E-invoicing for tax advisors

Q: What does e-invoicing change for tax advisors?

Client invoices arrive as structured data, no longer as a pile of PDFs or paper. That cuts manual pre-entry and makes the data directly usable. The professional judgement and the close stay with the advisor.

Q: Does Vera support the DATEV export?

Yes. Vera exports in the DATEV EXTF v13 format, with the SKR03 or SKR04 chart of accounts, configurable per client in the profile. The export requires complete master data and the DATEV advisor and client numbers.

Q: Does Vera replace the practice's work?

No. Vera eases the data intake but does not replace the professional work. Vera does not post a final entry and does not submit anything to an authority. The advisor finalises and keeps authority.

Q: Which charts of accounts are supported?

SKR03 and SKR04, set per client in the profile. There are no demo defaults in the export path, the chart of accounts is chosen deliberately.

For practices, e-invoicing is above all an opportunity at the data-intake stage. When clients produce structured invoices, the data arrives pre-sorted instead of as a loose pile of receipts in January. Vera supports this with a DATEV EXTF v13 export. The professional judgement and the close stay with you.

TL;DR

Structured client data instead of a pile of receipts cuts manual pre-entry. Vera exports DATEV EXTF v13 in SKR03 or SKR04, configurable per client. Vera does not post a final entry and does not submit anything to an authority, the professional authority stays with the practice. Vera eases, it does not replace.

What changes

Until now client invoices often landed in the practice as PDF or paper and had to be entered manually. With e-invoicing the fields are structured, amount, tax rate, service, date. That cuts the unpopular pre-entry and reduces transcription errors. The more clients deliver structured data, the easier the intake gets.

DATEV export and chart of accounts

Vera exports in the DATEV EXTF v13 format, which you import into your usual environment. The chart of accounts is selectable, SKR03 or SKR04, set in the client profile. The export requires complete master data and the DATEV advisor and client numbers.

Note: Vera does not replace practice software or professional judgement. Vera does not post a final entry and does not submit anything to an authority. The export delivers usable data that you finalise in the practice.

Where your authority stays

The accounting logic prepares, you decide. Suggestions are suggestions, not final entries. So the professional responsibility stays where it belongs, in the practice. Vera is the data bridge, not a replacement for your work.
