Accountant

Discover a new dimension in accounting with Seewara, customised for you as a Accountant with mandatory accounting – without do-it-yourself software and without sole dependence on artificial intelligence.

The good news for you

As a freelancer without a business, you are exempt from the obligation to keep double-entry accounts under the Income Tax Act (EStG), regardless of turnover and profit. The principle of so-called simple bookkeeping applies to you.

Simple bookkeeping for businesses and the self-employed

Do you understand your accounting requirements? With Seewara, we offer a simple, transparent solution for businesses and the self-employed who want to keep track of their finances.

Who counts as a commercial enterprise?
Commercial enterprises include all companies that do not fall under the category of freelancers according to §18 EStG. This includes, for example, all commercial activities that are not exempt from the accounting obligation by law. Typical commercial enterprises are, for example, trading companies, craft businesses or limited liability companies (e.g. GmbH) that are either voluntarily or legally entered in the commercial register.

Limits for simple bookkeeping
Certain limits apply to commercial enterprises that are not required to keep accounts:

  • Turnover limit: 800,000 euros
  • Profit limit: 80,000 euros
    If your business does not exceed these limits, you can use the simplified income statement (EÜR) instead of complex double-entry bookkeeping.

Self-employed persons according to Section 18 EStG
Self-employed persons who work in one of the catalogue professions are also affected by special regulations. The catalogue professions include, among others:

  • Artistic activities
  • Scientific activities
  • Teaching and writing activities
  • Educational activities
    These professions are mentioned in the exhaustive list of §18 EStG and are considered to be self-employed regardless of the level of income.

Less bureaucracy, more freedom
Whether you are a tradesperson or self-employed – with our simple accounting solution, you can keep track of everything and save yourself unnecessary bureaucracy. Get in touch with us to customise your bookkeeping to your needs!

What do you actually do as a Accountant?

An accountant is a professional who deals with financial documentation, analysis and reporting in a company. The main duties and activities of an accountant include:

  1. Bookkeeping: Bookkeepers maintain the day-to-day accounts of a business by recording, categorising and managing all financial transactions. This includes income, expenses, assets and liabilities.
  2. Preparation of financial reports: They prepare regular financial reports, such as balance sheets, profit and loss statements and cash flow analyses, to show the financial health of the business.
  3. Cash management: Accountants monitor and manage cash and bank accounts to ensure that all income and expenditure is recorded correctly.
  4. Payroll: They calculate wages and salaries for employees, prepare payslips and ensure compliance with tax regulations and social security contributions.
  5. Tax returns: Accountants prepare tax returns for the company and ensure that all tax obligations are met on time.
  6. Budgeting: They assist in the preparation and monitoring of budgets to ensure that expenditure remains within the company’s financial means.
  7. Financial analysis: Accountants analyse financial data to identify trends, opportunities and risks that could affect the company.
  8. Compliance and internal control: They ensure that the company complies with legal requirements and accounting standards and implement internal control systems to prevent fraud and errors.
  9. Consultancy: Accountants provide financial advice to support management in decision-making, particularly in relation to investments, cost management and financial strategies.
  10. Documentation: They are responsible for the proper documentation of all financial records to ensure transparency and traceability.

Overall, the work of an accountant aims to optimise a company’s financial processes, ensure the accuracy of financial reporting and support the company in complying with legal regulations.
