Your Inquiry
The more precise your inquiry, the more reliable our initial assessment — four details are enough for us to give you a meaningful response.
Process
From First Contact to Engagement
There are usually two to three weeks between your inquiry and the first booking. All new clients go through these four steps — regardless of whether it's a single tax return or ongoing financial and payroll accounting.
1. Response within two business days
We read your inquiry and get back to you by phone or email. In doing so, we clarify three things in advance: what legal form is involved (sole proprietorship, GbR, GmbH), which areas you'd like to hand off, and whether there's a pressing deadline. If a filing deadline is imminent, we'll tell you openly whether we can still meet it or whether requesting an extension from the tax office is the more sensible route.

We hold the initial consultation at the firm, by phone, or via video call. We review your figures from the previous year, discuss your accounting software, the flow of documents within your business, and topics that experience shows can cost money: VAT advance returns, private vehicle use, entertainment expense receipts, provisions. You'll receive an initial assessment, not a sales pitch.
You'll receive a written proposal. It states which services are included, how they're billed under the German Tax Advisor Remuneration Ordinance (StBVV), and where we instead suggest a monthly flat fee. The value basis for fees — for financial accounting, annual revenue; for annual financial statements, the average of balance sheet total and operating output — is stated transparently.
With your order confirmation, you grant us power of attorney to receive correspondence from the tax office on your behalf. We register the engagement electronically, obtain the tax assessments from previous years, and request the data backup from your previous advisor. We then set up your document access and take over the account balances. Bookkeeping runs with us starting the first of the following month.
