Compare
your options
As a company that is required to keep accounts, you have several options for organising your bookkeeping. You can find a comparison here.
Tax consultant
A tax consultant takes care of your accounting
A tax consultant is a “state-authorised advisor and representative in tax matters”. You’ll notice straight away: it doesn’t involve bookkeeping.
The answer is simple: The purpose of a tax advisor is to advise rather than account for documents, whereby the advice is increasingly being neglected, also because tax advisors are overburdened by legal requirements and bureaucratic processes. Use your tax advisor for advice, not for account assignment.
However, tax advisors often offer accounting services that they outsource to external accountants to reduce the workload, but charge a fee at the hourly rate of a tax advisor.
Can be done, but may be inefficient and unnecessarily expensive.
Do-it-yourself (DIY)
You do your own bookkeeping
.DIY stands for do-it-yourself. This is accounting software that you use to do your bookkeeping yourself. At first glance, it’s a cost-effective option, if it weren’t for the time invested and the nerves that keep you from doing business.
