German founders: is it possible to do bookkeeping by yourself?
2 frabia 1 7/28/2025, 7:22:51 PM
I'm opening a UG as I'm getting more interest in my SaaS (yay!). However, I'm going the bootstrapped way, and it really hurts having to pay a tax advisor 100+ euro/month, mostly just to upload some data to the Finanzamt. I will just make a couple of customer invoices per month, plus I pay for those 2-3 software tools - nothing crazy.
Is having a tax advisor really the only way? I've seen some tools to keep track of invoices etc, but most seem to still need a tax advisor for the last step. Is there any way to learn about this myself? Any tip is appreciated.

If you are creating, producing or whatever as a one-man-show, forget it.
The time you need for bookkeeping or fighting with non-paying customers, you cant be productive.
A tax advisor is needed if you are VAT-taxable.
Forget the ads showing people doing their taxes on their mobile phones.
That is not possible.
