10 benefits of lexoffice
‍

In this article, we introduce 10 of the many other benefits of lexoffice that will take the pressure off you as an entrepreneur.

Benefit 1: The lexoffice dashboard

You can access an up-to-date overview of your VAT liability, the status of outstanding invoices, and—thanks to synchronization with your business account—your real-time account balance with just a few clicks. This means you always know how much you should set aside for taxes. The lexoffice landing page consists of a practical dashboard:

When you log in to the lexoffice app or open the application on your desktop, you will see your most important key figures, such as income and expenses, at a glance—unless you are working on the go and switch on privacy mode. With lexoffice, you can work on mobile or desktop wherever you have internet access. In privacy mode, your data is visible only to you, even when you're in a café.

Benefit 2: "Automagic" receipt booking

The "automagic" AI technology integrated into lexoffice for the automatic and accurate recognition of incoming and outgoing receipts is constantly being further developed. It helps you with fully automated booking allocation and uses text recognition to reliably identify what a receipt is for. All you have to do is confirm it.

With lexoffice and the scan app, you can capture all incoming receipts for your accounting the moment the payment occurs: for example, scan the receipt directly at a wholesaler or gas station, check the allocation suggestion made "automagically" by lexoffice, and the receipt is booked. Invoices arriving via email or download can, of course, be allocated automatically just as easily; they are simply uploaded into the application.

Benefit 3: Integrated online banking

Because lexoffice allows you to connect your business accounts, credit cards, and PayPal to the app, you always benefit from real-time data reconciliation. The online banking feature integrated into lexoffice connects to your business account—or ideally, to all your relevant business accounts. You can see which amounts are still outstanding at any time, with no extra effort. All transactions are automatically categorized, and any necessary transfers can be made directly within lexoffice.

Benefit 4: Reports and EĂśR/P&L

In addition to the legally compliant archiving of your incoming and outgoing invoices and the valid cash book in lexoffice, you can also easily fulfill your business obligations: important tax requirements such as filing VAT returns, EC sales lists, as well as income surplus statements (EÜR) and profit and loss statements (P&L) are conveniently possible at the click of a button with lexoffice. The necessary data is transmitted to the tax office immediately—and if a payment is due, it can also be made instantly from within lexoffice.

Benefit 5: lexoffice Business Account

If you are looking for a different or new business account, you should take a closer look at the lexoffice business account: it offers the perfect integration of accounting and banking at favorable rates. You can open an account online in just a few minutes. The banking functions, fully integrated into the accounting solution, save you even more of your valuable time.

Benefit 6: lexoffice is e-invoice ready

A special plus: lexoffice is e-invoice ready. When you create invoices with lexoffice and book incoming receipts, you don't have to worry about implementing new legal requirements, because the business solution from Lexware handles everything for you: E stands for easy.

Benefit 7: lexoffice Payroll

If you want to hire employees, part-time staff, or even mini-jobbers for your company, you will find it particularly exciting how effortlessly payroll accounting is seamlessly integrated into the rest of your bookkeeping with lexoffice. This even includes the digital provision of payslips for employees, who can simply take care of downloading their own payroll documents. Payroll accounting is efficient, certified, and legally compliant, just as you would expect from lexoffice.

Benefit 8: Integrated Cash Book

Do you occasionally need a cash book for cash transactions and have been struggling with paper until now? You’ll be pleased to hear that thanks to lexoffice, you no longer need to keep a manual cash book. Instead, you can use the integrated lexoffice version, which meets all tax office requirements. Cash expenses and income can be easily recorded, categorized, and split.

Benefit 9: Efficient collaboration with your tax firm

As a lexoffice user, you will never have to send documents back and forth again, whether on paper or digitally. Thanks to the integrated tax advisor access, your tax firm can access all data at any time, regardless of your availability, and export it as needed. Access is free for your tax advisor; simply enter your contact person's email address at the firm into the lexoffice invitation for tax advisors, and you can start collaborating from anywhere at any time.

Your tax firm can export the data in their preferred format. Should you encounter any initial difficulties, the lexoffice support team for tax firms is happy to assist with your collaboration until everything runs smoothly.

Benefit 10: Partner integrations and API

Particularly exciting: The connection between Tidely and lexoffice is not the only way to expand your IT environment with additional features. You can also integrate time-tracking solutions, e-commerce tools, payment providers, CRM tools, and much more.

As a startup founder, you face new challenges every day. Processes are implemented step by step, structures are continuously adapted, and the business model has yet to prove itself.

That is why it is vital for startups to keep an eye on their finances from the very beginning and know how long their cash will last. Burn rate and cash runway are essential metrics that every startup should know. We explain how to calculate both and provide tips on how to optimize your runway length.

Interim financing for businesses: Bridge loans for fast liquidity

Interim financing can be a vital tool for your company to bridge short-term liquidity bottlenecks or close funding gaps when planned funds are not yet available. This type of bridge loan is often used to pre-finance projects or large orders until customers make their promised payments. It is also used by start-ups, for example, to bridge the time until a confirmed funding round, or to finance investments like machinery until they are covered by an agreed lease or a committed long-term loan. But how does interim financing work and what are the costs involved? In this article, we answer these and other questions and show you how to optimally use interim financing for your company.

Working Capital: Definition, Calculation & Optimization

Working capital is one of the most important key figures when it comes to your company's short-term financial strength. It answers a simple but crucial question: are your short-term assets sufficient to pay your current bills? For SMEs and mid-sized companies in particular, this is more than just a balance sheet figure, because capital tied up in inventory and outstanding receivables is capital that is missing elsewhere for growth and investment. In this guide, you will learn exactly what working capital is, how to calculate it step by step, which benchmarks apply depending on the industry, and which levers you can use to optimize it effectively. Includes worked examples and a look at the cash conversion cycle.
