What a tax and accountancy firm does for you

Tax advisers and bookkeeping firms post your receipts, keep your ongoing books, run payroll and prepare your annual accounts. On top of that come the regular VAT returns and the tax returns for the business.

For private individuals, firms prepare the annual tax return, for example when there is rental income, investment income or income from abroad. A tax adviser specialises in the tax law of their own country. Who may give tax advice and which tasks a bookkeeping firm may take on is regulated differently from country to country.

How to prepare your request

For a first quote, the firm needs an idea of the scope: legal form, number of employees, approximate turnover and how many receipts and invoices there are each month. It also matters how you have worked so far, whether with paper receipts, software or another firm.

If you are switching, your most recent accounts, current tax assessments and details of the software you have used so far are helpful. For a personal tax return, an overview of your income and your last assessment are enough to start with. If you have a letter from the tax authority with a deadline, mention it straight away in your request.

What to look out for when choosing a firm

Ask how the firm charges for its services and exactly what is included in the quote: only the bookkeeping, or also the accounts, tax returns and questions in between. Also clarify how receipts are submitted, digitally or in a folder, and which software the firm uses.

Many firms specialise, for example in hospitality, healthcare professions, online retail or cross-border cases. If your situation falls into one of these, it is worth asking about their experience. A first conversation also shows whether you work well together, as you often stay with a firm for years.

Questions and answers

Tax advice & accounting: frequently asked questions

Can I hand over just some tasks to a firm?

Yes, many firms also take on individual tasks. Some businesses do their own bookkeeping and only have the accounts and tax returns prepared, others only hand over payroll. Describe in your request what you want to do yourself and where you need support.

Does the firm have to be near me?

Not necessarily. Receipts, reports and questions are often handled digitally today. A firm from your region is, however, easier to reach for a personal meeting. Above all, it should know the tax law of the country in which you are liable to pay tax.

Can a firm help if returns from previous years are missing?

Yes, many firms also deal with backlogs. They first get an overview of missing bookkeeping, accounts and returns and then work through them one by one. If the tax authority has already written to you, mention this in your request.

What does the request cost me?

Nothing. The request is free for you and without obligation. You decide for yourself whether to work with a tax and accountancy firm and which one.

How many tax and accountancy firms will get in touch?

Up to three from your region that offer exactly this service. Your contact details only go to them.

Can I withdraw my request?

Yes, at any time via the link in your confirmation email. You can also have your contact details deleted there.
