Pros
Ease of use, comprehensive guides, excellent video tutorials, proposals as you enter data, learning. Ability to store receipts & data for 10 years and going paperless.
If you have very basic knowledege you are good to go. It is fantastic to do your clients invoice, payments, create offers and see everything what is going on in your business.
I tried other apps for my accounting but lexoffice is the most comprehensive and at an excellent value.
Cons
The support suggested that I should simply use another booking account. However, a completely wrong one, which would have led to a wrong accounting.
This means that the software is lost for all those who want to book "correctly" at some point. Very quickly I came to a point during testing, where I was missing a certain account to book.
Bugs kept on coming up, with formating being forgotten or vanishing.

The best accounting software in the German market

Reviewed 2 years ago

It's saving me headaches everyday. Before I had this software accounting was a nightmare for me and my little agency.

Pros

Easy to use has a lot of other applications connected to the software.

Cons

some more customization of the invoicing would be nice and a better integration to Bitrix24

Mein Buchhaltungsprogramm als Selbstständiger

Reviewed a year ago

Ich habe mich für lexoffice als Buchhaltungsprogramm entschieden, und es nicht bereut. Die Rechnungserstellung (im personalisierten Format) ist absolut schnell, schick und unkompliziert. Es ist nicht viel Einarbeitungszeit nötig. Durch das automatische Kontenmanagement und das Anbinden von Geschäftskonten (z.B. Kontist) habe ich jederzeit meine Finanzen im Blick. Die Umsatzsteuervoranmeldung ist wirklich unglaublich einfach.Die App ist super, damit kann ich direkt über mein Smartphone neue Belege hochladen und verbuchen.Dadurch habe ich nicht mehr mit Zettelwirtschaft und herumfliegenden Belegen zu kämpfen. Mit wenig Aufwand sind alle Rechnungen, Belege und Finanzabrechnungen ständig aktuell.

Pros

Lexoffice ist aufgeräumt, übersichtlich und dennoch sehr umfangreich und mächtig.Durch automatische Belegerkennung und Belegupload (per App) kann ich meine Belege mit nur wenigen Klicks verbuchen.Die Kontosynchronisierung und die übersichtliche Beleg- und Finanzverwaltung helfen mir dabei, immer den Blick über meine Geschäftsvorgänge und Finanzen zu haben.

Cons

Leider gibt es keine Schnittstelle zu Wiso Mein Geld. Die jährliche Umsatzsteuererklärung und die EÜR muss ich daher leider händisch übertragen. Schade.

Great if you are going for a running start, lacking in details

Reviewed 5 years ago

Quick to setup, easy to use, gets the job done, perfect for a start from the run.

Pros

I was able to create an account and write my first invoice in about half an hour. Simple yet useful templates and intuitive user interface supported me in doing so. Also, the trial was free and I was able to just start earning money without having to grind through reviews or do a comparison marathon between different solutions. I also could put my logo on my invoice and make it look very close to my business paper.

Cons

At the same time it was lear for me from the beginning, that it would probably not a longterm solution as the ways to customize the look and feel of the invoices was not convincing. Bugs kept on coming up, with formating being forgotten or vanishing. Also the integration with Zapier was fairly basic making it impossible to create one-click offers from my sales pipline or automatically close won oportunities / deals form the salespipline in case an Invoice is created. Lexoffice has a lot of room to grow in this segment.

Sehr gut für kleine Gewerbetreibende mit wenig komplexen Buchungen

Reviewed 2 years ago

All in all, Lexware is a very easy-to-use software that even non-professionals should be able to handle. Those who want to do real accounting at some point will then have to switch.

Pros

Die im allgemeinen sehr umfassende Ausstattung. Nahezu jeder Bereich ist abgedeckt.

Cons

The restriction to a small part of the DATEV system of accounts. According to the provider, this is intentional. This means that the software is lost for all those who want to book "correctly" at some point. Very quickly I came to a point during testing, where I was missing a certain account to book. The support suggested that I should simply use another booking account. However, a completely wrong one, which would have led to a wrong accounting. At that point Lexware was out of the race for me.
