Harriet sorts your receipts into the right tax categories automatically and shows what is still missing — so your accountant can get to work right away.
Harriet is a tax software for Austrian freelancers and one-person businesses (EPUs). It classifies receipts automatically, forecasts income tax and SVS contributions live, and surfaces tax-saving opportunities with a concrete EUR amount and the matching paragraph in Austrian tax law.
Built for the Austrian Einnahmen-Ausgaben-Rechnung (cash-basis bookkeeping)
A shoebox of receipts, missing SVS confirmations, emails to your accountant saying "I'll dig that one up." You know it should be smoother than this.
Follow-ups for missing receipts, unclear categories, double work. Your accountant needs structured documents — what they get is a binder of chaos.
Funktionen
Harriet calculates your projected income tax (ESt) and SVS contributions in real time, based on your actual revenue and expenses.
No retyping receipts. Harriet pulls transactions via bank sync, reads forwarded invoice emails and recognises receipts from your phone photos — then shows what is still missing.
Harriet finds where you can save tax automatically: profit allowance, investment allowance, straight-line vs. declining depreciation. With a concrete EUR amount and the relevant § in the law.
Your financial data deserves the highest level of protection.
All data encrypted and stored in the EU. No data passed to third parties.
Knows every Austrian tax category, SVS requirement and Finanzamt form by heart.
AES-256 encryption for every financial record. CSV import option — no direct bank link required.
User Feedback
An hour a month on tax admin saves you about €1,000 a year in time, plus less anxiety about small errors that turn into questions from the Finanzamt later.
Other tools never gave me confidence that my filing was actually right. The doubt always lingered. Seeing where I stand throughout the year solves exactly that.
The fact that the software watches over you and surfaces savings I never would have found myself — flat-rate options, profit allowance — that can easily be worth €2,000 a year.

Common questions
Freelancers, one-person businesses (EPU) and small businesses in Austria on cash-basis bookkeeping (Einnahmen-Ausgaben-Rechnung — not full balance-sheet accounting). Typical revenue: €30k–200k, sole traders without their own payroll. Harriet knows the Austrian tax categories, SVS requirements and tax forms in detail.
Harriet handles the day-to-day work: collecting receipts, classifying them, calculating tax in real time, surfacing savings, preparing the E1a tax form. If you have an accountant, everything reaches them review-ready and the back-and-forth disappears. If you don't want one, Harriet can fully prepare your E/A bookkeeping — final filing then runs through a partner-firm review.
Multiple channels: bank sync via PSD2 pulls transactions straight from your account, you can forward invoice emails, snap receipts on your phone, or sync via the FinanzOnline DataBox. Goal: 80%+ of your data without a single manual upload.
Harriet uses a six-stage system (MCC code → vendor profile → EKR chart of accounts → keywords → AI → fallback) with a confidence score. High confidence = auto-categorised, otherwise you get a suggestion to confirm. A1 Telekom → telecoms, SVS → social security, etc.
Eight optimisation rules run continuously: profit allowance, investment allowance (incl. eco rate 15%), straight-line vs. declining depreciation, lump-sum options, business meals, home office, cash timing, low-value asset threshold. Every finding comes with a concrete EUR amount and the exact § in the law.
