Whether as a company, entrepreneur, private individual or foundation/association, you can profit from these classic benchmark services in tax consulting:
- Preparing annual accounts (please click to open)
It is increasingly important to have professional and comprehensive annual accounts prepared for your files. Banks and investors regularly review and hone robust standards to ensure annual statements are properly transparent and meaningful – and consequently annual accounts play a significant role in ratings and terms of finance.
Depending on the scope of your order, we offer:
- Annual reports according to IFRS
- Annual reports according to commercial and tax law
- Consulting services on preparing annual reports
- Net receipt statements
- Special purposes and supplementary balance sheets
- Interim statements and net liquidity statements
- Disclosure documents for the electronic register of companies
- E-account filing for the tax office
We also provide, as required, annual accounts accompanied by comprehensive management accounting and, if needed, plausibility or audit certificates.
- Tax returns (please click to open)
Given the complexity of tax laws amended or supplemented every year, preparing a tax return is more than just filling in a form. Today, filing a tax return also entails selecting a series of options which may have a significant influence on the past and future. We are constantly working to ensure that the options selected minimize the tax burden and provide an early indication of potential discussion points in external audits. In this way, you remain ahead of the field on possible tax office demands, and can anticipate the issues that may arise in an external audit – avoiding unpleasant surprises.
