Many challenges can only be overcome through consulting experience and comprehensive knowledge in the relevant fields. However, it is not enough to present detailed knowledge in isolation. The various levels must be integrated into a holistic assessment.

We prepare annual and interim financial statements, as well as profit calculations for companies of all industries and legal forms. The preparation of annual financial statements is carried out in compliance with commercial and tax law regulations. Due to tax legislation, the differences between tax law and commercial law are constantly increasing, making it often advisable to prepare separate commercial and tax balance sheets. Balance sheet preparation is increasingly becoming an optimization decision between the desire to demonstrate economic strength on the one hand, and to reduce the tax burden through the lowest possible profit on the other. We support you in this task and conduct a balance sheet analysis together with our clients to optimally implement structures and options.

The regular preparation of payroll and salary statements is particularly sensitive and time-critical.

Fees and Hourly Rates

Industry-standard and transparent: We pursue a transparent and comprehensible fee policy. Our services are billed in accordance with the German Tax Advisor Fee Ordinance (StBVV).

Fair and transparent

When preparing tax returns and annual financial statements, the fee is based on the so-called ‘Gegenstandswert’ (value of the subject matter), i.e., the economic value that the return or annual financial statement represents.

Depending on the complexity, a higher or lower fee rate is applied to the value of the subject matter. As a rule, we base our fees on the average rate.

Billing based on effort

We calculate financial accounting with a uniform hourly rate of EUR 90 net per hour.

As a rule, payroll accounting is billed with a flat fee per employee. The flat fee depends on the type of payroll and starts at EUR 16.00 net per employee. For a comprehensive overview of payroll fee rates, please feel free to contact us.

Tiered Fee Rates

We bill ongoing consulting on tax and business administration matters at the following tiered hourly rates:
  • Tax Consultant – EUR 90 to EUR 110 net per commenced half hour
