Choosing Accountants in Germany
Accountants handle statutory bookkeeping, annual accounts, payroll and the filings your company owes its registry and tax authority. Some also sign statutory audits, which is a separate and more tightly controlled activity in most jurisdictions.
Corpy lists 5 firms offering accountants in Germany. Each listing is compiled from the firm's own published information, and Corpy does not take a commission on introductions.
How this is regulated in Germany
Wirtschaftspruefer is a protected title. Auditors belong to the Wirtschaftspruefkammer, the Chamber of Public Accountants, with public oversight through the audit oversight body at BAFA.
German companies are recorded in the Handelsregister, the commercial register maintained by the local registry courts.
What to check before you engage a firm
- Ask whether they are licensed to sign a statutory audit, or only to prepare accounts. These are usually different credentials.
- Check they have handled companies owned from abroad, since non-resident ownership changes the reporting and often the banking requirements.
- Agree in writing who files what, and by when. Missed statutory deadlines carry penalties that fall on the company, not the adviser.
