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.

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 Expert?

An expert is a professional who has specialised knowledge and experience in a particular field and provides their expertise to produce informed opinions, advice or valuations. The main roles and responsibilities of an expert include:

  1. Providing expert opinions: Experts provide independent expert opinions on specific issues or problems that require their expertise. These expert opinions may be requested in court proceedings, in the event of disputes or for private clients.
  2. Consultancy: They offer professional advice in their area of specialisation, be it in technical, legal, economic or other fields.
  3. Examination and analysis: Experts analyse data, documents or materials in order to draw well-founded conclusions. This may also include the investigation of defects or damage.
  4. Preservation of evidence: In many cases, experts are tasked with securing or documenting evidence in order to clarify the facts of a dispute or proceedings.
  5. Testimonial: They may appear as witnesses in court proceedings and present their expert opinions or analyses in court. In doing so, they must present their expertise in a comprehensible and plausible manner.
  6. Market and value analyses: Experts carry out valuations of real estate, companies or other assets to determine their market value.
  7. Continuing education: They keep up to date with current developments, standards and regulations in their field of expertise in order to update their expertise.
  8. Documentation: Experts must carefully document their analyses and results to ensure the traceability of their reports.
  9. Collaboration with other professionals: They often work with lawyers, engineers, architects or other professionals to find comprehensive solutions to complex problems.
  10. Ethical standards: Experts must adhere to high ethical standards to ensure that their opinions are independent, objective and unbiased.

Overall, experts play an important role in various fields by contributing their expertise to clarify issues, resolve disputes and support decision-making.
