E-invoicing · ZUGFeRD · XRechnung · DATEV
Invoices your tax adviser and business clients can process directly. I build an invoicing tool around the way you work: ZUGFeRD or XRechnung, DATEV export, and no subscription for features you never use.

What changes
All businesses must be able to receive and archive e-invoices, including small businesses (Kleinunternehmer).
Businesses with more than €800,000 turnover in the previous year must issue e-invoices to business clients in Germany.
The obligation to issue e-invoices applies to all other businesses.
A plain PDF is not an e-invoice. Invoices to private customers are not affected, small businesses only need to receive, and amounts up to €250 gross are exempt. Your tax adviser confirms what applies to you; I make sure the technology fits.
What I build
ZUGFeRD or XRechnung, with your letterhead, your services and your clients. You enter addresses and line items only once.
Invoices as a DATEV export, instead of retyping receipts or collecting paper.
Made readable, filed and archived so you can find them again later.
A tool you own, not a platform you rent. feinedesign writes its own invoices as ZUGFeRD e-invoices with a tool built in-house, so I use what I offer every day.
How it works
You show me how you invoice today and what your tax adviser needs. Free and with no obligation, about 30 minutes: by video or in person within 20 km of Bad Vilbel. For longer distances we agree on travel beforehand.
Once I know how you work, I describe what the tool will do and quote for exactly that scope.
To try out with your real services and clients. Whatever doesn't fit, we change.
A test invoice and a test export before it goes live.
You work with it, and I stay your contact when rules or your business change.
FAQ
No. An e-invoice contains structured data that software can read directly. ZUGFeRD looks like a PDF but carries that data inside it as well.
To business clients in Germany from 2027 if your turnover in the previous year was above €800,000, otherwise from 2028. You already have to be able to receive them.
ZUGFeRD for most small businesses, because people can read it as a PDF and software can read the data. XRechnung is mainly needed for public-sector contracts.
If standard software suits you, I'll tell you in the first conversation. A tool of your own pays off when your workflow is unusual, for example with several companies, several languages or your own service catalogues.
