Independent financial services

DATAC has been around since the birth of the personal computer. Since then, DATAC software for financial accounting and payroll accounting has developed into one of the most innovative and powerful programs on the market.

The German accountancy company has been on the market since 1981 and is also one of the largest and most successful franchise chain of independent accounting offices in Western Europe. The company now helps service over 30,000 clients each month. Due to their unique selling point on the bookkeeping market with the “DATAC24 module,” the company was named German "Franchisor of the Year" in 2007, and more recently in 2018, they won the Constantinius Award (Austria's major consulting, accounting and IT prize).

At the core of the company’s profitable operations is their unique software. The German accountancy company was the first manufacturer to integrate digital document archiving as an in-house development and into commercial programs - as early as the year 2000. It's clear that DATAC's competitive advantage is the DATAC24 software - which has working time savings of over 50%.

From their initial training, ongoing and further education, right through to successful client acquisition, franchisee’s will be in the very capable and experienced hands of DATAC to build up a productive company for yourself. 

For many small to medium-size companies, hiring an accountant can be rather expensive. With DATAC24 system, the DATAC accounting office offers a highly efficient working tool for every company. Although bookkeeping or payroll accounting is done in separate locations, you can work with current figures, remind open items on a daily basis and make payments at the push of a button. DATAC24 offers mid-sized companies an inexpensive way into the big world of digital archiving. DATAC24 is not a cloud system, but as secure as your company computer, with the added plus that there are no storage space costs.

DATAC franchisee, Mr Adolf Aldinger, said that DATAC and its products have proved to him for over 10 years that they are a strong and competent partner.

“In particular, the digital archiving of documents and the ability to quickly find individual documents have often served me well,” said Aldinger.

“DATAC24 has proven to be an ideal tool for the exchange of documents between the accounting office and the client, and not only in times of Corona. With DATAC24 I can look after clients throughout Germany,” he said.

When it comes to franchising you will be an independent entrepreneur – however, you will gain all the advantages under the umbrella of a successful international group. The company are still open to new franchise partners in regions across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
