What Billomat does

Billomat is a cloud-based SaaS accounting and invoicing platform targeted at German freelancers, Kleinunternehmer, and small-to-medium enterprises (Mittelstand). The product covers the full SMB receivables workflow: invoice creation with personalized templates and recurring schedules, automated multi-level dunning, bank transaction reconciliation, incoming invoice management, EÜR (income-expenditure statement) generation, and e-invoicing in XRechnung and ZUGFeRD formats compliant with the CEN EN 16931 standard required by the January 2025 German mandate. Underlying technology is a multi-tenant cloud SaaS hosted on German servers, with a documented REST/XML API (covering accounts, clients, invoices, recurrings, reminders, webhooks, and ~20 other entity types), a FinTec Systems banking integration reaching over 3,000 banks in Germany and Austria, and a DATEV-connect / Buchungsdatenservice interface for tax-advisor data exchange.

The business operates a product-led go-to-market motion: customers self-register at billomat.com, use a 14-day free trial (no credit card required), and convert to a tiered monthly subscription (Solo and Business plans), with banking features included free on Business. Add-on monetization includes the DATEV interface, Shopify integration for e-commerce, and embedded factoring (via parent aifinyo AG) plus a debt collection (Debitor-Inkasso) module. Distribution runs through direct online sales, tax-advisor referrals, and a partner/affiliate program, with content marketing (Magazin, Lexikon, Webinare, FAQ) as the primary demand generation engine.

Billomat is operated by aifinyo AG, a German public limited company (Aktiengesellschaft) registered in Berlin (HRB 246794 B, Amtsgericht Charlottenburg). Leadership of aifinyo comprises executive board members Stefan Kempf and Matthias Bommer, with Florian Renner as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

Emerging players

• BuchhaltungsButler: BuchhaltungsButler is a German cloud bookkeeping solution focused on SMBs working with tax advisors. It competes with Billomat on DATEV-based workflows and GoBD compliance but is positioned as a bookkeeper-led alternative.

Broad incumbents
