Frequently asked questions

It reads receipts and invoices, proposes the booking with account and VAT code, and prepares everything for your tax advisor. You approve every booking before it is posted, then export to DATEV or BMD.

No. The AI only creates proposals. A booking is posted only after a person with the right role has approved it.

DATEV and BMD exports for your tax advisor, plus CSV and PDF. Sales invoices can be created as ebInterface or XRechnung, and incoming ZUGFeRD invoices are read.

Fully for Austria and Germany: chart of accounts, tax codes, advance VAT return (UVA or UStVA), cash-basis accounting (E/A or EÜR), the small-business rules and accountant export. In the other EU countries, and in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, you get the basic package: receipt capture, AI extraction, invoicing and accountant export, but no country-specific tax return.

Saldek runs on servers of Hetzner in Germany, where the database with your accounting data is kept. Your document files are stored with Amazon Web Services in Frankfurt, Germany, and the encrypted database backups with Amazon Web Services in the EU. In the standard mode, TypeSafe and OpenAI read documents in the USA, and Google if OpenAI cannot give a usable answer; TypeSafe also helps with booking proposals, bank matching and duplicate checks. Saldek sends data to them only under their data processing agreements, with the EU standard contractual clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework as the transfer basis, and they keep it only for a limited time. In the “Without AI” mode, no data goes to an AI provider. Your documents are not used to train AI models. Details are in the privacy policy and the list of subprocessors.
