User-friendliness & simple operation
Range of functions for accounting & payroll (invoices, advance VAT returns, surplus revenue statements, P&L, payroll accounting)
Target group & suitability (sole proprietors, freelancers, small businesses vs. GmbH)
Value for money & subscription model
Customers rate Lexware and Lexware Office predominantly positively, with an average of around 4.3 out of 5 stars across thousands of reviews, highlighting in particular the simple, intuitive operation and the range of functions suitable for small businesses. Strengths lie in user-friendliness, fully covered standard accounting including invoicing, advance VAT returns, surplus revenue statements/P&L, and payroll, as well as cloud-based, GDPR-compliant use with various plans that can be canceled monthly. Critical points mainly concern detailed functions (e.g., missing or limited accounts for more complex GmbH accounting, occasional issues in modules like fixed assets) and mixed impressions regarding value for money and support. Consequently, Lexware Office is particularly well-suited for the self-employed, freelancers, sole proprietors, and small to medium-sized enterprises with fairly standardized requirements, while larger GmbHs with more complex structures frequently reach its limits.
