What are accounting exports?
Accounting exports are statement files formatted for your accounting software, so you don’t need to worry about choosing the right file type or compatibility. We currently support software including DATEV, Lexware, AFAS, Cegid Loop, Visma eAccounting, and more.
How do I create an accounting export? From statements (web + mobile):
From Statements and reports, go to Statements
Select Create a statement
Choose your currencies and time period
Under file type, choose, Accounting export
Select your accounting software
Fill in any details, if needed
Download the file and upload it into your accounting software
From the app marketplace (web only):
Go to Connect and manage apps
Select your accounting software with the ‘File export’ label underneath
Choose your currencies and time period, then download your statement file
The file format is recommended based on your accounting software, but you can change it at any time if another format works better for you.
Your exported file is also prepared for a smoother import, so it won’t include running balances or internal reference codes that could cause errors.
What if my accounting software isn’t listed?
Many accounting tools support standard banking formats like CAMT.053 and MT940 for importing bank statements. Check your accounting software’s documentation to see which formats it supports. You can also request an app through the App marketplace.
Software-specific requirements
If you’re exporting a file for DATEV, you’ll need to provide these additional details:
Consultant number
Client number
Fiscal start year
Account number length
Contra account number
These details are typically provided by your tax advisor or set up within DATEV. Invite your accountant.
