The simplest digital cash book for your cash register – shop, café, market stall, medical practice, tradesperson, or club. Record daily takings in compliance with German accounting principles (GoBD) in seconds, even without internet access.
CASH ONLY
Pennio manages your cash register exclusively. Intentionally omitted: card and debit card payments, bank account and online banking, invoicing, profit and loss statements, and a TSE-certified cash register for the sales counter. If you're looking for these features, we'd rather mention them now than after installation.
"I DON'T NEED A CASH BOOK AT ALL!"
Many self-employed individuals think this – referring to the cash book obligation, which only applies when you're required to keep accounts (from €800,000 in revenue or €80,000 in profit). Those who use the EÜR (profit and loss statement) method are not affected. However, you still need to record your cash receipts: each transaction individually, daily, and in a traceable manner (§ 22 UStG, § 146 AO). If they are missing or can be subsequently amended, the tax office is permitted to estimate (§ 162 AO). Pennio keeps precisely these records.
CASH BOOK IN SECONDS
Record income and expenses with just a few taps. Pennio automatically calculates your cash balance and generates the monthly closing report at the touch of a button.
QUICK ENTRY WITH TEMPLATES
Create templates for daily takings, purchases, or tips and enter them with a single tap – even offline.
MULTIPLE CASH BOXES
Maintain multiple cash books, such as for a shop till and a market stall. Each book has its own balance, receipt numbers, and monthly closing report.
SCAN RECEIPTS INSTEAD OF TYPING
Photograph receipts or select them from the gallery. The multi-page document scanner automatically recognizes and crops them.
RECEIPT ARCHIVE – ALL RECEIPTS IN ONE PLACE
Not just cash receipts: also incoming invoices, contracts, and bank statements, audit-proof. Pennio calculates the retention period and sends reminders before it expires. Included for Pennio customers.
GoBD-COMPLIANT AND TAX OFFICE-SAFE
Monthly financial statements are permanently recorded, and corrections are made exclusively via reversal entries – seamless and audit-proof. Excel spreadsheets and handwritten lists are generally not, as entries can be changed at any time without being noticed.
OFFLINE FIRST – WORKS ANYWHERE
All data is stored locally on your device; you don't need an internet connection to enter data. Optional: Cloud sync for backups and multiple devices.
DATEV EXPORT FOR TAX ADVISORS
As a DATEV document transfer package (batch entries and original documents), as a PDF, or as a ZIP file. Send the completed month directly to your tax advisor with a single tap.
WIDGETS AND BIOMETRICS
Cash balance and daily overview directly on the home screen, accessible via fingerprint.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Cash reconciliation and cash report, history with search function, warning for reversed transaction types, month-end closing reminder.
