This is how it works
Are we a match?
Just click on "Get free initial consultation" and find out immediately if we can offer you the Kontist tax service. You can also find all the details in our FAQ section further down on this page. Of course, the initial consultation is completely free of charge and without obligation. You will only incur costs if you decide to actually book the tax service later.
Welcome!
If you decide to book the Kontist tax service, we will ask you a few more questions about your self-employment during our onboarding (e.g. your tax number, responsible local tax authority, etc.). Of course, we will be happy to answer your questions as well!
Open your business bank account
After that, Kontist GmbH will ask you to open your Kontist business bank account in just 9 minutes. Your account is immediately opened, already included in the fixed fee without any additional costs and it is a prerequisite to use the tax service. If you already have a Kontist business account, we will automatically ask you only the tax questions.
More time to grow your business.
Now lean back, we are taking over: Invest the time you've gained in your business or use it for whatever is important to you. Of course, your tax service team will contact you if there are any questions or if there is something to discuss. You always have full control over your tax topics without having to handle them yourself.
The solution for financial organization
Taxes, bookkeeping and banking in one app
Kontist's mission is to make life easier for the self-employed. For this purpose, Kontist GmbH has not only rethought banking, but also tax advisory. Our cornerstone is the business bank account provided by Kontist GmbH: it automatically records and categorizes all of your transactions and calculates your tax load, in other words, your real net. In order to make payments convenient and secure, your business account also includes a physical and virtual Visa card, as well as mobile payment options. This makes it easy for Kontist Service GmbH to relieve you of the preparatory financial accounting – an accounting tool is no longer necessary. Therefore, the business bank account provided by Kontist GmbH is required for the tax service and included in the fixed fee.
Your experienced tax advisor of Kontist Steuerberatungsgesellschaft mbH is right at your side for all tax consulting services, handling your tax-related tasks and communicating with the tax authority on your behalf. Without paperwork.

For additional activities outside of the offer, additional costs may be incurred by prior arrangement (see following questions).

What about services for the calendar year of 2020?
If you have booked the Kontist tax service until 31.12.2020, you already secured yourself the monthly fixed fee of 99 € plus VAT.

For customers who book the tax service from January 2021, the regular price of 149 € per month plus VAT applies. If you would like Kontist Steuerberatung to take over services for the year 2020 (e.g. commercial or private tax declaration, P&L), all monthly fees for 2020 (i.e. 99 € per month for January to December 2020) are due retrospectively.
