Key Benefits:
No other banking platform offers Tax forecasting which is handy since you don’t need to manually calculate how much you will need to pay in taxes. The predicted taxes is automatically set aside in a separate account which you will always have the ability to access. Keep in mind that depreciation is not included for high-value items.
If you also need accounting software, we highly recommend utilizing Kontist’s partnership with Lexoffice. If you are interested in getting both Kontist Premium and Lexoffice than Duo is a great deal for you since LexOffice normally costs 7.90 Euros per month. This deal is only offered to folks who don’t already have a LexOffice subscription. With Duo, you will gain access to a LexOffice account and Kontist Premium. In the process, you will sign two contracts one with Kontist and the other with LexOffice.
