Why You Need a Digital Platform (Fast)
The new 2027 rules expect autónomos to issue compliant digital invoices, store expenses in a verifiable format, maintain an audit trail and export everything cleanly if AEAT asks for it.
You can technically do that with any certified system — but if you pick a tool that’s clunky or confusing, you’ll just trade paperwork headaches for software headaches.
A good platform should make your life easier from day one: fewer surprises, clearer numbers, faster year-end with your asesor, and total control over your business without needing an accounting degree.
