German Accounting & HGB Financial Statements

Bookkeeping in Germany (GoBD) and HGB annual financial statements — with optional US GAAP/IFRS group packs. English-first delivery, tax-ready ledgers, and fixed timelines.

We support U.S. and international companies operating in Germany with monthly bookkeeping, HGB financials, cash-basis (EÜR) where eligible, and IFRS/group reporting. Your data flows straight into VAT, corporate and trade tax filings — no duplicate effort.

What we do (overview)

  • Monthly bookkeeping in Germany (AR/AP, banks, travel/expense), GoBD-compliant.
  • HGB management accounts & year-end; audit-ready workpapers.
  • IFRS/US GAAP mapping & consolidation support.
  • EÜR (cash-basis) where eligible, with switch-over support.
  • English/German delivery, close calendars, and stakeholder alignment.

For principles and examples, see our German Bookkeeping & Accounting Guide.

Bookkeeping in Germany (GoBD)

We run a monthly ledger that meets GoBD: correctness, completeness, immutability, timely recording, system documentation & audit-proof exports. Typical scope: invoice review, bank reconciliations, support schedules for VAT & income taxes.

German GAAP (HGB): monthly & year-end

We prepare HGB trial balances, P&L and balance sheets with required postings and disclosures. If you compare frameworks, our HGB guide covers recognition, measurement, and common adjustments.

Cash-basis accounting (EÜR)

Eligible small businesses may use EÜR. We implement EÜR correctly (VAT under cash collections) and document when a switch to HGB accruals becomes necessary. Details in our cash-basis guide.

IFRS & group reporting

We maintain HGB ledgers with mapping layers, build reconciliation bridges, and prepare group packs on your timetable. See our group/IFRS overview.

Tax hand-off: VAT, corporate & trade tax

Your monthly ledger powers compliance without rework. We prepare VAT pre-returns/annual VAT and hand off clean trial balances for corporate income and trade tax (or handle filings within our tax practice).

FAQ

Do you work under HGB and IFRS/US GAAP?

Yes. We keep HGB ledgers and — if needed — prepare IFRS/US GAAP group packs with clear mappings and reconciliation schedules.

Can you handle cash-basis (EÜR)?

Yes. We implement EÜR correctly (incl. VAT) and support transitions to HGB when thresholds or legal form require it.

English delivery? German-language filings?

Both. We serve international management teams in English and provide German deliverables for filings and audits.
