Fibalo

Description

From the marketplace listing

Fibalo is bookkeeping and invoicing software for freelancers, sole traders, small businesses and limited companies (GmbH, UG) in Germany, built around the monthly handover to the tax advisor. It covers German accounting only: DATEV, the SKR03 and SKR04 charts of accounts, German VAT including reverse charge and the small-business scheme, and e-invoices in the ZUGFeRD and XRechnung formats. Receipts and supplier invoices arrive by e-mail, upload or phone photo, are recognised, assigned to accounts, matched against bank and PayPal transactions, and leave as a DATEV export. With this app, that work happens in the conversation. Invoicing: write an invoice to a customer with line items, quantities, units, VAT rates, service period, due date and texts, review the totals Fibalo computed, and issue it. Issuing assigns the next invoice number and produces an EN 16931 e-invoice (E-Rechnung) as a ZUGFeRD PDF, plus XRechnung XML when a Leitweg-ID is given for public-sector buyers. The PDF comes back as a download link and can be e-mailed to the customer. New customers and suppliers are added with their address and VAT ID. DATEV export: preview the bookings of a period (account, contra account, tax key, amount), see what blocks an entry and which documents are still unreviewed, run the export and get download links to the DATEV files for the tax advisor, check the DATEV connection, and push a document into DATEV Unternehmen online. Reports: the BWA management report for any range of months, the BWA year overview month by month by cost type, the advance VAT return (UStVA) for a month or a quarter with the amount payable and an ELSTER readiness check, each as figures or as a PDF download link, spending by supplier, month, status or document type, and money in and out by counterparty, month, direction or bank account. Beyond that: list companies and read one in full, search documents by period, status, source, supplier, invoice number or amount and open one with everything recognised on it, find bank payments that still have no receipt for the month-end close, add a document from a file or a public link, and, as an owner, manage who has access, for example invite the tax advisor. The app files nothing with the tax office or ELSTER, does not change account assignments and gives no tax advice. Issuing an invoice and running an export are final, so both require an explicit confirmation. Totals always state how many documents carry no amount or no invoice date, so a number is never quoted blind. Every call runs as the signed-in person with their own Fibalo permissions: the app holds no credential of its own, and a refusal always comes from Fibalo.
