Tax advisor for small companies, founders and self-employed people

Hire tax advisors for companies: Overview of costs and factors
The costs of having a tax advisor in a company depend on several aspects, including:
- Expense: The more complex the accounting, the higher the costs.
- Time: The amount of working hours influences the fee.
- Billing: Some services are charged at a flat rate, others at hourly rates.
For tax advisors based in Germany, for example in Berlin, the Tax Consultant Remuneration Ordinance is an important basis. It determines the framework on the basis of which fees are calculated. Two of the most important factors here are the item value and the amount of time already mentioned.
In individual cases, tax advisors will also charge additional costs for companies. This is the case, for example, when special services, such as support as part of a tax audit, are used.
In principle, it makes sense to discuss all important details in advance. A modern, reputable tax advisor relies on transparent pricing. Clients should always be able to ask exactly how the individual items on the invoice are made up.
Local vs. online advice: Pros and cons
If you have decided to seek help from a tax advisor with regard to your bookkeeping, another important consideration follows shortly after: Would you like to rely on local or online advice? Both variants offer advantages, but are also associated with one or the other challenge.
Local tax advice
Digital tax advice
Personal contact
If you opt for local tax advice, you can talk to your tax advisor in person, either in your offices. Many appreciate this direct type of contact.
In the case of online tax advice, general support is provided exclusively digitally. In addition, many tax advisors offer telephone support.
Flexibility
Anyone wishing to make an appointment with a local tax consultancy is bound to the office's opening hours.
With online tax advice, you can submit documents online at any time and communicate flexibly accordingly.
Expenses
As a rule, the costs of local tax advice are higher, as more time must be planned for support and personal appointments.
Many processes are automated in connection with online tax advice. As a result, the digital option often proves to be cheaper.
The high demand for digital tax advice has meant that many providers have significantly expanded their portfolio. While online tax advice was previously used primarily for simple standard topics, today it also covers complex issues and individual advice.
Change tax advisor - This is how a smooth transition is achieved
You can your tax advisors generally cancel at any time and to another change tax advisor — even during the current financial year. However, it is important to pay attention to a few points in order to create the basis for a smooth transition.
The following tips will help you do just that:
- Review the contract, which you have concluded with your current tax advisor. Here you can see which notice periods must be met.
- Look for a new tax advisor. Ideally, they should have experience in your industry and know exactly what you expect from them. Once the contract has been signed, the new tax advisor can contact the old tax advisor and request the documents. By the way, your (still) current tax advisor is obliged to hand over the documents, provided that there are no more outstanding fees.
- Cancel in writing, preferably by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. This allows you to see exactly when your cancellation has been received and can keep track of everything even better.
This is precisely where the advantage of digital accounting is evident: Instead of file packages sent by post, all documents can now simply be transferred electronically.
This is how you find the suitable tax advisor
Finding the best tax advisor doesn't have to be complicated. It is important that you address your own expectations in order to support the long-term success of your company and to have your back.
In this context, pay attention not only to professional skills, but also to other aspects, such as the fact that the tax advisor you would like to work with has already gained experience in your industry.
You should also consider which services you need. For example, do you want to have ongoing bookkeeping done or do you need someone to prepare your tax return? Are you currently in a special situation, for example in the middle of setting up a business, and need support?
The clearer your expectations are, the easier it is to find an expert who is just right for you.
