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 Mechanical engineer?

A mechanical engineer is an engineer or technician who is involved in the design, development, manufacture and maintenance of machines and mechanical systems. The tasks and responsibilities of a mechanical engineer include:

  1. Designing machines and equipment: mechanical engineers design new machines and mechanical systems or improve existing ones. This can range from the concept phase to detailed design plans.
  2. Technical calculations: They carry out calculations to ensure the functionality and safety of machines. These include statics, strength, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
  3. Creating CAD models: Mechanical engineers use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create precise technical drawings and 3D models that serve as the basis for manufacturing.
  4. Prototyping: They build prototypes of machines or components to test their functionality and make adjustments if necessary.
  5. Research and development: Mechanical engineers are often involved in the research and development of new technologies and materials to develop innovative solutions and products.
  6. Production and manufacturing: They oversee the production process to ensure that machines are manufactured efficiently and according to quality standards.
  7. Quality assurance: mechanical engineers are responsible for conducting tests and inspections to ensure the quality and safety of machines and products.
  8. Maintenance and repair: they develop maintenance plans and carry out maintenance work on existing machines to maintain their performance and minimise downtime.
  9. Project management: mechanical engineers often work in teams and take on project management tasks to ensure that projects are completed on time and on budget.
  10. Collaborating with other disciplines: mechanical engineers often work with electronic engineers, computer scientists and other engineers to develop and integrate complex systems.

Overall, the mechanical engineer plays a central role in many industries, including machinery, automotive, aerospace, power generation and many others where
