Accountable
Summary
Accountable is a tax and accounting app designed specifically for freelancers and the self-employed in Germany. If you’re navigating the German tax system as a Freiberufler or Gewerbetreibender, Accountable takes the complexity out of quarterly VAT returns, income tax declarations, and business expense tracking.
The platform connects directly to your bank account, automatically categorising transactions and flagging tax-relevant expenses. It generates pre-filled tax returns that you can submit directly to the Finanzamt (tax office) through Accountable’s ELSTER integration, saving you hours of form-filling and potential errors.
Accountable also provides a real-time tax estimate so you always know how much to set aside — a crucial feature for freelancers who don’t have an employer handling their taxes. Support is available in English and German, making it one of the most accessible tax tools for international freelancers in Germany.
Whether you’re a developer, designer, consultant, or creative professional working independently in Germany, Accountable simplifies the administrative burden so you can focus on your actual work. Plans start from free, with premium tiers offering additional features for VAT-registered businesses.
