DigitalBilanz GmbH: Navigating GoBD Compliance with Confidence
We’re the partner you need for understanding and implementing Germany’s digital accounting standards. Since 2018, we’ve helped businesses transform their financial documentation practices.
Why We Exist
The GoBD regulations weren’t a suggestion—they were a necessity. We recognized the confusion businesses faced.
When the German Federal Tax Office introduced the Grundsätze zur ordnungsmäßigen Führung und Aufbewahrung von Büchern, Aufzeichnungen und Unterlagen in elektronischer Form sowie zum Datenzugriff (GoBD) in 2015, many accountants and business owners didn’t know where to start. We did. DigitalBilanz GmbH was founded to bridge that gap—to make digital accounting standards accessible and manageable for organizations of all sizes.
We’ve worked with manufacturers tracking production data, service providers managing client billing, retailers handling inventory, and consultants documenting hours. The industries differ, but the challenge remains the same: how do you stay compliant with Germany’s strict digital documentation requirements while keeping operations efficient? That’s what we solve every single day.
Our Specialized Knowledge
We don’t just understand GoBD—we live it. Our team stays current with every update and interpretation.
Document Storage Systems
Proper archival isn’t just throwing files in a folder. We guide you through the specific requirements for retention, metadata, and retrieval that GoBD demands.
Data Security & Integrity
Your financial data must be tamper-proof. We help implement systems that provide immutability and audit trails while maintaining accessibility for legitimate business needs.
Regulatory Compliance
GoBD compliance isn’t static. We monitor changes in tax authority guidance and help you adjust your processes to stay ahead of expectations.
System Integration
Whether you’re using accounting software, ERP systems, or custom applications, we know how to ensure they work within GoBD frameworks.
Digital Standards Training
Your team needs to understand why these rules matter. We provide practical training that sticks, not just compliance theater.
Audit Readiness
When auditors arrive, you’re prepared. We help you document everything properly so you can confidently demonstrate compliance.
Our Implementation Process
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Here’s how we partner with you to achieve real compliance.
Assessment & Analysis
We start by understanding your current processes, systems, and pain points. What’s working? Where are the gaps? This foundation determines everything that follows.
Customized Strategy Development
GoBD compliance looks different for a consulting firm versus a manufacturing plant. We develop a strategy tailored to your industry, size, and operational complexity.
Implementation & System Setup
We work alongside your team to implement the strategy—setting up storage systems, configuring software, establishing workflows, and ensuring everyone knows their role.
Training & Documentation
Your people are your best compliance tool. We train staff on the why behind the rules and document everything so future employees understand the system too.
Ongoing Support & Updates
Regulations shift. Technology evolves. We stay engaged, helping you adapt and maintain compliance without constant firefighting.
What Drives DigitalBilanz GmbH
We’re not here to sell you the fanciest software or make compliance sound scarier than it is. We’re here because we believe businesses shouldn’t spend sleepless nights worrying about audit findings. Your energy should go toward growing your company, not wrestling with documentation systems. When you work with us, you get a partner who understands the regulations, speaks your language, and genuinely wants to make this easier.
“The difference between GoBD compliance and just having documents is understanding the why. DigitalBilanz GmbH helped us see it wasn’t about rules for rules’ sake—it was about protecting our business.”
