“Can an AI-first German accounting SaaS win the GoBD-compliant SMB bookkeeping market by automating bank-feed reconciliation and DATEV handoff?”
BuchhaltungsButler was founded in 2015 in Berlin by Maximilian Zeyda and Konrad Fuhrmann to automate SMB bookkeeping in Germany with AI-driven receipt recognition and auto-coding. The product targets growing German SMBs that want GoBD-compliant bookkeeping without hiring a full-time bookkeeper, differentiating on bank-feed automation and DATEV export rather than on embedded financial products. In 2026 the company was acquired by Visma Software International, folding it into the broader Visma European accounting portfolio.
