Classic Tax Advisory

Not every tax topic is crypto, and good tax advice remains good tax advice. Alongside the crypto specialization I support individuals and businesses in the classic fields: ongoing tax support, annual accounts, cash-basis accounting, management reports and income tax returns. The difference to many firms is less in the what than in the how: fully digital, fast responses, plain language and an advisor who raises issues before they get expensive.

Services at a glance

• Ongoing support: your tax obligations through the year, handled reliably and with an eye for planning opportunities instead of pure administration.
• Annual accounts and cash-basis accounting: financial statements that satisfy the tax office and show you where your business actually stands.
• Management reports with interpretation: monthly or quarterly reports including the part that makes numbers valuable: an assessment of what follows from them.
• Income tax: returns for individuals, from employment income to rental property and investments, complete and on time. Details under Tax Returns.

100% digital, no compromises

The collaboration runs fully digital: documents via secure data exchange, meetings via MS Teams, digital approvals. That saves you trips and waiting times, and saves me administrative overhead that would otherwise end up on your invoice. Clients are based all over Germany, an office visit is never required. If you prefer the phone, the phone works too.

Thinking ahead as a working principle

Tax advice that only books the past is worth half. So my work includes the pointers that follow from your numbers: upcoming deadlines such as the 2025 return due July 31, 2026, or March 1, 2027 with an advisor engaged (Sec. 149 German Fiscal Code), sensible timing for investments, adjusting prepayments when your results change, and a clear note when a planning opportunity is worth your attention.

And if crypto enters the picture

Many mandates start classic and grow a crypto component over time: a few coins in the portfolio, staking rewards, an NFT experiment. Then it pays that both worlds come from one source: crypto tax advisory is my specialty, and you get it without changing advisors or coordinating two firms.

Switching and costs

Switching tax advisors is easier than its reputation: terminate the old mandate, I handle the file request and the running deadlines. Costs depend on scope and complexity, and after the free initial consultation you receive a transparent offer.

Who classic advisory is for

Not everyone needs crypto specialization, but almost everyone benefits from tax advice that thinks ahead. Typical cases: employees with a more complex situation (several employers, home office, capital income or a side business), landlords with rental income, depreciation and maintenance, the self-employed and freelancers with cash-basis accounting, VAT and prepayments, and small and medium-sized companies needing annual accounts, ongoing bookkeeping and management reporting. For expats, the German tax system is often unfamiliar territory, which is exactly where clear guidance helps most.

Income tax for private individuals

From the employment annex through rental income to capital investments, I prepare your income tax return completely and on time. It is not just about filling in fields but about what can legally be claimed: income-related expenses, special expenses, extraordinary burdens and the right order across several income types. The process is described under Tax Returns.

Self-employed and companies: ongoing support

For businesses I handle ongoing tax support, the annual financial statement or the cash-basis accounting, and deliver management reports that are more than a wall of numbers: with an interpretation of what the figures mean for your next decisions. Upcoming deadlines, prepayment adjustments and sensible structuring moments I raise on my own initiative, before they get expensive. Payroll and VAT pre-registrations run digitally and on schedule in the background.

Switching to us is simpler than its reputation

You cancel the old mandate, I take over requesting the documents and monitoring the running deadlines, for instance filing the 2025 return by 31 July 2026, or with an advisor engagement as a rule by 1 March 2027 (Sec. 149 Fiscal Code). There is no gap and you do not have to do anything twice.

And when crypto comes into play

Many mandates start classic and pick up a crypto component over time: a few coins in the portfolio, staking rewards, an NFT project. Then it pays off that both come from one source: the crypto tax advisory is my specialty, and you neither need to switch advisors nor coordinate two firms. Everything runs digitally via secure data exchange and MS Teams, in English or German, clients sit all over Germany and a visit to the office is never necessary.
