Bookkeeping / Preparing annual accounts Exact bookkeeping is the primary foundation and a key instrument for business planning and Controlling. Bookkeeping, and the income statement generated from it, is also of major importance for the taxation of profits and income – and hence for the annual tax burden. Using DATEV, we set up a bookkeeping system customised to your requirements, with reports that help you understand and maintain control over your key operating figures. At your request, we will gladly install a tailored cost accounting framework. We will also process the management accounting reports generated by the DATEV system in accordance with your specific wishes, for example as columns of figures, or as charts for comparative purposes. You can then see at a glance how the most important financial ratios have developed and where negative tendencies need to be counteracted. The annual financial statements we prepare, including informative Notes sections, are already designed for compliance with the requirements of Basel II, thus preventing any problems with your bank from arising, and ensuring, once Basel II has entered into force, that your company is among those that saves financing costs by prompt submission of financial figures, generated from your bookkeeping records in a form that your bank will welcome. We will gladly take care of your payroll accounting and handle all formalities vis-à-vis the tax authorities and social insurance bodies. Ronald Haupt, Tax Consultant Dr. Josef Sommer, Tax Consultant
