What’s the difference between Xolo and other providers?


Xolo is the most comprehensible solution for your sole proprietorship (Einzelunternehmen) business: we cover your needs from registration to reporting (and everything in between).

Xolo

  • All-in-one solution: an online platform combined with the best-in-class human support
  • Affordable fixed subscription
  • English-speaking local accountants
  • Built-in VAT tools for local and international clients

Other providers

  • Tools and services often scattered across multiple providers
  • Hourly or per-report pricing can lead to surprises
  • Finding reliable English-speaking support is challenging
  • Often no invoicing tool included so you’d have to manage your invoices in tools that are not optimized for that
