Audit of financial statements and accounting reviews
We prepare you for the statutory audit, and independent accounting reviews give you the certainty that everything is in order – before an inspection comes looking.
What we take care of
We are accountants, not an audit firm – and that works in your favour. The statutory audit is carried out by a licensed auditor we have worked with for years; we prepare the complete documentation, reconcile the books, answer the auditor's questions and coordinate the whole process. The audit then runs smoothly, without dragging on and without holding you up.
Beyond preparing you for the statutory audit, we also carry out internal accounting reviews and due diligence. With an independent eye we check that the bookkeeping is correct, that the processes are properly set up and where the risks lie – whether you are taking over the books from someone else, preparing to sell the company, or simply want the certainty that everything is in order.
The output is more than a statement of facts. You receive a clear report with specific findings and proposed corrective measures – and if you wish, we see their implementation through with you.
Why entrust your audits and reviews to us
- A smooth audit - We prepare the documentation and talk to the auditor – the audit doesn't slow you down.
- An independent eye - Internal reviews catch errors and risks before an inspection finds them.
- Findings in plain language - Findings come in a clear report with proposed fixes, not in accounting jargon.
- Fixes seen through to the end - We help implement the recommendations, too – from correcting entries to new processes.

Frequently asked questions about audits and reviews
When is a company required to have an audit?
When it exceeds at least two of the three size criteria (assets, turnover, headcount) in two consecutive accounting periods – the exact figures are listed above. We are happy to check, free of charge, whether the audit applies to you.
What is the difference between a statutory audit and an internal review?
A statutory audit is the legally required verification of financial statements by a licensed auditor. An internal review is a voluntary check for your own purposes – you define its scope and focus yourself.
Do you perform the statutory audit yourselves?
By law, a statutory audit may only be performed by a licensed auditor. We prepare and coordinate the whole process and work with vetted auditors – for you it is a single turnkey service.
When is an internal accounting review worthwhile?
Most often when changing accountants, before selling the company, after rapid growth, or on suspicion of errors. An independent view gives you certainty before a tax inspection finds any shortcomings.
What if the review uncovers errors?
You receive them ranked by risk, each with a proposed solution. We can put correcting entries, supplementary tax returns and process changes in place together with you – and set things up so the same problems don't recur.
Do you carry out due diligence when buying a company?
Yes – an accounting and tax review of the target company, including its liabilities, contracts and risks. The report serves as the basis for the price and for the warranties in the contract.
