About Manel
I specialize in accounting and finance administration for German-market companies. With 2+ years supporting German GmbHs remotely, I bring hands-on expertise in Lexware, DATEV Unternehmen Online, SevDesk, and Zoho Books. I handle the full bookkeeping cycle: invoice categorization, VAT (19%, 7%, Reverse Charge), bank reconciliation, payroll preparation, and monthly documentation for your Steuerberater. I know German accounting workflows deeply — SKR03/SKR04, GoBD-compliant filing, Betriebsnummer registration.
If you're an international founder running a German entity, I remove the language barrier without compromising on compliance. Available for ongoing monthly retainers or project-based work.
