Business economist

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

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 Business economist?

A business economist is a professional who deals with the planning, organisation, management and control of companies or organisations. The main tasks and responsibilities of a business economist include

  1. Business analysis: Business economists carry out analyses to assess the economic situation of a company. This may include analysing key figures, market conditions and competitive positions.
  2. Strategic planning: They develop strategies to achieve business objectives, including setting short and long-term goals and identifying opportunities and risks.
  3. Financial management: Business economists are often responsible for budgeting, financial planning and control. They analyse income, expenditure and investments to ensure the financial health of the company.
  4. Marketing and sales: They create marketing strategies to promote products or services and increase sales. This includes market analyses, determining target groups and developing advertising campaigns.
  5. Human resources management: Business economists can work in the human resources department and are responsible for recruiting, training and developing employees as well as drawing up personnel guidelines.
  6. Process optimisation: They analyse and optimise internal business processes to increase efficiency and productivity and reduce costs.
  7. Project management: Business economists plan and monitor projects to ensure they are successfully completed on time, within budget and to a high standard.
  8. Risk Management: They identify potential risks to the business and develop strategies to minimise or manage these risks.
  9. Reporting: Business administrators create reports for management that include the current state of the company’s performance and recommendations for improvement.
  10. Collaboration: They often work with various departments within the organisation as well as with external partners and service providers to achieve business objectives.

Business administrators can work in a variety of industries and functions, including finance, marketing, human resources, logistics and management consulting. Their knowledge and skills are crucial for the successful management and development of companies and organisations.
