In practice, this means:
Questions, document checks and reconciliations are handled directly within the system — no email back-and-forth, no duplicate effort. Less admin for the tax advisor, faster closings for the client.
Unlike SevDesk, Frienton is built for growing companies and corporations that prepare balance sheets — not primarily for freelancers, founders and small companies on cash-basis accounting (Einnahmenüberschussrechnung, EÜR). Unlike SevDesk, Frienton posts automatically and completely, so the tax firm can take over the accounting batch directly and productively. Unlike SevDesk, Frienton includes live financial reporting (cashflow plan-vs-actual, Live-BWA and balance sheet), liquidity planning with runway and burn rate, accounts and cost centres as well as native integrations to Stripe, Shopify, Shopware, Amazon, MOCO and others as part of the standard scope.
