Consultant

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.

Seewara is the best choice for you to have your bookkeeping done by professionals. Find out more about your field of activity and industry here.

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 Consultant?

A consultant is a professional who helps organisations or individuals identify problems, develop solutions and make strategic decisions. Consultants can work in a variety of fields, including management consulting, IT, marketing, human resources and more. Here are some of the main tasks and activities of a consultant:

  1. Needs Analysis: Consultants conduct a thorough analysis of the company’s or client’s needs and challenges to understand the current state and identify potential areas for improvement.
  2. Strategy development: They develop strategies based on the client’s goals and requirements. This can include the improvement of business processes, the introduction of new technologies or the optimisation of marketing strategies.
  3. Solution finding: Consultants present solutions and recommended actions to help clients overcome their challenges and achieve their goals.
  4. Implementation: In many cases, consultants also support the implementation of the developed solutions. This may involve training staff, introducing new systems or monitoring progress.
  5. Project management: They often take responsibility for planning, executing and monitoring projects to ensure they are completed on time and within budget.
  6. Coaching and mentoring: Consultants provide coaching and mentoring to managers and employees to develop their skills and improve the company culture.
  7. Market research and analysis: They conduct market analyses and research studies to identify trends, opportunities and risks that could affect the business.
  8. Competitive analysis: Consultants analyse the competitive landscape and help the client to position themselves in the market and remain competitive.
  9. Reporting: They prepare reports and presentations to inform the client about progress, results and recommendations.
  10. Interdisciplinary collaboration: Consultants often work with different departments and experts within the organisation to ensure a comprehensive approach to problem solving.

Overall, the work of a consultant aims to help the client improve their efficiency, profitability and competitiveness by bringing in expert knowledge and external perspectives.
