How Heft gets in touch · example
Heft07:02
Good morning. Last night I fetched 48 receipts and booked September. 2 payments need you.
Heft02:14
The €39.99 Telekom invoice was in the customer centre. I fetched it and matched it to the payment.
Heft23:40
I found 17 invoices in your inbox and matched them to their payments.
Every night
Accountant, software or AI bookkeeping: so far, you bring the receipts. Heft fetches them.
How Heft does your books
Connect your account and inbox once. From then on Heft fetches the receipts, books every payment and only gets in touch when it needs you.
1 · Connect your account
See at once which receipt is missing.
Heft only reads your business account and never moves money. Mark private payments with one tap.
2 · Heft searches
Overnight, even behind portal logins.
Your inbox and supplier portals, with no fixed list. When an invoice sits behind a login, Heft asks you to sign in once. After that it fetches every invoice there itself.
3 · Heft books, you approve
Heft books the month and hands it over.
Every payment booked with its receipt and VAT. Anything new waits for your OK. Then Heft closes the month and hands it to your accountant.
A month with Heft
From the first login to a booked month. Tap a day and see what Heft does.
At night · while you sleep
The invoice that sits in a portal
Many invoices never come by email. Heft signs in to the customer centre at night, downloads the PDF and matches it to the payment. In the morning it's simply there.
The €39.99 Telekom invoice was in the customer centre. I fetched it and matched it to the payment on 3 Sep.

Heft for Germany.
In Germany Heft goes further than the receipts: it speaks DATEV and does the full books on German tax, for freelancers and companies alike.
DATEV export for your Steuerberater
Each month arrives in the format your Steuerberater's software reads, with the receipts attached.
SKR 03 or 04, kept to GoBD
Every payment booked on the chart of accounts your adviser uses, and every record kept for the period GoBD requires.
VAT returns through ELSTER
Heft prepares the Umsatzsteuer-Voranmeldung and files it through ELSTER once you approve.
Finanzamt letters
Heft reads the letter, tells you in plain words what it wants and puts the deadline in your calendar.
EÜR or year-end accounts
The EÜR for freelancers and sole traders. For GmbH and UG: annual accounts, E-Bilanz and tax returns, signed by a partner Steuerberater.
Every legal form
Freelancers, sole traders, GmbH and UG. Heft also works with a private account you pay business costs from.

Questions
Who is it for?
Freelancers, sole traders and small companies, whatever the legal form, in Europe and the United States. It also works with a private account you pay business costs from. Heft connects banks in Germany, its neighbours and the US. The receipts work in all of them; the full bookkeeping runs on German tax.
Is Heft an accountant?
No. Heft is software: it does the work and explains what it did. Tax advice and signatures stay with a licensed adviser, yours or a partner Steuerberater in Germany.
Can I keep my current accountant?
Yes. Each month they get the booked month with every receipt, in a format their software reads or by email. We agree the format with them when you start.
Does Heft ask before it acts?
For anything that leaves your company, yes: the handover to your accountant, the VAT return, a cancellation. New suppliers and uncertain matches wait for your OK. Every booking can be undone, and Heft never moves money.
What if my supplier's portal isn't supported?
There's no fixed list. Heft learns a portal the first time you sign in with it. If a portal blocks it, Heft asks you for the receipt instead of failing quietly.
What happens to my data?
Your books are stored with Google Cloud in Frankfurt, and the AI models run on Google Cloud in the EU. Some service providers are US companies, such as PostHog, which keeps the records of Heft's work. You can export your records at any time, and nothing is used for AI training. Retention, deletion and every service provider are in the data processing agreement you get before you connect an account.
Who at Heft can see my data?
Heft's team reads records of Heft's work for 30 days, to find and fix its mistakes; they can include your messages, payments and receipts. They also see what you send them, such as a part of the chat you report. They open your books only if a director grants support access, read-only and for 30 days at most, or where security, such as investigating abuse, or the law requires it. Saved logins and bank API keys are encrypted and never reach the AI models. The security page, linked at the foot of this page, has the details.
What can Heft do at launch?
Everything on this page. For every company: fetch receipts, match them to payments and deliver the month to your accountant. For German companies also: book every payment, prepare the VAT return and, at the year-end, the EÜR or annual accounts a Steuerberater signs. The product status page lists what is being built, with dates.
When can I start?
Today. Create your account, pick a plan and pay, then connect your bank.
