Client Portal vs DATEV Meine Steuern

DATEV is the standard – but the client portal is complex and not user-friendly. A custom portal delights your clients.

Why a custom solution is better

Clients love it

DATEV portals are functional but not user-friendly. A modern portal increases client satisfaction and reduces support inquiries.

Custom branding

Your firm, your portal, your design – instead of the standard DATEV look, which feels uninviting to clients.

Firm website included

Nopex builds portal and firm website as one. With DATEV, you need a separate provider for that.

Flexibly extensible

Custom workflows, checklists, FAQ sections for clients – all possible without waiting for DATEV updates.

Conclusion

Our Conclusion

DATEV remains indispensable for accounting. But the client portal doesn't have to be DATEV. A custom portal with Nopex offers the better client experience. Tip: Nopex as frontend, DATEV in the background for export.
