About the technology

Lexware in practice

Lexware is a German business software ecosystem for accounting, invoicing, payroll, financial planning and commercial administration. It supports small and medium-sized companies that need structured finance processes without building a full enterprise system. Common solutions include Lexware Office, formerly known as lexoffice, as well as desktop products for accounting and payroll.

Core business processes

Lexware helps companies record transactions, issue invoices, manage customers and prepare financial data for external tax professionals. Depending on the product, it also supports payroll workflows, payment preparation, recurring documents and reporting. Strong configuration keeps daily work consistent and reduces manual transfers between sales, finance and administration.

  • Configure accounting and invoicing workflows
  • Set up payroll and employee processes
  • Prepare exports for tax and financial review
  • Organize recurring payments and documents

Products and connections

The ecosystem covers cloud-based Lexware Office and established applications such as Lexware financial office, Lexware buchhaltung and Lexware lohn+gehalt. Projects may include user roles, document templates, imports, exports and links to banking, tax or customer systems. Specialists should understand both the selected product and the surrounding process landscape.

When specialists help

Companies often bring in freelance Lexware professionals during a new implementation, a product change or a finance process redesign. Support is also useful when internal teams face reporting backlogs, inconsistent master data or unclear handoffs to tax offices. In Germany, collaboration may involve German-language documentation and coordination with local accounting partners, while remote delivery remains practical for configuration and process work.

Choosing the right professional

A strong specialist combines product knowledge with sound accounting or payroll process understanding. Look for clear documentation, careful handling of permissions and data, and the ability to explain decisions to non-technical users. Relevant experience with Lexware Office, desktop products, interfaces and German business workflows should match the project rather than appear as a generic checklist.

Quality and delivery

Good Lexware work starts with a defined scope, clean source data and agreed responsibilities. The professional should test representative transactions, validate reports and document settings before handover. For remote projects, regular screen-sharing sessions and written process notes create transparency; on-site collaboration can help when several teams need coordinated training or process changes.

Frequently asked questions

Curious about Lexware? Here are the answers that come up again and again.

Lexware is used for invoicing, accounting, payroll, financial administration and related commercial processes. The exact scope depends on whether a company uses Lexware Office or a desktop solution such as Lexware financial office.

Lexware Office focuses on accessible cloud-based finance workflows for smaller businesses and growing teams. Compared with broader enterprise suites, it usually offers a narrower but more manageable scope, while alternatives may provide deeper customization or wider international functionality.

A strong Lexware specialist should understand bookkeeping processes, payroll basics where relevant, data imports, document workflows and user permissions. Knowledge of banking connections, tax-office handoffs and integrations with customer or commerce systems can also be important.

The required experience depends on the work, not on a fixed number of years. A straightforward configuration may need focused product expertise, while a migration, payroll redesign or multi-system integration calls for a professional who can map processes, test data and manage stakeholder decisions.

Lexware projects can often be delivered remotely because configuration, testing, documentation and user support work well through secure screen-sharing and collaboration tools. On-site sessions may still help with workshops, training or complex handovers, and German-language communication can matter when coordinating with local finance teams.

Lexware Office can suit companies that value browser-based access, shared workflows and flexible collaboration. Desktop products may be preferable when an established local installation, specific payroll functions or existing internal routines are central to the operation.

Ask the Lexware professional to explain how they would review source data, configure permissions, test transactions and validate reports. Strong answers are specific, document risks clearly and show how the final setup will be handed over to the people who use it.

lexoffice is the former name commonly associated with Lexware Office, so both terms may appear in project briefs or freelancer profiles. Other relevant product names include Lexware buchhaltung, Lexware lohn+gehalt and Lexware financial office.

The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Lexware in their recent projects is 102 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 813 € based on an 8-hour working day.
