Built for German freelancers, sole proprietors, and small businesses

Check your German invoice in seconds.

Automatically identify potential problems with required fields, VAT, and e-invoicing – before they become expensive.

How it works

Upload your invoice

PDF, ZUGFeRD, XRechnung, or a photo of your invoice.

Automated review

Mandatory fields, VAT treatment, and e-invoice format are checked against deterministic rules.

A clear report

A compliance score, the issues found, and concrete next steps.

Why now?

The e-invoicing mandate isn't a future concern anymore — it's already rolling out.

Since 1 January 2025

Every business must be able to receive e-invoices — already in effect today, for everyone.

From 1 January 2027

Businesses with over €800,000 in prior-year turnover must issue e-invoices. The mandate is real and already rolling out.

From 1 January 2028

The obligation to issue e-invoices then applies to nearly all B2B businesses. Kleinunternehmer under §19 UStG are permanently exempt from that — but still must be able to receive them.

Even though you won't be required to issue e-invoices yourself: your business partners increasingly will be, and your own invoices still need to be right regardless. Find out where you stand in seconds — free.
