sevDesk GmbH is a German software company based in Offenburg. It develops online invoicing and accounting software for self-employed people and small businesses. The company was founded in 2013 and acquired by the French software company Cegid in 2025.
Fabian Silberer and Marco Reinbold founded SEVENIT in 2013 after meeting as informatics students. They launched sevdesk in 2014 for invoicing and customer management, adding accounting features later.
In 2017, SEVENIT acquired software assets and the Disdar brand. It also raised €3.1 million that year from investors including LEA Partners and Wecken & Cie. Global Founders Capital invested in sevdesk in 2019.
The founders kept the company in Offenburg as it grew, despite difficulties recruiting specialist staff. By 2021, sevdesk employed about 180 people. Arena Holdings led a €50 million investment in sevdesk in 2021. The company’s revenue was €17.8 million in 2023, with a net loss of €8.6 million.
Cegid acquired sevDesk GmbH and its Austrian subsidiary on 6 February 2025. When the acquisition was announced, sevdesk reported more than 130,000 customers.
Sevdesk allows users to create invoices, digitize receipts, reconcile bank transactions and prepare German VAT tax returns. Users can export accounting data for their tax advisers, and the software supports the German electronic invoice formats XRechnung and ZUGFeRD.
Sevdesk ranked second behind Lexware Office in CHIP’s 2026 comparison of four cloud accounting products.
