Why finance teams and tax advisors work this way
DATEV stays in charge
Accounts, suppliers and accounting rules are managed in DATEV, where your accountant owns them. Spendesk follows that structure.
Less setup, fewer mistakes
Tax codes come from DATEV, so there's no separate list to configure and keep in step.
Audit-ready receipts
Receipts are archived in DATEV Belege Online and linked to each posting.
Set up by people who know DATEV
A DATEV-trained CSM guides your setup, so accounts, tax codes and cost centres are right from day one.
All your spend in one export
Card payments, invoices, credit notes, reimbursements, wallet loads, and bank and FX fees go through the same connection
Clean books start before spend reaches DATEV
The quality of your DATEV books depends on how spend is approved, coded and documented before it's posted.

Cards, invoices, procurement, contracts, expenses and budgets in one place.
