How to choose accounting software
Country rules. Lexware is a German manufacturer, so its programs are generally built around German accounting and tax rules. If you keep your books under Lithuanian requirements, such as VAT and i.SAF reporting, check before buying whether the program supports them.
Type and size of business. A sole trader can often manage with a simpler program that records income and expenses. A company that issues many invoices and employs several people will need a fuller package with double-entry bookkeeping and reports. Our range spans entry-level to professional solutions, so you can match the software to your actual workload.
Modules you need. Invoicing, bookkeeping, payroll and stock management are often separate programs or separate modules. Decide what you need today, then check whether other functions can be added later.
Licence and updates. Tax rules change every year, so find out how long updates are included and how many users the licence allows. An older version may lack the latest forms and calculation rules.
System requirements and language. Check which Windows version the program supports and whether it works over a network if several people will use it. The interface of software from German manufacturers is usually in German, so make sure you will be comfortable working in it.

Frequently asked questions about accounting software
Is Lexware accounting software suitable for a Lithuanian company?
Not always. Lexware programs are designed first of all for the German market and its tax rules. If you need Lithuanian VAT returns or i.SAF files, first find out whether the program produces them, or ask your accountant.
Which accounting software should a sole trader choose?
A simpler program that issues invoices and records income and expenses is usually enough. Double-entry bookkeeping, multi-user access and a stock module tend to matter only as the business grows. It is sensible to pick a package that can be extended later.
Can accounting software calculate salaries?
Yes, but usually through a separate payroll module or a separate program. Payroll depends on a country's tax and social insurance rules, so check which country the program supports before you buy.
What is the difference between accounting software and invoicing software?
Invoicing software is meant for creating documents and sending them to customers. Accounting software also records income, expenses and VAT, and builds financial reports from them. Small businesses sometimes start with the former and move to full accounting as they grow.
