Accounting for you as
Director

Discover a new dimension in accounting with Seewara, customised for you as a Director 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 Director?

A director is a central figure in film, theatre and television production, responsible for the creative and artistic direction of a project. The main tasks of a director include:

  1. Conception: the director develops a vision for the piece or film and interprets the script or play to tell a coherent story.
  2. Casting: They are often involved in the selection of actors and conduct casting processes to find the best performers for the roles.
  3. Preparation: The director works closely with screenwriters, producers and other creatives to determine production plans, budget and time frame.
  4. Rehearsals: In theatre, the director conducts rehearsals to coach the performers, develop the characters and perfect the staging.
  5. Visual design: The director works with the cinematographer (in film) or the set designer (in theatre) to design the visual appearance of the project, including the selection of backdrops, props and costumes.
  6. Creative decisions: During filming or performances, the director makes important decisions about the staging, camera angles, lighting and overall atmosphere of the production.
  7. Collaborative effort: They coordinate the work of the entire production team, including technicians, costume designers and sound engineers, to ensure that all aspects of the production work together harmoniously.
  8. Post-production: In film and television, the director often works with editors and composers to create the final cut of the film and to design the musical background.
  9. Feedback and adjustments: The director takes feedback from producers, test screenings or rehearsals to refine and improve the project.
  10. Creative marketing: In some cases, the director may also be involved in the marketing strategies for the project, to attract an audience and promote the production.

Overall, the director is responsible for the artistic realisation and overall outcome of a project and plays a crucial role in the creative process of the production.
