With other accounting programs you still do the bookkeeping yourself. Not with mika. Importing transactions, categorizing them, booking them: it all runs automatically. mika automates more than 95% of your bookkeeping, including your VAT returns and your Jahresabschluss (the annual financial statements a German GmbH or UG has to file). Upload and forget: set it up once, the rest runs by itself.
With mika you automate your entire accounting, including receipt capture, VAT returns and your complete Jahresabschluss. As soon as you connect your business account through an encrypted bank interface, mika imports all transactions automatically every day. In parallel, you capture receipts by photo, email forwarding or manual upload. mika automatically recognizes the supplier, the amount and the tax rate, and links every receipt to the right booking. The AI analyzes every transaction and assigns it to the right account, following SKR03 or SKR04, depending on your chart of accounts. In your dashboard you always see a current BWA (the standard German monthly management report on your business results), all account balances and how your liquidity is developing. Based on this data, mika prepares your Umsatzsteuervoranmeldung (the monthly VAT return) every month and submits it automatically via ELSTER, the German tax authorities' online portal. At the end of the year your complete Jahresabschluss, balance sheet, profit and loss statement and notes, is generated automatically from the same bookkeeping. Our team of experts reviews the result before submission. You sign off as managing director. Done.
mika analyses your receipts, automatically recognizes errors and deadlines and gives you valuable insights. If necessary, experts are available to answer your questions.
Connect your bank account
To start, you connect your business account to mika through an encrypted bank interface. This usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. In parallel, you set up your legal form (UG or GmbH), your fiscal year and your chart of accounts (SKR03 or SKR04). From this moment on, mika imports all new transactions automatically every day, you don't need to trigger anything manually.
mika books automatically
As soon as transactions come in, the AI starts categorizing them. In your dashboard, you see your BWA, your liquidity overview and all running accounts in real time. Every month, mika automatically prepares your VAT return and submits it via ELSTER. You are notified before every submission and can review the numbers. You always stay in full control.
Your annual financial statements are ready
At the end of the fiscal year, mika automatically generates your complete annual financial statements from your bookkeeping, with balance sheet, profit and loss statement and notes in the legally required form under HGB. Our accounting team reviews the result and gets back to you if anything needs clarifying. You sign off on the statements as managing director.

DATEV and Lexware are primarily built for tax advisors or traditional bookkeepers. mika is built for business owners without a bookkeeping background or prior knowledge, and goes further.
mika creates not just your ongoing bookkeeping, but also your complete annual financial statements, and submits them directly to the Finanzamt (your local tax office). Without a tax advisor.
Not for ongoing bookkeeping, VAT returns or annual financial statements.
For strategic tax questions (for example company restructuring, shareholdings, optimizing a managing director's salary), a tax advisor can still make sense as a consultant, but no longer for the compliance work.
