Polish regulations can be complex and ambiguous and the formal requirements can be rather restrictive.

At Sterling Accounting we can guide you through the most important tax laws in order to avoid common mistakes in areas such as the issuing of VAT invoices or posting costs to minimise tax burdens.

Our Charges

The cost of service in English starts from PLN 2000 (1 month), however, due to the varied needs and expectations of our foreign clients, the level of price for accounting services in English is negotiated individually during a meeting where detailed terms of cooperation are agreed.

The price of accounting services is influenced mainly by the number of accounting documents in a given month (mainly purchase and sales invoices), but also by factors such as: type of business (service, trade, production), the level of complexity of entries in the books, the number of fixed assets, the number of bank accounts and foreign currency cash reports, settlements in foreign currencies, import / export, number of branches, additional services, individual specificity of activity.
