Can anyone recommend software that works for the German market (but also available in English), ideally that can integrate with Elster?

I use FreeAgent for my Zweigniederlassung. I export my bank transactions from Volksbank's web interface, convert the file with a script I wrote (https://github.com/airblade/volksbanker) and upload into FreeAgent.

FreeAgent doesn't integrate with Datev or anything like that. However my Steuerberater can log into my FreeAgent account and get all the book-keeping information he needs.

My best online accounting experience so far has been with Xero. Xero has pretty good bank and payroll feed integration, good customizable tracking classes, and it's geared towards the small business user. It ends up being a little pricier than buying a prior year desktop version of QuickBooks but it seems to be the best online package and they're actually pushing and working to make accounting easier vs. QuickBooks o…

Been using QBO the past two days for a client. One more pro for Xero vs. QBO is that Xero lets you open things in new tabs so you can have multiple reports open. QBO doesn't seem to let you do this and it's time consuming to keep re-running reports.
