Accounting for you as
Legal advisor

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

A legal advisor is a professional who provides legal advice and support in various legal matters. This may apply to both individuals and businesses. The main duties and responsibilities of a legal advisor include:

  1. Legal advice: Legal advisors provide their clients with legal information and recommendations on a range of topics, such as contract law, labour law, corporate law, tax law and more.
  2. Contract review and creation: They help draft, review and negotiate contracts to ensure that their clients‘ interests are protected.
  3. Legal analyses: Legal counsels conduct legal analyses to assess the impact of laws, regulations or court rulings on their clients’ specific situations.
  4. Dispute resolution: They help their clients resolve legal disputes, whether through negotiation, mediation or by initiating legal proceedings.
  5. Representation in court: In many cases, legal counsellors represent their clients in court proceedings or before authorities and enforce their interests.
  6. Training and education: They educate their clients about relevant legal issues and changes in the legal system to help them make informed decisions.
  7. Compliance: Legal professionals help businesses comply with legal requirements and regulations to avoid legal issues and minimise the risk of penalties.
  8. Documentation: They draft and manage legal documents, including lawsuits, defences, transcripts and other relevant documentation.
  9. Collaborating with other professionals: legal advisors often work with other professionals, such as tax advisors, auditors, or financial advisors, to ensure comprehensive legal advice.
  10. Confidentiality: Legal advisors are obliged to maintain the confidentiality of their clients and protect their personal and business information.

Overall, a legal advisor plays a crucial role in providing legal expertise to help clients understand their rights, solve legal problems and make informed decisions.
