Below, we have summarised what you should pay attention to when looking for a new accounting firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The handover is not your responsibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When taking over a company, we cooperate directly with the previous accountant to manage the handover. This means that opening balances, general ledger balances, fixed asset records and the status of tax returns are reconciled at a professional level \u2014 you do not need to act as an intermediary between the two offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ask what is included in the fee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comparing accounting fees only makes sense if you know exactly what is included. Our accounting fee includes representation before the authorities, payroll services for up to three employees at no additional charge, as well as the preparation of personal income tax returns for executive officers. We do not charge a separate consultation fee: if you have a question, you can call us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The price is not based on company size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our pricing is based on the amount of work required, not on the size of the company. A business with only a few accounting documents requires a different level of work than a multi-site company issuing a large number of invoices \u2014 therefore, we determine the fee individually after a consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check how your data is handled<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our office, data is not stored on local servers, but on servers operated by a hosting provider specialised specifically in accounting firms. This ensures data security as well as reliable and legally compliant use of the software. Access to source documents can be provided both in traditional paper form and through software integrations; where possible, invoices and bank statements are booked automatically from electronically generated data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would You Like to Switch?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact us at <a href=\"mailto:mertium@mertium.hu\">mertium@mertium.hu<\/a> or see the phone numbers available on our <a href=\"\/en\/contact\/\">Contact<\/a> page. We also provide consulting and accounting review services to companies and private individuals who are not regular clients of our office.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A k\u00f6nyvel\u0151v\u00e1lt\u00e1s sok v\u00e1llalkoz\u00e1s sz\u00e1m\u00e1ra t\u0171nik kock\u00e1zatos l\u00e9p\u00e9snek, pedig egy j\u00f3l el\u0151k\u00e9sz\u00edtett \u00e1tad\u00e1s-\u00e1tv\u00e9tel n\u00e9h\u00e1ny h\u00e9t alatt, fennakad\u00e1s n\u00e9lk\u00fcl lezajlik.
