Our services

Tax consultancy 


Tax consultancy is our core activity. Most of our clients hold assets and liabilities outside Denmark. Due to the complexity of international taxation, professional guidance is essential to protect taxpayers’ rights.


Our services are:

  • Tax consultancy and tax filing for individuals
  • Tax consultancy and tax filing for companies
  • Consultancy on establishing and operating companies
  • Review of contracts and agreements
  • Participating in meetings (only in Copenhagen and the suburbs)

Accounting services

 

We provide all-around bookkeeping services for companies with simple operating activities. For larger and more complex businesses, such as those in the retailing or catering branch, we recommend that the clients hire an external bookkeeper.


According to the Financial Statements Act, a company may opt out of an audit if two of the following criteria are not exceeded on the balance sheet date for two financial years in a row*:

  • Assets of DKK 4 million
  • Annual net turnover of DKK 8 million
  • The average number of full-time employees of 12 or fewer during the year

 *Not applicable for companies under special rules on auditing.


The purpose of this policy is to reduce administrative costs for SME companies. Despite the audit exemption, the company must submit the financial report to the Danish Business Authorities (Erhvervsstyrelsen).

 

Our services are:

  • Bookkeeping for businesses with simple operating activities
  • VAT declarations
  • Making and submitting the annual financial report
  • Financial analyses
