Contour elbe entrance. For whom is the Kontur.Elba service suitable - program overview

For many entrepreneurs and small companies, accounting is a sore point. Especially at the start, when there are no extra funds. Keeping an accountant on staff is expensive in terms of salary, not to mention social package and workplace equipment (necessary software, office supplies, folders, paper, etc.). Moreover, in very small companies there is not much work and it is mostly seasonal. The peak occurs before reporting. And this is several times a year.

Outsourcing, of course, turns out to be more profitable. However, other difficulties arise here. Employees of third-party companies are not interested in reducing the entrepreneur’s expenses for taxes and other deductions; they simply do their job - prepare documents, certificates, and notify about deadlines for submitting reports. And no more. In fact, outsourcing companies are not responsible for reports not submitted on time or other misunderstandings with the tax authorities and funds. The maximum that can be demanded from them is a penalty according to the contract. But the amount of fines and penalties accrued to the entrepreneur will still be on the conscience of the businessman. And you need to pay for the provision of services in any case.

There is a third option - to use specialized online accounting services. They have one huge advantage - they will cost much less than a full-time accountant or outsourcing. But there is also a significant drawback, but it applies to all cloud services in principle - the data is located in remote storage. And you need to choose reliable companies that care about information security and support and develop their product.

One of these services is “Contour Elbe”. A product of the SKB Kontur company, which has been operating since 1988. She is developing software, simplifying document flow for enterprises. One of the main competitors of the online service is the cloud platform "". In fact, there are many analogues. But not everyone can be trusted.

Individual entrepreneurs, company directors, and accountants can use “Kontur.Accounting”. The developers in their software tried to take into account the needs of small businesses and create a multifaceted service. It is understandable for beginners in accounting and convenient for experienced specialists.

The main advantages of working with the service for all categories of users:

• preparation of documents using templates;
• reminders to submit reports;
• any forms of taxation (OSNO, simplified tax system, UTII, patent);
• access from anywhere in the world.

The tariffs are quite flexible and you can choose one that is ideal for your company. main criteria: number of employees, mandatory reports, consultations, possibility of generating other documents.

How to start using it?

Only registered and authorized users can use the service. The connection takes place via the Internet. You can try a free trial period. It lasts 30 days from the date of registration. However, to gain access to all features and continue accounting for a longer period, you need to make a payment. If there is a promotional code, the cost will be lower. The activation code is sent by mail.

To get 3 months of free service, enter the promotional code when registering:

32774642

For initial registration, you only need an email address and password. But then you will need to enter data about the company/individual entrepreneur into the system, as well as customize it for yourself. Create counterparties, products, etc. Login to the system is carried out through the official website. There is no need to install anything additional.

Product of the company "Kontur" for a director or individual entrepreneur

The program allows you to do your own reporting and control the work of an accountant. Everything is done through authorization in the company profile, and the data is available from anywhere in the world where there is Internet. After authorization, you can see all the information (statuses of accounts, counterparties, etc.).

For the director of a small company and individual entrepreneur, the following advantages can be distinguished:

• no one-time payment of a large amount is required as when installing stationary accounting programs (for example, 1C);
• maximum user convenience in the reporting system;
• all data for analytics is at hand;
• saving time on routine operations.

When using desktop programs that require installation on the user's computer, various difficulties may arise. And this is not just about the price of the product. For example, there are certain system requirements for specific software, and it may be necessary to upgrade the computer before installing the hardware on it, which will significantly increase the cost of integration. This is one moment.

Secondly, everything may fit the requirements, and errors during downloading, installation and unpacking are also possible. Again, costs to fix.

Third, you need to configure the program correctly so that it performs its functions.

And this can result in:

• a lot of wasted time trying to figure out the software on your own;
• lack of necessary modules in the purchased version, the need to pay for them separately;
• programmer services for editing and configuration;
• errors in work, which also cost money.

Moreover, you can only work in the program from the computer on which it is installed. In some cases this is extremely inconvenient. For example, if you need to constantly be up to date and see everything online. Or an entrepreneur is constantly on the move (this is the industry), and order in documents and accounting needs to be constantly maintained. And the cloud service will allow you to work remotely. In the “My Page” section you need to enter user data (phone, email, etc.).

IN personal account“Elbe Contour” reflects the minimum settings. There are only the options you need. This is both a plus and a minus. The disadvantage is that there is no way to customize the system to suit you. The way everything is organized inside is how it will work. And the advantage is that many people don’t need to configure everything flexibly! The main thing is that it works in principle. Cloud services have minimal settings, but they are much more convenient for beginners in accounting to use. You can figure it out and organize the work completely in a few hours. And everything is done independently, without the involvement of specialized specialists. At most, you will have to use information materials, watch video instructions, and contact support. But all this is free and in an understandable form.

It is important to understand that you can work in parallel in a cloud service and in a desktop program. Typically, it is possible to exchange data in popular file formats (for example, .csv). You can download information from 1C into Elbe Contour.

The product allows you to analyze data, collect graphs, compare periods and obtain other important and useful information for business. And do it all quickly and manage it from your personal account. There is no need to export tables to collect information from them into visual graphs. The service is easy to use and will do everything itself. Of course, there are some templates for analytics.

By the way, about templates. They are very useful because they can significantly reduce the time for some operations. For example, drawing up contracts, issuing powers of attorney, sending acts and invoices. Everything is ready, you just need to tweak some things for specific companies. In addition, you can design everything in your corporate style. Props will allow this.

Additionally, you can activate the “Counterparty Verification” service, which allows you to identify unreliable companies and immediately see all the details of a potential partner. The purpose of the verification function allows you to reduce the risk of an entrepreneur being thrown out.

"Kontur.Accounting" for an accountant

If there is only one accountant in the company, then the cloud service will also be useful to him. But at more or less large enterprises where there is an accounting department, it is unlikely to be used. At least for an ordinary accountant managing one site, for sure. However, if there is only one employee involved in accounting, then the service will be useful to him. It has a notification feature and also many useful information. It is impossible to miss the deadline for submitting an important report. To ensure that documents are accepted immediately, templates for filling them out have been created.

The service allows you to:

• keep accounts;
• calculate salaries;
• submit reports.

By the way, the company constantly posts educational materials, detailed articles on accounting and conducts seminars for accountants. Everything changes in legislation, forms are updated, new reports appear, existing ones are abolished. And it is important to be aware of all changes.

Conclusions

The service is useful for those who do not want to get bogged down in routine and make bookkeeping as convenient as possible. It is aimed at individual entrepreneurs and LLCs. And this is predominantly small companies. He has his own “tricks” for both the director and the accountant. Judging by user reviews, it’s worth at least trying, many recommend it.

Online cash register

SKB Kontur offers various services to those involved in retail trade. Such clients have access to the services of Kontur’s own OFD, the Kontur.Market commodity accounting system and online cash registers that meet the requirements of Federal Law-54. Kontur cooperates with a major supplier of cash register equipment ATOL.

Unlike other companies, Kontur does not have ready-made cash solutions. You can assemble a convenient cash register yourself to suit your needs.

Kontur.Market packages:

Reconciliation reports

In order to agree on mutual settlements based on the results of a particular period, as well as to check the presence or absence of debts, counterparties draw up a reconciliation report. This is a document that displays data on all contracts or agreements concluded between organizations for a specified period. Drawing up a reconciliation report will help identify outstanding debt and agree on its repayment.

The reconciliation report is drawn up in two copies - one for each counterparty. In order for a document to receive legal force, it must be certified by the signature of a manager or accountant who has a power of attorney, as well as the company’s seal.

To generate a reconciliation report using Elbe, go to the “Counterparties” section, select the desired organization and select “Create a new” - “Period for reconciliation”. The system will automatically generate a document using information from the “Documents” and “Money” sections. You can immediately print the finished act or send it to the counterparty at electronic form for prior approval.

Verification of counterparties

Before concluding a transaction with a counterparty, it is necessary to assess its reliability. Cooperation with an unreliable company can lead to violations in fulfilling the terms of the transaction, loss of time, money, and in some cases, reputation. You can find out more about the counterparty using the express check service built into Elba.

Using the accounting system, you can request information about the organization from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs or the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. This way you will find out how long the company has existed, where and how it was registered, what types of activities it is engaged in, whether reorganization, liquidation or bankruptcy procedures have been carried out. Usually this information is enough to assess the reliability of the counterparty. To use the function, go to the “Counterparties” section, select the desired organization and click the “Check counterparty” button.

The counterparty verification service is available on Business and Premium tariffs and is included in the price.

For a deeper check of counterparties, Kontur has a separate service - Kontur.Focus. Using it, you can not only study information about the company in all official databases, but also select counterparties according to specified criteria. The cost of a one-time audit of a company using Focus is 1,300 rubles.

Integration with banks

If you have a current account with a partner bank - Tochka, Tinkoff, Alfa-Bank or Modulbank - you can link it to this accounting system. Then the accounting department will automatically process all transactions on the account and keep reports on them. Integration is not available to clients of other banks - they can download a statement in 1C format from the client bank and add it to Elba.

To set up integration, go to the “Details” - “Bank Accounts” section, select or add the desired account and click the “I want to integrate” button. Follow the instructions to set up the integration. Elba will begin interacting with the account within one to two days. You can add an account statement from another bank in the “Money” section - click the “Upload file from bank” button and select required document(usually it is saved in .txt format).

Modulbank clients can send payment orders directly from Elbe, without logging into the Internet bank. She will send the generated document to the online bank and make the payment. You can confirm the operation with an SMS password.

Electronic signature

To send reports to the Federal Tax Service and other authorities electronically, you will need a qualified electronic signature. If you don't have it yet, you can order it to be released in Elba. The signature is issued free of charge - its cost is already included in the tariff.

Until 2013, the issuance and use of electronic signatures was regulated by federal law No. 1-FZ “On electronic digital signature”. Now, instead of it, Law No. 63-FZ “On Electronic Signature” is in force. It uses the term "qualified electronic signature" (QES) instead of the old "electronic digital signature"(EDS). The difference between these terms is only in a few technical and legal nuances.

The procedure for issuing an electronic signature is as follows:

• Go to the "Reporting" section and select the "Release" task electronic signature»
• Select the certification authority where you want to obtain a signature
• Fill out an application for issuing a CEP in your personal account on the website of the certification center
• Print and sign the application
• Upload scans of the signed application, passport and SNILS. The CA you choose may also require other documents.
• Wait for your application to be reviewed - you will be notified of the results by phone or SMS
• Sign the agreement at the certification center in person or through a representative (a power of attorney is required)

After this, you will receive a CEP certificate, which will be valid for a year. After this period, the CA will replace it free of charge. The signature itself is stored in the cloud, without physical media - you can use it at any time and from any device.

Please note that in Elbe you can only use its internal ECP - other signatures are not suitable for it.

Declaration according to the simplified tax system

A tax return under the simplified taxation system is submitted every year by April 30. Both individual entrepreneurs and legal entities are required to take it. Using this system, you can calculate the tax payable for the billing period, prepare a declaration and send it to the tax office.

To generate a declaration, select the desired task in the “Reporting” section. Provide information about your income - to do this you need to upload a bank account statement. Elba will automatically calculate the amount of tax and other mandatory contributions. After paying these payments, the service will help you prepare a declaration and a book of income and expenses. The finished document can be sent to tax office in person, by mail or online (if you have an electronic signature).

Zero reporting

Even if an individual entrepreneur using the simplified taxation system did not have income and expenses for the reporting period, he is still required to report to tax service(always) and funds (if there are employees). To do this, you need to prepare and submit zero reporting. Entrepreneurs using other forms of taxation, as well as legal entities, cannot submit it.

For those who submit zero reporting, there is separate tariff- Zero. It only includes preparing and sending reports to the Federal Tax Service - all other functions are disabled. Connection and maintenance are free. You can switch to or from it at any time.

Help 2 personal income tax

2-NDFL certificates are necessary for reporting on income tax withheld and paid from the salaries of your employees. Employees may also request such certificates to confirm income. Both individual entrepreneurs and legal entities must generate 2-NDFL certificates and report on wages paid.

To generate a 2-NDFL certificate, go to the “Employees” section, select the desired employee and click the “Print 2-NDFL certificate” button. Select the period for which you want to generate a certificate and click the “Generate” button. Elba will automatically calculate the tax and prepare the document. The completed certificate can be printed or, if there is an electronic signature, sent electronically.

Generating and sending reports in form 2-NDFL is available only on Premium.

Vacation pay calculation

Elba does not yet have its own service for calculating vacation pay. But you can use the free calculator provided by Kontur.Accounting. The procedure for calculating vacation pay is as follows:

• Specify the start and end dates of the vacation, select its type (main, additional or educational). The calculator will set the billing period for which vacation pay will be accrued. Click "Next" button
• If there are periods that need to be excluded from the calculation (for example, sick leave, business trips or other vacations) - check the box “There are exclusion periods” and indicate the required dates
• If the salary was increased during the billing period, check the box “During the billing period there was a salary increase in the organization or division” and indicate the date and amount of the increase
• Fill in the table with the amount of accruals during the billing period, taking into account taxes. Sick leave, vacation pay, benefits and some other accruals do not need to be indicated. Click "Next" button

The service will automatically calculate the amount of vacation pay and the amount of personal income tax payable
