DATEV eG

Overview

DATEV eG is a cooperative software and IT service provider specializing in solutions for tax advisors, auditors, and their clients. In the area of accounting, DATEV offers comprehensive applications for financial accounting, general ledger, accounts receivable and payable, asset accounting, as well as cost accounting and controlling. The solutions are deeply embedded in the German legal framework and support GoBD-compliant accounting, including digital document archiving, advance VAT returns, and e-balance sheets. The product line around "DATEV Rechnungswesen" and "DATEV Mittelstand Faktura mit Rechnungswesen" covers the complete processing of business transactions, from account assignment and posting to open items management, dunning, payment transactions, and extensive business evaluations. By supporting common charts of accounts (e.g., SKR03, SKR04) and integrating deeply into the tax advisor ecosystem, DATEV is a reference standard for financial accounting in the DACH market. In addition to classic on-premises use, DATEV increasingly offers cloud-based and data center solutions that clients and firms can use collaboratively. This allows financial accounting processes to be designed efficiently and documented in an audit-proof manner through document uploads, automated posting suggestions, and digital workflows. For companies with high compliance requirements and close cooperation with tax firms, DATEV is therefore a central provider in the accounting and bookkeeping segment.
