Heft Description

Heft is an innovative cloud-based tool currently being developed for freelancers, sole proprietors, and small businesses across Germany to streamline receipt collection. This service is intended to establish read-only connections to users' business bank accounts while simultaneously scanning emails, supplier portals, and uploaded documents to locate receipts associated with various transactions. Its early-access version is undergoing testing with features such as bank connectivity, receipt forwarding via Gmail and Revolut Business, receipt extraction, transaction matching, inquiries about spending, and tracking of subscriptions; access is gradually being rolled out to select user groups. Ongoing developments include functionalities for month-end exports to tax advisors, retrieval from supplier portals, comprehensive bookkeeping via EÜR or annual statements, and VAT pre-return submissions through ELSTER. Additionally, Heft incorporates mechanisms to highlight any missing or questionable receipts, which require user verification, and notably, it does not handle any monetary transactions. Furthermore, a distinct workflow for receipt management is being tailored for businesses in the United States.
