Summary

DeinHans turns monthly bookkeeping preparation into a visible workflow. Evidence enters once, Hans organizes the work, owners answer business facts, accountants review professional treatment, and handoff context stays traceable.

Best for

Owners, accountants, and evaluators who want the product model before choosing a detailed guide.

What the workflow needs

A month only becomes useful when the inputs, responsibilities, and review path are clear.

  • A selected business month or period, not a vague pile of documents.
  • Source evidence such as invoices, receipts, contracts, statements, payout reports, and bank rows.
  • An owner who can answer what happened in the business when the source alone is not enough.
  • An accountant or professional reviewer when treatment, approval, or handoff decisions are needed.

Monthly flow

The flow keeps preparation separate from human responsibility.

  1. 01Collect the monthUpload or connect the evidence and bank context for the selected period before trying to close it.
  2. 02Prepare the work surfaceHans extracts candidate facts, groups evidence, links related items, and shows where context is missing.
  3. 03Route uncertaintyOwner questions, matching gaps, low-confidence cases, and accountant review needs become visible work instead of hidden assumptions.
  4. 04Review with contextThe accountant inspects source evidence, owner answers, proposal context, and exceptions before approving or changing treatment.
  5. 05Move toward close or handoffOnly reviewed and explained work should support month close, DATEV handoff, or downstream export context.

What Hans prepares

Hans reduces repetitive preparation work without replacing judgment.

  • A structured view of documents, extracted facts, bank rows, tasks, and review signals for the period.
  • Suggested links between evidence and payments where the available context supports a match.
  • Focused tasks for missing business facts, unclear documents, or unresolved payment context.
  • Review context that helps accountants inspect what is ready and what still needs attention.

What people decide

The workflow is useful because the decision points stay explicit.

  • Owners confirm business facts: what was bought, sold, reimbursed, split, private, missing, or unusual.
  • Accountants decide professional treatment, edits, approvals, rejections, and handoff readiness.
  • Teams decide whether a month is complete enough to move forward or whether exceptions remain open.
  • No public guide should be read as automatic posting, tax advice, or a guarantee of compliance.

Boundaries to keep clear

These boundaries prevent the workflow from sounding like magic.

  • Preparation is not the same as approval; a prepared item can still be wrong or incomplete.
  • A task is a request for missing context, not a failure message or a final accounting decision.
  • Matching suggests a relationship between evidence and money movement; it does not prove treatment by itself.
  • DATEV handoff depends on reviewed context and accountant control, not on a public marketing claim.

Where to go next

Pick the guide that matches the job in front of you.

  • Start with the first-month guide if you are setting up the workflow for the first time.
  • Use the evidence guide when you need to upload files and understand needs-attention states.
  • Use the tasks guide when Hans asks a question or blocks a record from moving forward.
  • Use the accountant review or DATEV handoff guide when the month is ready for professional review.

Scope note

This guide explains the public workflow model. It is not accounting, tax, legal, or DATEV implementation advice.

Next step

Start with one concrete month.

Use the resources to understand the workflow, then request a focused first-month setup.
