Four steps to a working accounting function
You describe the entity, headcount and reporting needs; we send a proposal with scope and monthly deliverables.
We collect the books from the previous accountant, reconcile balances, register access to tax systems and the bank.
Documents, payroll, tax returns and the management pack on a fixed calendar, in English for the head office.
Statutory statements, IFRS package for the group, support during the group audit and tax inspections.
An accounting firm with an auditor’s discipline
We are a licensed audit firm listed in the Ukrainian audit register, so the books we keep are prepared to withstand an audit, a tax inspection or a donor review.
Reports, correspondence and calls with your head office in English. We work with subsidiaries and representative offices of companies from the EU, the UK, the US and Asia.
Member of an international network of accounting firms, which means familiar standards for your group auditor and a partner firm in your home country if needed.
Accounting services in Kyiv and remote work across Ukraine
Our office is on Tarasivska Street in Kyiv, and most clients come to us for accounting services in Kyiv: a meeting, handover of documents, signing of monthly acts. At the same time we keep books remotely for companies anywhere in Ukraine and for representative offices whose head office sits abroad. Secure document exchange, qualified electronic signature and the monthly reporting pack work the same way for a client in Kyiv and for a client in Lviv or Odesa.
Day to day bookkeeping, primary documents, bank operations, statutory financial statements and all tax returns filed on time by a named accountant.
Salaries, personal income tax, military levy, social contribution, sick leave and annual leave, plus HR records. More: payroll outsourcing in Ukraine.
We are an audit firm first, in the Ukrainian auditors register under No. 4624 and a member of DFK International, so every ledger we keep is reviewed the way an auditor would review it.
What foreign clients ask first
Do you provide accounting services in Kyiv only, or across Ukraine?
Both. The office is in Kyiv, so meetings and document handover happen there, and we keep books remotely for clients in any Ukrainian city as well as for representative offices of foreign companies.
Can we outsource only part of the accounting function?
Yes. Payroll and the primary documents ledger are the parts most often outsourced on their own. We agree the journal entry format with your accountant at the start.
Can you keep the books in English and report to our head office?
Statutory books and tax returns are kept in Ukrainian as the law requires, but the monthly management pack, IFRS package and all communication are in English. Your head office deals with us directly.
Do you handle payroll for a small Ukrainian team?
Yes. Payroll outsourcing in Ukraine is a standard part of our service for teams from one employee upwards: salaries, taxes, social contribution, sick leave, vacation and the related reporting.
We have a representative office, not a company. Does that change anything?
A representative office has its own tax and reporting rules in Ukraine. We keep books for representative offices and know the specifics of their registration, taxation and reporting to the parent.
How quickly can you take over the accounting?
Usually within 30 days: we collect the books, reconcile balances with the previous provider, set up access and start the monthly cycle. If the books need restoration, we agree a separate plan first.
