Office and finance software for businesses, the self-employed and home offices
In the Office & Finance category, you will find software licences that cover day-to-day commercial and organisational tasks. These include programmes for word processing, spreadsheets, email and scheduling, as well as applications for bookkeeping, invoicing, stock management, payroll and tax returns.
The range is divided into two sections: Office software comprises the classic workplace applications for documents, communication and planning. Under Finance Software & Taxes, you’ll find solutions for bookkeeping, invoicing and tax-related matters, predominantly from Lexware.
These programmes are used by the self-employed and freelancers, as well as by small and medium-sized enterprises, associations, public bodies and home-based workers. All licences are available digitally from LizenzDeals24, meaning the software can be installed and activated immediately after purchase.
Office software: applications for day-to-day workflows
Many workplaces do not require a full Office suite, but only individual applications. This is precisely what single licences are designed for: you licence only the programmes you actually use, and do not pay for functions that remain unused in day-to-day work.
Word, Excel and PowerPoint as individual licences
Microsoft Word is the standard for text documents, contracts, quotations and mail merges – available, amongst others, as Word 2024 and Word 2021 perpetual licences for Windows. Microsoft Excel covers spreadsheets, calculations, evaluations and data analysis; the current version is Excel 2024. With PowerPoint 2024, you can create presentations for client meetings, training sessions or internal meetings.
Outlook, OneNote, Access and Publisher
Microsoft Outlook brings together emails, calendars, contacts and tasks in one place and is widely used in business environments – as Outlook 2024 or Outlook 2021. OneNote 2024 serves as a digital notebook for minutes, research findings and project notes. Microsoft Access is used to build smaller databases, for example for customer, product or stock management (Access 2024, Access 2021). Publisher 2021 is suitable for layout tasks such as leaflets, brochures or invitations.
Project and Visio for planning and process mapping
Microsoft Project supports project planning, deadlines, resources and budgets. The Standard edition covers traditional planning, whilst the Professional edition offers additional features for collaboration within larger project teams. The 2019, 2021 and 2024 versions are available.
Microsoft Visio is used for diagrams, organisation charts, network plans and process documentation – a typical tool in IT departments, quality management and process consultancy. Here too, Visio Standard and Visio Professional are available in several versions.
Financial software & tax: bookkeeping, invoices and tax returns
Business software must be tailored to the company: a sole trader using an invoice-based accounting system has different requirements to a retail business with a warehouse, staff and a statutory requirement to prepare a balance sheet. Lexware’s financial software is therefore available in several different versions.
Accounting and comprehensive business solution
Lexware Bookkeeping 2026 is designed for day-to-day financial accounting: recording transactions, maintaining accounts, submitting advance VAT returns and generating reports. Lexware Financial Office 2026 goes significantly further, combining bookkeeping, inventory management and payroll in a single package – ideal when several business areas need to operate on a single database.
Quotations, invoices and order management
Lexware Faktura+Auftrag 2026 supports the sales process from the quotation stage through to order confirmation, invoice preparation and dunning. For those who wish to work from anywhere, Lexware Office XL offers a cloud-based solution with 365 days’ access, which can be used from the office, your home office or whilst on the move. As requirements such as GoBD-compliant records and e-invoices vary from business to business, it is worth taking a look at the feature set of the respective edition before purchasing.
Tax returns with TAXMAN Professional
Lexware TAXMAN PROFESSIONAL 2026 is aimed at the self-employed, businesses and professionals in advisory roles who wish to process multiple tax returns in a structured manner. The software guides users through the relevant forms and supports electronic submission to the tax office.
Perpetual licence, subscription or cloud – which model is right for you?
Office and finance software is available under various licensing models. The decision depends less on the price of an individual licence than on how long you wish to use a particular version and whether you require ongoing updates.
For workstations with consistent requirements, a perpetual licence is usually the more cost-effective choice. Tax-related programmes, such as bookkeeping or tax return software, on the other hand, are released in a new version every year because forms and legal requirements change. Anyone looking for a complete suite rather than individual programmes will find what they’re looking for in the Microsoft Office category.

Using office and financial software on a Mac
Many business programmes available on the German market – including Lexware’s desktop products – are developed for Windows. With Parallels Desktop Standard Edition, you can set up a Windows environment on a Mac in which these applications run. The Pro Edition is designed for more demanding workflows with higher resource requirements. This ensures that mixed IT environments comprising both Mac and Windows workstations remain operational without the need for a second computer.
Which solution suits which need?
The following overview provides an initial guide to which programmes are typically suitable for which situations:
- Self-employed and freelancers: an invoicing programme such as faktura+auftrag or the cloud-based accounting software Lexware Office XL, supplemented by Word, Excel and Outlook as single licences.
- Small businesses with stock management and HR: a comprehensive solution such as Lexware Financial Office, which handles accounts, orders and payroll in a single system.
- Project-based teams: Microsoft Project for scheduling and resource planning, Visio for processes and organisation charts.
- Individual workstations with a clear role profile: targeted individual licences for office software rather than a full Office suite.
- Mac workstations in Windows environments: Parallels Desktop as a bridge to Windows applications.
- Development teams: Visual Studio Professional or Visual Studio Enterprise for software projects.
- Multiple workstations within the organisation: volume licences such as Microsoft Open Value with Software Assurance over a multi-year term, for example Office Standard as an Open Value licence.
