Balance sheet & filing
DE Sign in with Digi Soft Hub

User guide

From trial balance to a balance sheet ready for filing. About 10 minutes if your bookkeeping is done.

Before you start

  1. Sign in with your Digi Soft Hub account.
  2. Bookkeeping for the year is closed and you have a trial balance (SKR03).
  3. You know: register court and number, financial year, balance sheet date, managing director, number of employees.
  4. The shareholders have approved the annual accounts, or will before filing.

CSV format

One row per general ledger account, header row required. Delimiter ;, , or tab is detected. Accounts are 1 to 4 digits (SKR03), e.g. bank 1200.

Konto;Bezeichnung;Saldo
0800;Gezeichnetes Kapital;1.000,00 H
1200;Bank;550,00 S
1600;Verbindlichkeiten aus Lieferungen und Leistungen;150,00 H
4950;Rechts- und Beratungskosten;200,00 S
4955;Buchführungskosten;400,00 S

Alternatively use two columns Soll (debit) and Haben (credit). A suffix S/H or a minus sign sets the side. Amounts are read to the cent; more than two decimals are rejected, not rounded. All balances must sum to 0.

The 5 steps

  1. Import: upload the file (max 1 MB) or load sample data.
  2. Company: register data, period, size criteria (optional but recommended for plausibility checks), approval date, managing director. Under "notes below the balance sheet" enter contingent liabilities and loans to board members; type "keine" if there are none.
  3. Check: errors block the export; read the notes and confirm them consciously.
  4. Preview: assets, liabilities, result, equity ratio.
  5. Export: download PDF and XML.

This tool submits nothing itself and stores no ELSTER certificates. The E-Bilanz for the tax office is not part of this version. Check results and the PDF are in German, as the commercial register requires.
