Scope: I provide bookkeeping, accounting, payroll and consulting services within my applicable professional authorisations. Where annual tax returns, cross-border tax advice, representation before authorities or other activities go beyond this, I work with my appropriately authorised partners. This way I make sure you get everything from a single source and are always well covered.
