You write an invoice, and it's in your BWA right away.
It arrives as a PDF from your Steuerberater (licensed tax advisor). You read it like an old newspaper.
In mika you open the BWA, and October is already there, down to the invoice you wrote this week.
Your partner agency Brandt Motion Design emails you its invoice. If your Gmail inbox is connected to mika, mika picks it up overnight.
Prefer to do it yourself? Forward it to your mika address or upload it.
The invoice has two items, €1,600.00 net for the motion design and €400.00 net for the music licence. mika books each one to its own account and matches the €2,380.00 gross transfer from your business account. 98 percent of all bookings in mika run this way, automatically. Trained accountants from our team review your bookings, and anything only you can answer lands with you as a to-do, an open question from mika.
You open Reports in mika. Under October, the €1,600.00 net already sits in Material-/Wareneinkauf (materials and purchased services), the €400.00 in Sonstige Kosten (other costs). mika recalculates the BWA from your bookings every time you open it, in seconds, on the 3rd of the month just as on the 30th.
You click Material-/Wareneinkauf and see the accounts and bookings behind it. The invoice number opens the invoice itself. No folder full of receipts, no email to anyone.
From the BWA cell to the invoice, in two clicks.
You pick the start and end month, say September to October. Each month gets its own column, plus the total.
The PDF for your bank, the Excel file for your own calculations. Traceable down to the individual invoice.
The BWA follows your own chart of accounts. SKR03 and SKR04 are the two standard German charts, and your company books by one of them. SKR03 today, SKR04 tomorrow? No problem: you switch it in your settings.
For your Steuerberater, in DATEV, the software German tax firms work in. Or for a tax audit. GoBD are the German tax authorities' rules for digital bookkeeping records.
The BWA (management report) is always up to date in the tool, instead of landing in the inbox as a PDF weeks later.
SuSa and open items The SuSa (trial balance) shows every account on its own. You see which customer still owes you money (debtors, Debitoren in German). Open items in real time.
When your customer pays When the payment reaches your account, mika matches it to the invoice and the open item is closed.GuV and Bilanz The GuV (profit and loss statement) with a prior-year column, and the Bilanz (balance sheet) under the HGB, the German Commercial Code.LukaNiklasAn expert from our team shows you mika liveA live demo, tailored to your companyYour questions on bookkeeping and German paperwork answered on the spot15 minutes on a video call, free and with no strings attachedFor online shops
Through our partner Pathway Solutions, your sales from Stripe, PayPal and Shopify reach mika every day.
For SaaS companies
You set up recurring invoices once, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly. After that they go out automatically, and each one counts as revenue in the month of its invoice date.
You create as many cost centres as you like, including for areas with their own revenue. In the BWA you put them side by side, for each month and in total.
Bottom line: clear to-dos instead of chaos, noticeably less effort, full control. A clear recommendation for any GmbH without its own finance department.

Office Manager, MEM Energy & Technical Solutions GmbH
Translated from German
Quick and easy, very thorough, much less complicated than with previous tax advisors.
Thank God there is mika. For about a year now our entire financial accounting has run through it, without me as a founder having to put much time into it.
BWA stands for betriebswirtschaftliche Auswertung, the German monthly management report. It shows you, month by month, your revenue, your costs and what is left at the end, in lines such as Umsatzerlöse (revenue), Personalkosten (staff costs) or Raumkosten (premises costs). mika assigns every revenue and expense account to the right line automatically.
As up to date as your bookings. mika books your receipts and bank transactions as soon as they arrive, not at month end. Bank transactions come in as soon as your bank reports them, at the latest with the daily sync. mika recalculates the BWA every time you open it.
Then trained accountants from our team correct it. They review your bookings. If mika needs your input on a receipt, you get a to-do, an open question from mika, for example when something is missing on the invoice. If you correct something yourself, the change is in your BWA the next time you open it.
Yes. You do your ongoing bookkeeping in mika, and your live BWA comes from it. Your Steuerberater (licensed tax advisor) does the Jahresabschluss (annual financial statements) and gets your bookings as a DATEV export.
As soon as your onboarding is done and mika has loaded your previous bookkeeping data. From that moment your BWA is live, and the next receipt you upload is already in it.
Yes. You download the BWA for any period within a year as PDF or Excel, in your company's chart of accounts (SKR03 or SKR04, the two standard German charts). The Excel file holds real numbers down to the individual accounts, so you can keep calculating with it straight away. For your Steuerberater (licensed tax advisor) there is the DATEV export under Export Data, for a tax audit the GoBD export.
Three more. The SuSa (trial balance) with all accounts, also by debtors and creditors. The GuV (profit and loss statement) with a prior-year column. And the Bilanz (balance sheet). All four reports come with every plan.
Yes. In the BWA or SuSa you select several cost centres and see them side by side, for each month and in total. For example, you see which of two departments kept more in October. You create unlimited cost centres. More on the cost centres page.
Through our partner Pathway Solutions. Pathway pulls your data from Stripe, PayPal, Shopify and every other source Pathway supports, and mika books it daily. If you sell to other EU countries via OSS (the EU One-Stop-Shop for VAT), each country gets its own revenue account.
Yes. If your bank or your investors ask for a Jahresabschluss (the annual financial statements) certified by a Steuerberater, a German tax advisor, mika connects you with a partner tax advisor who takes care of it. The All Inclusive package already includes a partner tax advisor for the Jahresabschluss.
Yes. mika exports your bookkeeping in the DATEV EXTF format at any time. You can hand the data to your Steuerberater without mika locking you in.
All data on German servers, GDPR compliant, AWS infrastructure in Frankfurt. mika is built along the GoBD principles for proper bookkeeping in electronic form. Authentication with two-factor (a TOTP authenticator app).
BWA, SuSa, GuV and Bilanz are part of every plan, at no extra cost. So are the accountants from our team who work on your bookings.
