PowerOn exports your solar PV company’s bookkeeping directly to DATEV, the accounting software format most German tax advisors work with, using the SKR03 or SKR04 standard chart of accounts. Bookkeeping stays GoBD-compliant -- meeting the German legal requirements for audit-proof digital recordkeeping -- so your tax advisor receives import-ready data instead of reformatting an export by hand every month.

Use cases

Bookkeeper at a 15-person solar installer working with an external tax advisor

Situation
Formatting the monthly export for the tax advisor’s DATEV system by hand risks mismatched account numbers and takes time away from other bookkeeping tasks.
How we solve it
PowerOn exports directly in DATEV format against the SKR03/SKR04 chart of accounts the tax advisor already uses, so the file imports without reformatting.

Managing director preparing for a tax audit

Situation
The company needs to demonstrate that its digital books meet GoBD requirements for audit-proof recordkeeping, and is unsure whether current records would hold up.
How we solve it
PowerOn keeps accounting entries GoBD-compliant by design, so records stay traceable and unchangeable ahead of an audit rather than needing cleanup beforehand.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I export PowerOn accounting data to DATEV?

Yes. PowerOn exports accounting data directly in DATEV format -- the accounting data exchange format published by DATEV eG and used by the great majority of German tax advisory firms -- so it can be imported into your tax advisor’s own DATEV software.

What is GoBD compliance and does PowerOn support it?

GoBD stands for the German principles for the proper management and retention of books, records and documents in electronic form. PowerOn keeps entries GoBD-compliant, meaning bookkeeping records are traceable and unchangeable in a way that satisfies German tax authorities during an audit.

Does PowerOn support both SKR03 and SKR04?

Yes. PowerOn works with both SKR03 and SKR04, the two standard charts of accounts used in Germany, so the export matches whichever one your tax advisor already uses for your company.

Does my tax advisor need special software to work with PowerOn exports?

No new software is required on the tax advisor’s side. Because PowerOn exports in the standard DATEV format, most German tax advisory firms can import the data directly into the DATEV software they already run.

Can I switch between SKR03 and SKR04 later?

The chart of accounts is set up together with your tax advisor when PowerOn accounting is configured for your company, since a change affects existing bookings; talk to your PowerOn contact before switching.
