How it works

Send a document, get it posted

Three ways to get receipts and invoices into Kontevia, one place where they end up: posted, categorised and ready for VAT and your accountant.

Rules for all 27 EU countries: VAT rates, filing deadlines and the chart of accounts come from our country data, not from a template.

Three ways in

Use whichever is closest to hand. All three end up in the same ledger.

WhatsApp

Take a photo of the receipt and send it to your Kontevia number. You get a confirmation with the amount, supplier and category within seconds.

E-mail inbox

Every company gets its own inbox address. Forward supplier invoices or set it as the billing e-mail with your suppliers, and the PDFs are posted on arrival.

Dashboard upload

Drag PDFs, photos or multi-page scans into the browser. Good for month-end batches and for the accountant who prefers a screen to a phone.

Step by step

From first message to a finished month

  1. 1

    Connect a channel

    Register, pick your country and save your Kontevia WhatsApp number or inbox address. Two minutes, no installation.

  2. 2

    Send the document

    Photo, PDF or a short text such as “fuel at Shell, €45”. Kontevia reads the amount, date, supplier, VAT and currency.

  3. 3

    Check the posting

    The document is categorised and posted under the rules of your country. Anything uncertain is flagged for you to confirm with one tap.

    Supplier: Shell
    Category: Fuel
    Amount: €45
  4. 4

    Close the month

    A VAT summary and an export for your accountant or accounting software are ready when the month ends.

Works on every device

In the office on a desktop, at home on a tablet, on the road on a phone.

On the road

“After filling up I send the receipt from my phone. Five seconds later it is categorised and I can forget about it.”
