Services
What we do for tech companies.
01
Financial Accounting & Payroll
Ongoing bookkeeping and payroll, fully digital via DATEV. You get numbers you can rely on — on time, even when things are moving fast in your company.
02
Annual Financial Statements & Taxes
GmbH, UG, GbR — we know the structures that occur in the startup environment. From creation to submission to the tax office, everything goes through us.
03
VSOP & Employee Share Ownership
VSOP, real shares, phantom shares — each model has different tax consequences for companies and employees. We classify the variations and support the ongoing execution.
04
Investor Reporting
Evaluations and key metrics in the format investors expect — monthly or quarterly. This ensures the numbers are ready when the next round comes, not after.
05
R&D Funding & Research Allowance
Funding under the FZulG is paid out regardless of profit — even during the loss phase. We assess whether your project is eligible and assist you with the application and proof.
06
Business Consulting
Liquidity planning, shareholder resolutions, tax structuring before taking major steps. We think ahead before decisions are made — not after.
Convertible loans are simple — until they are converted.
A convertible loan combines financing, valuation, and equity participation. We ensure that conversion, cap table, and tax consequences align from the very beginning.
