Behind successful tax consultants and auditing firms there are often partners who provide optimal support both technically and in terms of content. One such companion is GetMyInvoices Consulting Partner divacon . The company has been active for 16 years and relies on the strongest offers on the market for its advice. The goal: to position law firms to be successful and future-proof. To this end, divacon GmbH is systematically pushing forward digitalization.
Corona crisis acts as a catalyst
“Now in the Corona pandemic it is clear where the weaknesses lie,” says Dennis Nowak, Managing Director of divacon. On the one hand, the pendulum folder through which clients and tax advisors traditionally exchange documents is reaching its limits. Because the employees in law firms and companies are almost exclusively working from home. On the other hand, clients are demanding more practical solutions. Dennis Nowak reveals: “That’s why many tax advisors now want to actively put the topic of digitalization on their agenda.”
Since almost all tax consultants work with DATEV products, divacon, as a system and solution partner of the software house, sees “DATEV Unternehmens online” as the solution of choice. With the marketplace, it offers an extensive ecosystem of tools that open up a lot of potential for efficient work. GetMyInvoices is an excellent additional product that law firms can use to advance their digitalization. divacon itself has been using the invoice management software for more than two years.
Offer based on conviction
“Since we also have missing documents at the end of the year - in particular Amazon invoices – “We were looking for a solution to better integrate these documents into the accounting,” explains Dennis Nowak and enthuses: “This works great with GetMyInvoices.” In addition, the experts had a wow experience when they were online -Portals for automatic document import suggested: This integrated GetMyInvoices within a week. “That was the initial spark to strive for cooperation,” said the managing director.
The solution is a great addition to divacon’s offering because the company only looks for the strongest partners. GetMyInvoices has such a market position. This is based on high-performance functions such as automatic retrieval of invoices from more than 10,000 online portals and email import. In addition, the collaboration is very pleasant and, last but not least, the team brings both innovative strength and willingness to advance its customers.
The divacon managing director cites the recently launched one as an example Banking module and the work on the workflow feature and emphasizes: “I think functions for workflow and calculation management – possibly also in combination with the mobile app – are useful in order to reach those clients who have higher demands on legal checks.” This is what they offer The law firm partners are convinced that they can provide their customers with added value by introducing them to GetMyInvoices.
Development cannot be waited out
Despite the increasing insight of many tax advisors and auditors into the necessity of digitalization, the partners still have to do a lot of educational work. But the divacon boss is confident. “We regularly offer events in collaboration with DATEV, from which participants can take a lot with them.” In this way, they also manage to convince tax advisors who believe that they can continue to run their law firms largely analogously for the few years until they retire. Because: “Development cannot be waited out. The level of digitization of a law firm, its systems and its clients also affect the valuation.” This is of crucial importance if a succession solution or a sale is sought. Hardly any interested party wants a law firm that they would first have to digitize from the ground up. The situation is similar with the skilled workers who are highly sought after in this area. They want to work in companies that offer them flexible and modern work opportunities. And this is what digitalization opens up for them. Therefore, the degree of digitalization ultimately determines future viability.
