Are you freelancing in Germany and already hating all the dull paperwork? You’re going to love this!

Imagine maintaining your business while having a supreme tax service standing by your side: With the new Kontist Tax Service from Kontist Steuerberatung, you can hand all of your bookkeeping, taxes and tax office communication over to the experts.

What’s offered by the Kontist Tax Service?

So, what exactly does this mean?

Kontist has been designed as an all-in-one service for your business. That means it offers bookkeeping, taxes and business banking, all under one roof. Not only does Kontist organise your books for you, but they even submit everything to the tax office on your behalf. 

Kontist offers an all-in-one service for your business

Kontist will take care of:

  • Financial bookkeeping
  • Advance VAT and tax payments
  • Annual financial statements
  • Commercial and private tax declarations
  • Income surplus statements (profit and loss calculations)

Help from qualified experts

You can rest assured that your paperwork is left in the best of hands, because Kontist allocates all accounting and tax consulting tasks to qualified experts. Your experienced, professional tax advisor will be there to support you throughout, tailoring their advice to your business’s unique needs - and reminding you of any important deadlines approaching!

If you’re already picturing what you could do with all that saved time, hold your horses - that’s not all that Kontist offers! 

Kontist business banking

Not only can Kontist take care of all your bookkeeping and taxes, but they can also shoulder your business banking needs as well! With the Kontist bank account (which comes with a physical Visa card) all your transactions are automatically recorded, processed and then sent to a tax advisor - without the need for any receipts. Modern accounting that saves time and money.

Plus, you get free access to the Kontist Service Tax hotline, which is on hand every day from 9 am to 9 pm to answer your accounting, tax and user questions. Kontist has been built by current or past freelancers, so their experts know what’s on your mind. 

Digital, fast and easy: How does Kontist work?

Hooked? Here’s how to get started with Kontest

1. Register

To get started, head over to the Kontist website to register. You just need to answer a few questions to make sure you qualify. For instance, Kontist’s service is only currently offered to solo self-employed workers. 

2. Schedule your first call

You will then have a call with a Kontist advisor, during which you can share details about your business and your priorities, so that Kontist can tailor their service to match your needs. This is the time to ask any questions you may have!

3. Hand everything over

That’s it! Now you can hand over your financial bookkeeping, communications with the Finazamt and VAT advance payments - Kontist takes care of everything. Of course, they’ll check back in with you regularly. 

4. Grow your business

Now’s the time to focus on what’s really important for you and your business. Not having to handle tax matters gives you more time. And more time is something we all need. 

Affordable, transparent and reliable

Are you already thinking, “This must cost a fortune!”

Well, that’s where you’d be wrong. Currently, Kontist is running a limited-time offer that gives you the Kontist tax service for just 99 euros per month, instead of 149 euros per month. This includes the upgrade to the Kontist Premium bank account. 

Take advantage of the offer by registering with Kontist now!
