Feature · DATEV export
DATEV export: prepare your accounting for your tax advisor.
Choose a period and download your postings with optional documents as a DATEV export. Your advisor can import the package into compatible accounting software.
An everyday example
Prepare a month of accounting for your tax advisor
At month end, you want to hand over reviewed entries and their supporting documents. Agree the period, required format and whether to include a document package with your advisor before exporting.
Check the accounting period
Review the selected period and resolve outstanding drafts or incorrect account coding. Exporting does not automatically add a missing entry. A useful handover starts with reviewed source data.
Create the DATEV EXTF file
Export the entry batch with document references and tax codes. Add the optional document package if needed so the receiving advisor can check entries against the supporting records.
Agree the handover
Send the files through the channel agreed with your advisor. Import takes place in the compatible receiving system; this is a file export, not an automatic direct connection to the advisor’s software.
Prepare entries and documents together. This makes it easier to discuss a specific transaction without collecting its invoices again from several folders.
What it does
Hand over postings together
The download contains a DATEV EXTF posting batch for compatible imports in your business or tax practice. A direct DATEV connection is not included.
Include invoice dates and references
The document date follows invoice, alternatively value or posting date. Field 1 contains invoice number or reference; a second reference goes to field 2.
Carry tax information across
Posted BU keys and tax information are transferred directly into the DATEV EXTF export.
Keep using your chart of accounts
accuno exports the accounts maintained in the client using the standard EXTF or a configured export schema.
Tax-advisor access in accuno
Instead of monthly exports: invite the tax advisor as their own role directly into accuno. They see the tenant read-only or edit, with no CSV back-and-forth.
Review data before importing
Use import templates and column mappings for supported entry and master-data formats. Review the preview, correct problematic rows and resolve duplicates before importing.
Typical scenarios
Freelancer once/year
You hand the DATEV batch to your tax advisor once a year for the tax return. Three clicks: pick the period, export, download the file.
SMB monthly
Monthly handover in three steps: choose the period, start the export, and download the finished package.
Bookkeeping firm with own client
Your client grants you access to their accuno (tax-advisor role). You work directly in the client account, with no CSV import needed.
Practical guide
Working with your tax advisor without broken handovers
A smooth tax-advisor handover needs clear responsibilities, a fixed monthly readiness definition, and tested export parameters. Keep questions with the record or posting so decisions remain traceable.

Frequently asked questions
Which DATEV format is supported?
accuno exports a DATEV EXTF posting batch in CSV format for compatible import workflows in tax firms and businesses.
Is there a direct DATEV-Connect integration?
The asynchronous DATEV EXTF package is currently available as a download. A direct DATEV Connect integration is not part of the product.
Can the tax advisor work directly in accuno?
Yes. You invite the tax advisor as their own role into your tenant (available from the Starter plan). They have read-only access or can also edit. The monthly CSV exchange disappears entirely.
How is the document date mapped?
The document date follows invoice, alternatively value or posting date. Field 1 contains the invoice number or reference; a second reference is transferred to field 2.
