What is BuchhaltungsButler?
BuchhaltungsButler is a cloud bookkeeping tool from Berlin, part of the Visma group, for small and midsize companies in Germany. AI recognizes receipts, pre-codes entries based on past bookings and links receipts to bank payments.
The software handles receipt and payment management, full bookkeeping, e-invoices, an invoice approval process, VAT filing and the DATEV export for the tax advisor. Separate plans serve online retailers, with connections to Amazon, eBay, Shopify and Billbee, and associations, with the SKR42 and SKR49 charts of accounts. The Premium plan includes five user accounts, and an API is available as a paid add-on in the Light, Smart and Premium plans. BuchhaltungsButler GmbH is based in Berlin, belongs to Visma and states that more than 20,000 businesses use the software. It suits companies that keep their books in house and hand the year end to a tax advisor.
BuchhaltungsButler AI features and use cases
- Recognizes receipts with AIUploaded invoices and receipts are read by AI-assisted recognition, which is part of every plan. Finance staff skip typing supplier, amount and date and review the captured data instead, which shortens the time from receipt to booking.
- Pre-codes entries from past bookingsBuchhaltungsButler proposes the booking for each item and learns from how the company coded similar items before. The vendor states that the software takes over more than 80 percent of the work after a short learning phase.
- Links receipts and paymentsTransactions from connected bank accounts are matched to the right receipts and invoices automatically. Bookkeepers no longer search statements for each payment, and open items without a receipt become visible sooner.
What sets BuchhaltungsButler apart
- AI receipt recognition, DATEV export, e-invoices and the invoice approval process are included from the smallest plan, Light, at 3.90 euros per month.
- Offers dedicated plans for online retailers with marketplace connections and for associations with the SKR42 and SKR49 charts of accounts.

Questions to ask before you buy BuchhaltungsButler
Check with your tax advisor how the DATEV export fits their process and whether they book or only close the year. If several people approve invoices, compare the invoice approval process with your internal sign-off rules and count the users you need, since Premium includes five. The data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is linked as a PDF in the terms. According to the privacy notice for the software, document recognition runs through ABBYY with processing in a data center in the Netherlands.
