Accounting for you as
Programmer

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

A programmer is a professional who develops software applications and systems by writing, testing, and maintaining code. A programmer’s tasks and responsibilities include:

  1. Writing code: Programmers create source code in various programming languages (e.g. Python, Java, C++, JavaScript) to develop software applications.
  2. Software development: They work on the entire development of software projects, from planning and design to implementation and maintenance.
  3. Bug fixing: Programmers identify and fix bugs in the code to ensure the functionality and stability of the software.
  4. Documentation: They create and maintain technical documentation that describes the code, software architecture, and instructions for using the software.
  5. Testing: programmers carry out tests to ensure the quality of the software. This includes unit testing, integration testing and system testing.
  6. Collaboration: they often work in a team with other developers, designers, project managers and stakeholders to clarify requirements and develop solutions.
  7. Maintenance and updates: programmers are responsible for maintaining existing software, including carrying out updates and implementing new features.
  8. Technological knowledge: They stay up to date on new technologies, programming languages and development methodologies to keep their skills and knowledge current.
  9. User interface development: Some programmers, particularly web developers, are also responsible for designing and implementing user interfaces that provide a positive user experience.
  10. Security testing: programmers also have a role in ensuring that software is secure and adheres to privacy and data security best practices.

Overall, programmers play a critical role in software development by creating the technical foundations needed to build applications and systems used in everyday life, business, and many other areas.
