Why Choose a "Gateway" Accountant?
Most German Tax Advisors are excellent at law, but they are often overstretched and prefer working in German. This leaves international founders in a "service gap."
We cover this gap by:
-
English-First Communication: We discuss your strategy and compliance in plain English.
-
Tech-Forward Workflow: We hate paper as much as you do. We use modern, cloud-based tools to keep your business 100% digital and GoBD-compliant.
-
Cost Efficiency: Why overpay a high-priced Tax Advisor for basic data entry? We handle the day-to-day management at a fraction of the cost, ensuring the Tax Advisor only handles the final filings.
How the Partnership Works (The Legal Bit)
To provide you with the highest level of security and compliance, we operate in a collaborative model:
-
Management & Prep: We handle your ongoing bookkeeping, payroll and financial organization (§ 6 Nr. 3 und 4 StBerG).
-
Expert Filing: We partner with a network of licensed German Steuerberater (Tax Advisors) and Notaries who review the work and submit your official tax returns and annual balance sheets.
This gives you the best of both worlds: Personalized, English-speaking support + Licensed German tax expertise.
