Frequently asked questions

What does a bookkeeping service cost?

With us from €149 a month, payroll from €25 per employee. The exact price depends on the number of receipts, accounts and how you work. You receive your quote after a short questionnaire.

May a bookkeeping service prepare my tax return?

No. In Germany, tax returns, annual financial statements and VAT returns may only be prepared by tax advisors. That is why we work with partner tax advisors or with your own tax advisor.

Do you work in English?

Yes. We answer e-mails, explain reports and hold meetings in English. Contracts are available in English for information, the German version is legally binding.

How does switching from my current advisor work?

You give us your authorisation, we request the data and take over the DATEV records.

Do I have to send receipts by post?

No. A photo with your phone, an upload in the client portal or forwarding by e-mail is enough.

I have not booked anything for years. Can you help?

Yes. That is exactly what our catch-up bookkeeping is for. We start with a backlog check.
