Do I need an accountant?
Does your accountant have authorization?
If you decide to use an external accountant, you must ensure that you purchase the service from an authorised accounting firm. The Financial Supervisory Authority maintains a register of authorised accounting firms. If you are unsure whether they are authorised, you can check the Financial Supervisory Authority's registry of licenced entities yourself.
External accounting
When you use an external accountant, you must notify the Register of Legal Entities of the person who will act as your accountant. You can do this either when you register your company or at a later date by giving notice of a change in the registered information. Notification of both the registration and the change is given using the form entitled Coordinated register notification. In the notification, the accounting firm must confirm that it has accepted the assignment by signing the notification electronically.
Internal accounting
If you employ a person and pay them a salary for keeping your accounts, the person concerned does not need to be state authorised as an accountant.
