Funny, I could have written this post (apart from some of the bursts of motivation in between the lines like “I was about to write that software myself”). I am at the Commerzbank, I’m using Collmex and I am currently exporting all my monthly statements via bank2swift and then upload them to the Commerzbank.

I am super annoyed by the process, especially since I still have to print out the bank statements and then again add all the invoicing documents…

My businesss grew bit by bit, so I am still using Excel to do some of my accounting and in a way, I’m now suffering from doing all my bookkeeping works twice as I’m both entering everything in Excel AND in Collmex.

I have heard a couple of good things about Holvi and am very willing to give another system a go. I feel like after having bested Collmex, there’s not that much that bookkeepers and the state can throw in my way that will slow me down even further. As you said, it’s pretty powerful, but I don’t think it’s all that userfriendly. And it’s all the more annoying as all of this should have been automated a very long time ago.
