Annual financial statements

Financial statements are prepared in accordance with commercial law and tax law regulations. The fact that legislation on taxation is becoming more and more exacting has led to a widening gap between tax law and commercial law, requiring companies to publish separate commercial and tax balance sheets with different positions.

We will help you with this task, treading lightly as we go along, and make ourselves available to your house bank for a meeting if desired. Our clients benefit from our long-standing reputation.
