Common reasons to switch

What if your tax advisor quits?

Our own tax firm takes over, even during the year, including the termination letter and DATEV data transfer. It is one of three reasons tech founders switch to boring.

“My tax advisor has quit.”

Late VAT returns, no replies, annual accounts still outstanding. With boring, a firm that plans for your growth takes over.

“We have no one in finance, and we do not want to hire.”

Connect your bank and Stripe, forward receipts and approve once a month. AI and bookkeepers handle the rest.

“A holding, a GmbH, our first employee: all at once.”

One login for every company, payroll from your first employee, and your next GmbH set up in a day.

No call, no card. Start with your real data.

FAQ

What software founders ask before switching

The most common questions from our conversations with software, SaaS and AI companies.

Can I switch during the year?

Yes. We help write the termination letter, collect your data from the previous advisor via DATEV export, and start with the next full month. For quarterly VAT returns, your previous advisor files the final return; for monthly returns, we start straight away.

Holding and GmbH in one account?

Yes. Each company has separate books, and you have one login. The holding costs €500 per year if it has no operating business and no more than 50 entries per year.

What does AI do, and what do people do?

AI reads receipts, matches them to transactions and suggests entries. On the bookkeeping and tax firm plans, tax professionals confirm every entry before export; without a tax firm, you approve them yourself. Reserved professional work, such as annual accounts, is handled by the tax firm.

Payroll from the first employee?

Yes, at €20 per employee per month. Employees see their payslips in the portal, and changes go through the payroll chat. Payroll runs on a DATEV engine in the background.

Stripe, USD accounts and EU customers?

Stripe connects directly, currencies are converted automatically, and reverse charge and EC sales lists are covered.

Convertible loans, investors and grants?

Generally yes, with a surcharge depending on complexity. The tax firm checks this during onboarding.

What is not included?

Tax structuring advice, such as reorganisations or moving abroad, and travel expense accounting are offered separately. Marketplace e-commerce is supported through pathway only.

Where is my data stored?

On servers in Germany. Nothing goes to the tax office without your approval.
