BILLEVO is a local desktop invoicing application for Windows, published by Kristian Kiel and currently available in version 3.7.4 as the sole listed release. The software is aimed at self-employed professionals, freelancers, and small businesses in Germany, and it falls into the accounting and invoicing category. Its core purpose is to handle everyday billing tasks locally on the user's own device, without requiring a cloud subscription. BILLEVO supports electronic invoicing according to the ZUGFeRD, Factur-X, and XRechnung standards, with the original XML remaining visible at all times. Users can create invoices, quotations, delivery notes, recurring invoices, and collective invoices, and manage customers, articles with simple stock tracking, expenses and incoming invoices, and time recording. For cooperation with tax advisors, the program offers a DATEV export supporting the SKR03 and SKR04 chart-of-accounts frameworks, enabling a clean handover of booking data. The software is GoBD-oriented, suitable for small businesses under the German §19 small-entrepreneur regulation, and includes IBAN validation and dunning functionality for payment reminders. A defining characteristic is its local-first approach: all data remains on the user's device, and there is no obligation to use cloud services. The licensing model is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription; the software can be tested free of charge for 30 days and is then activated with a license key obtained from billevo.de, with no ongoing fees. Typical use cases include freelancers issuing compliant e-invoices, small companies tracking stock and expenses alongside customer billing, recording billable time, and preparing accounting data for submission to a German tax advisor. With version 3.7.4 as the current release, BILLEVO positions itself as a cost-transparent, offline-capable alternative to subscription-based invoicing services for the German market.
