# Phoros

> Phoros is a workflow platform for German tax advisors (Steuerkanzleien). It automates employee onboarding, monthly payroll, and client-mail triage for DATEV: PDF in, validated DATEV-shaped data out. Operated by Phoros GmbH, Munich, Germany.

## Product

- **Audience:** Deutsche Steuerkanzleien (German tax advisor firms).
- **Inputs:**
    - Existing clients: one-off DATEV employee-master export imported at onboarding.
    - New employees: PDF Personalfragebögen (upload) OR a self-service link sent to the client, who fills the data online and uploads required documents.
    - Monthly payroll: Excel, CSV, and PDF documents with variable inputs.
    - Mandate mail: the firm forwards client emails to a private per-advisor Phoros address. Phoros processes only the forwarded messages and their PDF attachments and never accesses the firm's mailbox.
- **Outputs:** DATEV-shaped ASCII import per client for master data; DATEV Lohn & Gehalt ASCII export for monthly payroll.
- **Validation:** Steuer-ID and SV-Nummer checksums, IBAN mod-97, GKV health-insurance roster, completeness checks before export. Automatic follow-up email when something is missing.
- **Stack:** Next.js frontend, FastAPI backend, AWS in the Frankfurt region (eu-central-1, Germany) — RDS PostgreSQL (database), S3 (file storage), Amazon Bedrock (Anthropic Claude) vision for extraction, SES (inbound mail) — and DATEV for export.

## Modules

- **Module 1, Stammdaten (Employee Onboarding):** Existing clients seeded from DATEV export; new employees via PDF upload or self-service link. Side-by-side review with bounding-box highlights; one-click follow-up for missing fields; ASCII import to DATEV per client.
- **Module 2, Lohnabrechnung (Payroll Automation):** Monthly run per client, drag-drop Excel/CSV/PDF of variable inputs, consistency check against Stammdaten, DATEV LuG ASCII download. Approval freezes Mandantennummer + Personalnummer for §§ 257 HGB / 147 AO compliance.
- **Module 3, Postfach (Mandate-Mail Triage):** The firm forwards client mail to a private per-advisor Phoros address; Phoros processes the forwarded messages and their PDF attachments — it never accesses the firm's mailbox. Relevant statements ("Herr Schneider hat 3 Tage Urlaub") are sorted to the right client and employee for the next payroll run.
