Accounting for you as
Midwife

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

A midwife is a trained professional who supports and cares for women during pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period. The duties and responsibilities of a midwife include

  1. Antenatal care: Midwives carry out regular check-ups during pregnancy to monitor the health of the mother and baby. They advise the expectant mother on nutrition, lifestyle and physical preparation for the birth.
  2. Birth preparation: They offer birth preparation courses in which expectant parents receive information about the birth process, breathing techniques, relaxation and pain management.
  3. Midwifery: Midwives are trained to help with the birth and can accompany the birth both in hospital and at home. They monitor the progress of the birth, actively support the mother and ensure the safety of mother and child.
  4. Postnatal care: After the birth, midwives look after the mother and the newborn. They monitor the baby’s health, support breastfeeding and give advice on caring for the newborn.
  5. Counselling and support: Midwives provide emotional support and counselling for the family, particularly in relation to adjusting to life with a newborn, breastfeeding and the physical and emotional changes after birth.
  6. Early detection of complications: They are trained to recognise signs of complications in the mother or baby and call for medical help if necessary.
  7. Teamwork: Midwives often work as part of a team with other healthcare providers, such as doctors, paediatric nurses and psychologists, to ensure comprehensive care.
  8. Family planning education: They provide information on contraceptive methods and support women in family planning.
  9. Special needs: Midwives take into account the individual needs of women, including cultural, emotional and physical aspects of childbirth.
  10. Education and research: Midwives are involved in the education of students and in research to develop obstetric practices.

Overall, midwives play a critical role in the reproductive health and well-being of women and newborns by providing holistic, compassionate and competent care during one of the most important stages of life.
