Accounting for you as
Mentor

Discover a new dimension in accounting with Seewara, customised for you as a Mentor 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.

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 Mentor?

A mentor is an experienced person who shares their knowledge, skills and experience to support, encourage and advise others. The main tasks and responsibilities of a mentor include:

  1. Advising and supporting: Mentors offer personal and professional advice to help mentees develop skills and achieve goals.
  2. Transfer of knowledge: They share their expertise and experience to provide mentees with valuable insights and perspectives.
  3. Giving feedback: Mentors provide constructive feedback on their mentees’ skills, performance and progress to help them develop.
  4. Goal setting: They help mentees set realistic and achievable goals and develop strategies to achieve them.
  5. Building networks: Mentors can help mentees to develop their professional contacts and build a network that will benefit their career.
  6. Motivation and encouragement: They motivate and encourage their mentees to overcome challenges, develop self-confidence and believe in themselves.
  7. Role model: Mentors often serve as role models and inspire their mentees through their behaviour, achievements and attitudes.
  8. Provide resources: They can point mentees to useful resources, training, books or events that support their personal and professional development.
  9. Develop soft skills: Mentors often also promote the development of social skills, communication skills and other soft skills that are important for professional success.
  10. Maintain confidentiality: Mentors respect the privacy of their mentees and keep personal information confidential.

Mentoring can take place in a variety of contexts, including professional development, academic training, personal development or in special programmes for managers. The relationship between mentor and mentee is often characterised by trust, respect and mutual learning.
