having to chase them.

DATEV export at the push of a button

BauFin exports all your clients’ accounting data in DATEV format. Invoices, expenses, vehicle costs, subcontractor invoices — all correctly posted according to SKR 03.

No manual data entry, no missing receipts, no end-of-month questions. Your client presses a button — you get everything.

  • SKR 03 posting

    All entries are automatically assigned to the correct accounts — revenue, materials, external services, vehicle costs.

  • Income statement generator

    Complete EÜR at the click of a button. Your clients deliver a finished income statement, not a shoebox full of receipts.

  • Digital receipt archive

    Every receipt is scanned with date, amount and category — stored with GoBD-oriented archive functions.

Your own accountant portal

As a tax advisor or accountant, you get your own access to your client’s BauFin system — with exactly the permissions you need.

No shared password, no USB stick with Excel files. You log in and see everything: invoices, expenses, cash book, income statement, subcontractors, tax prepayments.

  • Granular permissions

    Your client decides what you can see: just invoices, or also the cash book, subcontractors and tax history.

  • Notes & communication

    You can leave notes on invoices directly in the system — your client sees them immediately.

  • Audit trail

    Every change is logged. You see the complete history of every posting — perfect for tax audits.

GoBD-oriented from day one

BauFin is built for GoBD-oriented workflows: continuous numbering, cancellation instead of deletion, complete change history and locked financial data after sending.

For you that means: lower organizational risk, less rework and cleaner records for review.

  • Immutability

    Sent invoices cannot be edited — only cancelled. This supports a traceable correction process.

  • Audit preparation

    Process documentation, data export, continuous document numbers. Records are structured for review.

  • Cash book with GoBD functions

    Daily recording of cash transactions with automatic balance checks. Corrections stay traceable.

The construction industry is different

Your construction clients have requirements that standard accounting software doesn’t know. BauFin covers everything:

  • Reverse Charge §13b UStG

    Automatic recognition and correct posting of construction services with reverse charge VAT.

  • Construction withholding tax §48b EStG

    Automatic calculation of 15% withholding tax, exemption certificate management, declarations.

  • Material/labour split §35a EStG

    Every invoice automatically separates material and labour costs — mandatory for private client services.

  • Subcontractor management

    Exemption certificates with expiry dates, incoming invoices, dedicated subcontractor portal.

  • BRTV working hours

    38 hours in winter, 41 in summer. BauFin knows the construction industry’s collective agreements.
