Haben

For German freelancers, tradespeople, and small companies that want bookkeeping without a subscription, Haben runs the full path from receipt to tax office on your own server. Invoices carry live previews, item catalogs, and reusable text blocks, and every invoice can be finalized as a ZUGFeRD or XRechnung e-invoice carrying the required German invoice details. Receipts arrive by drag and drop, phone camera, or email, and optional AI extraction reads amounts and dates before you categorize and post them. Bank reconciliation imports statements through PSD2 connections or CAMT.053 files from banks and payment services, then proposes matches with reasons you can accept or correct. Underneath sits double-entry bookkeeping on SKR03 or SKR04 charts, with a journal, account sheets, and DATEV exports your tax adviser already understands. VAT advance returns draw their figures straight from postings and travel to ELSTER directly through ERiC or through Mein ELSTER, and annual filings cover VAT returns, Anlage EÜR, and income tax. Quotes convert to invoices in one action, dunning follows open items, and filing deadlines arrive as calendar feeds and email reminders. Reports show EÜR results, open items, and monthly trends, and the year-end archive exports as a checksummed ZIP. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Benefits

  • From receipt to ELSTER filing
  • One workflow carries a receipt through categorization, posting, VAT advance return, and ELSTER submission, so the figures the tax office sees always trace back to the original document.
  • E-invoices that meet German law
  • Invoices finalize as ZUGFeRD or XRechnung documents with the mandatory German invoice details, live previews, item catalogs, and GoBD-compliant locking that prevents silent edits afterwards.
  • Bank matches proposed with reasons
  • Statements arrive through PSD2 connections or CAMT.053 imports from banks, PayPal, and Stripe, and Haben suggests which invoice or expense each payment settles, with its reasoning shown.
  • Your adviser gets DATEV exports
  • Double-entry bookkeeping on SKR03 or SKR04 produces journals, account sheets, and DATEV posting stacks, plus a read-only adviser login for reports and the year-end archive.

Features

  • Invoices and e-invoicing
  • The invoice editor combines live preview, item catalogs, text blocks, recurring and installment invoices, and finalizes documents as ZUGFeRD or XRechnung files for email delivery.
  • Receipt capture and extraction
  • Receipts upload by drag and drop, phone camera, or email inbox; incoming e-invoices are read directly and other documents can be extracted by an AI model you choose.
  • Bank reconciliation
  • PSD2 account connections and CAMT.053, PayPal, and Stripe imports feed a matching workflow that proposes settlements for invoices, expenses, tax payments, and loans.
  • Tax filings via ELSTER
  • VAT advance returns and annual VAT, EÜR, and income tax filings are computed from postings and submitted through ERiC directly or through Mein ELSTER with XML import.
  • Reports and year-end archive
  • Evaluations cover EÜR, open items, and monthly trends with CSV export, and the annual archive downloads as a ZIP with SHA-256 checksums for GoBD retention duties.
  • Migration and integrations
  • Guided imports move invoices, receipts, and contacts from Lexware Office and sevDesk, a REST API with per-token rights creates drafts, and an MCP assistant answers bookkeeping questions read-only.
