Was bei dieser Entscheidung zaehlt

Accounting software must produce trustworthy books first; convenience features matter only after reconciliation, controls, and local requirements work.

For Tax Consultant teams, the shortlist gives more weight to operational fit, adoption, integration risk, and total cost than to raw feature count.
