Illustrative month.

I contacted them regarding an urgent VAT filing issue. They solved my problem very quickly. They handled what my previous accounting company should have taken care of. They provide fast and clear communication, along with a transparent and user-friendly dashboard that makes managing everything much easier. A huge thank you!

How the service runs

Every return filed. Everything visible.

The same four things happen every month, in every country you are registered in.

01
The outcome

Your VAT obligation is met

Every period, in every country you are registered in, the return is prepared and filed on time.

02
Who does the work

A licensed tax advisor

A licensed German tax advisor reviews and submits your German returns. The same team prepares and files your French returns.

03
Your part

Confirm your figures

Copy last month, upload your sales report, or type the figures in. Minutes, not hours. You confirm them; we do not invent them.

04
The dashboard

Your window into it

Registration progress, every return, every tax office letter in plain English, and what you paid. One login for both countries.

You confirm your own figures each period. We prepare the return from what you confirm, a licensed German tax advisor reviews and submits it, and the filing receipt lands in your dashboard.

Direct to the tax office

Your returns go straight into ELSTER, over our own connection.

ELSTER is the German tax authority's electronic filing system. We built and run our own direct connection to it, so nothing sits between your approved return and the Finanzamt.

01

Checked before it leaves.

ELSTER's own checks run on your return before we send it, so errors are caught before the Finanzamt sees them.

02

The official receipt, in seconds.

The moment we send, ELSTER answers with its receipt number. You see it on the return in your dashboard.

03

Every German return.

Monthly and quarterly returns, the annual return and the EC sales list go through the same connection.

Who does the work

An in-house team, licensed on both sides of the border.

Your returns are prepared, reviewed and submitted by the tax firm itself, not routed to a subcontractor you will never meet. Letters from either tax office reach you in English with the deadline named, read and explained; on Pro a written response comes from your advisor hours.

That is the whole idea: the depth of a traditional tax firm, reachable in your language, across two countries.

See how we work

Three tools, open to anyone.

No signup for any of them. They exist because the fastest way to trust a tax firm is to watch it answer a question precisely.

Tool 01 · The country check

Where do you owe VAT? Two answers get you started.

1. Where is your stock stored?
2. Cross-border B2C sales above €10,000 a year?
What that means

Answer the two questions and this panel tells you which registrations follow, in plain words. The full check goes deeper; this is the two-minute version.

Tool 02 · The letter reader

A scary tax letter, read into plain English.

Photograph a letter from the tax office and you get the letter type, an English translation, and every deadline it names. No signup. If it needs a response, we quote a fixed price, from €200 net, within 24 hours on weekdays. You pay nothing until you accept the quote.

Letter type Deadlines, verified English translation

Tool 03 · The VAT calculator

German VAT, gross to net, without a spreadsheet.

Enter a price and the calculator splits out the VAT share at the German rates, in both directions. Useful for pricing decisions and for checking an invoice that looks off. No account needed.

Gross 119.00 Net 100.00 · VAT 19.00
