What does working with us look like in practice?

We maintain accounting books and record transactions based on the documents you provide. The service may include a fixed asset register and the tax work specified in our agreement. We begin by discussing your legal structure, business activities and document volumes. How documents are created within your business and who sends them to us also matter. These details help us agree a scope of work that reflects how your documents are actually handled, before discussing how we will work together and the price.
We agree the preparation of the balance sheet and financial statements alongside the scope of our bookkeeping service. It is worth discussing from the outset which year-end tasks are included and which documents your business will need to provide. If certain documents are held by other people or in a separate system, tell us when making these arrangements. A clear division of tasks helps connect ongoing record-keeping with year-end work and makes clear how additional services will be charged.
We begin the handover by agreeing the period from which Balta will take over. We discuss your existing accounting system, available documents and reports, and any matters still to be completed. The list of materials depends on how your books are maintained and your business circumstances. It is worth agreeing with your previous accountants when the records will be ready and in what form. Before we begin working together, we also agree day-to-day contact arrangements and who will provide information from your business.
What will we agree at the start?
A short conversation will help us prepare an offer. The following information will be useful:
Legal structure and a brief description of the business
Number and types of documents, and how they are collected
Information about your current accounting system and available reports
The period to be covered and the ongoing and year-end work to discuss
Common questions
The scope of work, the number and type of documents, and the nature of your business. We need a brief description of your company to prepare a quote.
We agree the handover date and a list of documents and reports to transfer. The details depend on how your books are currently maintained.
We provide our services at the Balta office in Piątkowo, Poznań, at os. Bolesława Chrobrego 7g/166. Meeting times and arrangements for sending documents are agreed individually.
