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 Power Engineer?

A power engineer is a professional who deals with the planning, installation, maintenance and optimisation of power generation, distribution and consumption systems. The tasks of a power engineer can vary depending on specialisation and working environment, but typically include the following areas:

Main tasks of a power engineer

  1. Planning and project planning: Energy engineers design and plan energy-efficient systems and facilities, such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems (HVAC), electrical supply networks or renewable energy systems (e.g. photovoltaic and wind power systems).
  2. Installation: You are responsible for the installation and commissioning of energy plants and systems. This includes both electrical installations and mechanical components.
  3. Maintenance and servicing: Energy technicians carry out regular maintenance work and inspections to ensure the functionality and safety of the systems. They rectify technical faults and carry out repairs.
  4. Energy efficiency analyses: They analyse the energy consumption of buildings and systems in order to identify potential savings and make recommendations for increasing energy efficiency.
  5. Energy consulting: Energy engineers advise customers and companies on issues relating to energy supply, utilisation and savings. They develop individual solutions to optimise energy requirements.
  6. Renewable energies: Many energy engineers specialise in renewable energies. They plan and install systems such as solar plants, wind turbines or biomass plants, taking into account the relevant technical and economic aspects.
  7. Technical documentation: They create technical documents such as plans, reports and protocols to document the work and analyses carried out.
  8. Compliance with regulations: Energy technicians comply with legal regulations, standards and guidelines in the field of energy generation and utilisation, including safety regulations.
  9. Continuing education: They keep up to date with current developments in energy technology, new technologies and legal changes and regularly participate in training and continuing education programmes.
  10. Interdisciplinary collaboration: Energy technicians often work with other professionals, such as engineers, architects and contractors, to realise complex projects and ensure the integration of energy systems into new buildings or renovation projects.

Conclusion

Energy engineers play a central role in the design and implementation of modern energy systems. Through their work, they help to optimise energy consumption, promote the use of renewable energies and reduce environmental pollution. Their expertise is particularly important in times of change towards sustainable and efficient energy structures.
