03Research

Stotax — the Stollfuß software line — is the option a German Steuerberater considers when the decisive question is "do I want a cloud-native product or a hosted legacy one." Stotax Select is designed as a web application from the ground up, without terminal servers or dedicated client infrastructure, which is a meaningful architectural differentiator against DATEV, ADDISON, and Agenda, all of which remain more comfortable in hosted or hybrid-desktop configurations.

The product's positioning is "intelligent complete solution": GoBD-compliant accounting, AI-assisted booking and recurring-task automation, integrated Steuerberechnung, and Kanzleiorganisation. For a practice that is digital-first, runs remotely, or expects to staff a distributed team, Stotax's cloud architecture is a live advantage, and the 2025 ELSTER and e-invoicing integrations are current. Traction is below DATEV and Agenda in absolute installed base, but adoption among newer practices and smaller digital-first Kanzleien is rising.

The editorial call on Stotax is that architecture matters: as the 2025–2028 e-invoicing mandate forces every German firm to reshape its data pipeline, the cloud-native vendors are structurally better-positioned than the desktop-to-cloud migrations. Whether that translates into market share against DATEV is a different question.
