Integral is a platform combined with managed services that provides bookkeeping (Buchhaltung), tax services (Steuern), payroll (Lohn) and annual financial statements (Jahresabschluss) for German small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups. The offering includes:
- A web-based platform (document repository, task/status tracking, integrations, collaboration)
- Service delivery via partner tax advisors and associated regulated entities, rather than positioning as purely self-service accounting software.
The vendor states that the product aims to reduce time spent on compliance by connecting banks/payment providers and tools, importing transactions/receipts, and coordinating work between the customer and tax/payroll specialists in a single system of record. These vendor statements should be treated as directional unless independently verified.
Key vendor claims/features reported in vendor messaging include:
- A single platform for accounting, payroll and taxes (vendor messaging)
- A stated rapid response time for tax questions (vendor claim on the homepage)
- Vendor claims of integrations with many German banks plus payment providers/tools
(These claims are vendor statements and are noted as such in this report; independent validation is required.)
**Official vendor messaging:** The vendor describes the product with phrases such as "Die Plattform für Buchhaltung, Steuern und Jahresabschluss" and "Buchhaltung, Lohn und Steuern … auf einer Plattform." These are company positioning statements rather than independent assessments.
