About DATEV
DATEV is a German company offering software and services for accounting, payroll and tax work. Its customers include tax advisors, auditors and lawyers as well as companies and public sector organizations, and the product range is built around German tax and labor regulations.
The German-language homepage is organized by audience: tax consulting, auditing, legal advice, businesses and the public sector. It promotes a move to cloud-based collaboration, with online products for businesses and for employees, a partner program, support and remote assistance, and a shop. It also notes a change to how users sign in to datev.de, replacing the older user account with a smart card, mIDentity or SmartLogin.
DATEV is a commercial provider and details on costs are handled through its shop and advisors, so no prices are summarized here. It fits German businesses and the professionals who prepare their books and taxes.
