Accounting & Tax Compliance

Bookkeeping, VAT, VIES, payroll, audit coordination and corporate tax returns.

What we do

We keep the books, file the returns and get the accounts through the audit. Bookkeeping, VAT and VIES, payroll, IFRS financial statements, the corporate tax return and the provisional assessment, on fixed annual fees set from what your company actually does.

Nothing here is charged before you need it. VAT starts from the month you register, payroll from the month of your first employee, and a company that has not begun trading is not paying for bookkeeping it does not have.

What you get

  • Bookkeeping through the year, and everything the auditor will ask for assembled alongside it
  • IFRS financial statements, and the independent audit or review coordinated to completion
  • The corporate income tax return, and the provisional assessment timed to when your figures are reliable
  • VAT registration and quarterly returns, with VIES where you supply businesses elsewhere in the EU
  • One Stop Shop registration where you sell digital services or goods to consumers elsewhere in the EU
  • Payroll: monthly runs, PAYE, social insurance and the annual employer return
  • Employer and employee registrations, and employment contracts drafted
  • Management accounts where you need numbers more often than once a year
  • Multi-currency handling: revaluation at each period end, separate bank feeds, translation into your presentation currency

How it works

The audit sits on the critical path for everything else. The tax return depends on the financial statements, the statements depend on the books, and the books depend on records reaching us during the year rather than in a box afterwards. The auditor is independent of us, as the law requires, so what we control is having everything ready the day they ask for it.

Since financial years beginning on or after 6 February 2026 a smaller private company can take a review engagement instead of a full audit, where net turnover is below 300,000 euro and gross assets below 500,000 euro for two consecutive years. A review is performed by the same licensed auditors and is ordinarily cheaper. Public companies, regulated entities and groups preparing consolidated accounts stay within full audit whatever their size. We tell you which side you are on before the year starts.

Provisional tax is a judgement with a cost attached. Underestimating by more than the permitted margin attracts an additional charge, and the companies that pay it are the ones that had a better year than they forecast. We time the assessment for the point when your figures mean something.

Working with us

Four steps, and the first one is a conversation

  1. A call

    What you sell, to whom and where, roughly how many transactions a month, and whether you have employees. No charge for it.

  2. A proposal in writing

    Fixed annual fees for the work your activity actually calls for, and nothing for the work it does not.

  3. You accept

    Engagement letter signed, then onboarding. Neither takes long.

  4. The year runs itself

    Records collected as they arise, the auditor's questions anticipated rather than chased, and each filing prepared ahead of its date rather than against it.

Common questions

Do we have to register for VAT?

More companies do than expect to. Receiving services from abroad triggers registration at a zero threshold, so a company with no Cyprus customers at all can still be required to register. Tell us what you buy and sell and to whom, and we will tell you which registrations apply before you are late for one.

Does every Cyprus company need an audit?

Every Cyprus company needs an assurance engagement by a licensed statutory auditor. From financial years beginning on or after 6 February 2026, a private company below 300,000 euro net turnover and 500,000 euro gross assets for two consecutive years can take a review engagement instead, which is lighter and cheaper. It is a smaller obligation rather than an exemption.

Can you use our existing bookkeeper or software?

Usually, yes. What matters is that the records arrive in a form the auditor can work from, and that they arrive during the year rather than after it. Where you already have that running we work with it rather than replacing it.

What if the company is not trading yet?

Then almost none of this applies yet, and you are not charged as though it did. VAT starts from the month you register, payroll from the month of your first employee. Neither appears on an invoice before that.

What follows

The classification in the books is what later supports the position in the return. Where you claim the intellectual property regime, qualifying and overall expenditure are tracked per asset as the year runs, because the nexus fraction is cumulative and a year of poor records is not recoverable afterwards.

Where entities in the group charge each other, transfer pricing documentation is reviewed alongside the accounts each year, and the statutory filings sit with corporate administration.

Find out whether Cyprus fits your plans

It starts with three questions: where your revenue comes from, what you own, and where you are tax resident. From there, the conversation is about what you are building and where you want to take it. After the call, you receive a written proposal covering the recommended structure, the implementation roadmap, and a fixed fee quote.
