You want to do your own bookkeeping — but DATEV licences are reserved for licensed professionals. TABAK Consulting sets up your DATEV access on behalf of the tax firm, trains your team and supports your ongoing use. Discreet. Professional. With a clear separation between the tax engagement and tool provision.
DATEV is the standard in German tax advisory — and TABAK Consulting has worked with it for decades. Fully digital document processing through DATEV Unternehmen online gives clients access to current figures at any time — no waiting for the next monthly close.
As a certified partner, we know the systems in depth: DATEV Kanzlei-Rechnungswesen, Lohn und Gehalt, EO comfort, DMS and the entire interface landscape. For clients, that means no media breaks, no double entry, no reconciliation losses — and monthly management reports (BWA) that actually enable decisions.
Seamless integration with TABAK Steuerberatung ensures your bookkeeping data flows directly — without any transfer losses — into tax planning, annual financial statements and holding-level reporting.
DATEV isn't one system — it's a world of modules. TABAK knows every relevant component, selects the right ones for your situation and integrates them seamlessly into your workflow.
Client portal for digital document submission, commissioned data processing and real-time communication with the firm.
Core module for financial accounting, fixed-asset accounting and cost accounting — the basis for BWA, P&L and balance sheet.
Complete payroll with social security notifications, DEÜV, wage tax filings and certificates.
Electronic filing of all tax returns via ELSTER — corporation tax, trade tax, VAT, income tax and all notifications.
Audit-proof document management — GoBD-compliant archiving with 10-year retention and instant access.
Reports, cost-centre analyses and business intelligence evaluations for data-driven decisions.
If you only see your numbers once a year, you're flying blind. TABAK delivers monthly management reports (BWA) — by the middle of the following month at the latest.
With DATEV Unternehmen online, document submission is fully digital: your bookkeeping assistant scans or photographs documents — or invoices arrive in the system directly by email. We post, review and produce a complete monthly BWA with liquidity statement.
For you, that means: you can see how your business is doing at any time. No surprises at year-end. No retroactive back payments. No panic in tax season.
For holding structures with multiple companies in particular, the DATEV workflow enables consolidated reporting across all entities — so shareholders see overall performance without any manual consolidation effort.
You upload documents to DATEV Unternehmen online — or we set up automatic email import for digital incoming invoices.
Our bookkeepers code every document correctly — with cost centres, projects and tax classification.
Monthly management report, liquidity status and variance analysis against the prior year.
A seamless transition from the ongoing workflow to the annual financial statements — no data loss, no re-entry.
Payroll errors cost more than time — they create back-payment risks, employee conflicts and tax arrears. DATEV Lohn und Gehalt eliminates these risks.
Complete payroll for all employees (full-time, part-time, mini-job, midi-job) — on time for every pay date.
Electronic submission of wage tax filings to the tax office via ELSTER — on time, error-free.
Complete notifications to health insurers, accident insurance (BG) and pension insurance — registrations, deregistrations, annual notifications.
Employment certificates, social security certificates, parental benefit certificates — available immediately on request.
Audit-proof archiving of all payslips in DATEV DMS — for employees, tax auditors and internal audits.
Accurate settlement and application support for short-time work — including Kug settlement with the Federal Employment Agency.
Clean DATEV annual financial statements aren't just an obligation — they're the foundation for bank meetings, investor enquiries and tax optimisation decisions.
Run your annual accounts on our DATEV system and you benefit from a fully seamless workflow: the annual financial statements flow directly from the ongoing bookkeeping — no data migrations, no re-entry, no reconciliation effort between different systems.
For holding structures, we prepare consolidated financial statements across all entities — with full group simulation for banks and investors.
With TABAK, you benefit from automatic deadline extensions — as the client of a licensed tax advisor.
Manual data transfers between ERP and bookkeeping are error-prone and time-consuming. TABAK sets up the DATEV interface — once, cleanly, permanently stable.
Direct DATEV interface for accounting exports — no CSV files, no manual transfers.
DATEV export from SAP B1 for SMEs — full account mapping and automatic posting transfer.
Automatic import of online-shop transactions into DATEV — including allocation by tax rate and payment method.
Migration of existing accounting data from cloud-based tools — including legacy data transfer.
Automatic bank statement import via HBCI/FinTS — payment transactions posted directly to the books.
Specialist industry solutions (hotels, hospitality, construction) on request — delivered by our in-house IT team.
Bookkeeping is the obligation. DATEV is the tool. But real value only emerges where postings become a basis for decisions . Six levers we use consistently with our clients.
Monthly management reports show you within 5 working dayswhere you stand — not just at year-end. See margins slipping too late and you can no longer react. See it in May and you still have 7 months to course-correct.
Banks lend against balance sheets, not against hopes. DATEV bookkeeping to professional standard strengthens your creditworthiness, reduces rating discounts and noticeably improves your terms — often 0.5–1.5 percentage points on the interest rate.
Without clean documentation, a tax audit often costs clients €30,000+ in back payments. With DATEV standards and GoBD-compliant records, the audit becomes a well-prepared routine. The tax office finds little — and you feel little stress.
Most insolvencies aren't loss insolvencies — they're liquidity insolvencies. DATEV couples your bookkeeping with liquidity forecasting — you see 4–8 weeks aheadwhether you need to close a gap, instead of being caught by surprise.
If you can see a realistic tax result in November, you can still act: bring investments forward, review provisions, actively steer your balance-sheet policy. See it in April and all you can do is limit the damage.
For every company sale, every investment round, every due diligence, a DATEV-compliant, cleanly maintained set of books is the price of entry. Without it, you lose 10–30% of the purchase price in negotiations — through the trust discount alone.
The honest question: When did you last make a decision based on current figures — not figures from last quarter? The difference between good and poor accounting processes isn't the hours — it's the quality of decisionsthey produce.

Yes. TABAK handles the complete DATEV migration from SAGE, Lexware, SAP, Sevdesk, Lexoffice and other systems. Setup, including legacy data transfer and initial configuration, starts from a flat €1,200. A full migration typically takes 2–4 weeks.
The GoBD (Germany's principles for the proper keeping of digital books and records, and for data access) govern how digital documents must be archived and processed. During a tax audit, violations can lead the tax office to estimate your tax base. DATEV Unternehmen online is fully GoBD-compliant — all documents are archived audit-proof, unaltered and without delay.
You get access to a secure online portal. There you upload documents (via app, email forwarding or manually), see postings in real time, grant approvals and have access at any time to BWA reports, balance overviews and archived documents. We see the same data — and post in real time.
Yes. DATEV supports running multiple clients (companies) in parallel — with uniform charts of accounts and consolidated reporting. For holding structures, we prepare monthly consolidated BWAs and annual financial statements covering all entities. Ideal for investors and family offices.
No. DATEV Unternehmen online is designed for non-accountants. All you need is a browser. We set everything up, train you on document submission in 30 minutes and are always available for questions. The technical complexity sits with us — not with you.
