What the price of outsourcing depends on
- Tax regime. Accounting under VAT and corporate income tax (profit tax) is more complex than under turnover tax.
- Number of transactions. Bank statements, invoices, acceptance certificates: the more there are, the more work.
- Number of employees. Each employee means payroll, personal income tax (PIT), social tax and reporting.
- Foreign trade. Foreign currency contracts, the Unified Electronic Information System for Foreign Trade Operations (EEISVO) and exchange rate differences add work.
- Industry. Trade, manufacturing and construction are more complex than services.
Which is more cost-effective
For a small company, outsourcing is almost always cheaper: for the price of one in-house accountant you get a team that doesn't go on vacation and is liable for errors under the contract. An in-house accountant makes sense when there are so many transactions that you need someone in the office every day. More in our article "Outsourcing or an in-house accountant".
