Invoices and receipts, taken care of too
No separate invoicing software anymore. Quotes, e-invoices, receipts and the export for your tax advisor all run in Kovo, next to mail, projects and time tracking.
E-invoicing is coming for everyone
Soon, a PDF invoice by email won’t be enough between companies in Germany. Kovo can already send and read e-invoices today, without you having to deal with the technical details.
- Since 2025
All companies in Germany must be able to receive e-invoices from other companies.
- From 2027
Companies with more than €800,000 in revenue in the previous year must send e-invoices.
- From 2028
All companies must send e-invoices to other companies.
From quote to tax advisor
In the Office plan. Customers and contacts are in every plan. You decide through roles who sees the finances.
Quotes and invoices
One click turns a quote into an invoice. Numbers run without gaps, and once an invoice has a number it’s locked, as German bookkeeping rules (GoBD) require. Corrections are made by cancelling the invoice.
Send and read e-invoices
Kovo creates ZUGFeRD for business customers and XRechnung for public authorities. Kovo reads incoming e-invoices, including PDFs with embedded data, and fills in the receipt for you.
Bill project hours
One click puts a project’s tracked hours on the invoice. Each entry can only be billed once.
Payments and payment reminders
Keep an eye on open invoices, send reminders and payment reminders right from Kovo.
Receipts from everyone
Employees hand in receipts with a photo in the app or straight from an email, even without access to Finance. Whoever does the books checks and records them.
Match bank statements
Upload your bank statement as CAMT, MT940 or CSV. Kovo spots duplicate entries and suggests which payment belongs to which invoice or receipt.
Advance VAT return
Kovo calculates your advance VAT return. You enter the figures in Mein ELSTER (the German tax portal); sending it straight from Kovo is on the way.
DATEV for your tax advisor
Bookings, customers and suppliers as a DATEV export, with SKR03 or SKR04. Plus a full export of your financial data.
Tax advisor as a guest
Your tax advisor joins as a guest for free and can read your finances without changing anything.
What Kovo doesn’t do
- Your tax advisor still prepares the balance sheet and annual accounts; Kovo provides the data.
- Kovo doesn’t fetch bank statements from your bank automatically yet; you upload them as a file.
- The advance VAT return can’t be sent from Kovo to ELSTER directly yet.
You’ll find all prices on the pricing page.
