Financial accounting for GmbHs.
Kept current. Built to scale.
Ongoing financial accounting, reconciliations, monthly close and reporting for German companies that need more than a year-end clean-up.
The books should not become a monthly project.
Invoices arrive. Payments are made. Customers pay late. Expenses need to be allocated. Accounts need to be reconciled. And management still needs to know how the business is actually performing. We structure the recurring accounting process so that these tasks happen continuously instead of accumulating until month-end or year-end.
What ongoing financial accounting includes.
Ongoing Financial Accounting
Current recording of business transactions based on agreed workflows and responsibilities.
Accounts Payable & Receivable
Structured processing and monitoring of supplier and customer positions.
Bank & Account Reconciliation
Regular reconciliation helps identify differences and unresolved positions before they accumulate.
Monthly Close
Defined cut-offs and recurring closing steps create a reliable monthly financial picture.
Reporting
P&L, balance sheet and relevant management information presented in a format management can actually use.
Annual Accounts & Tax
The ongoing accounting feeds directly into year-end work and ongoing tax compliance.
Built around your GmbH.
No two companies generate exactly the same accounting workload. The setup depends on transaction volume · number of bank accounts · payment providers · employees · foreign transactions · intercompany relationships · reporting requirements · financing structure. We define scope and responsibilities before taking over.

Changing accounting provider?
Switching should not mean losing visibility for three months. We review the existing setup, obtain the relevant data and balances, identify unresolved items and agree a cut-over date. Where necessary, we coordinate the transition with the previous provider.
Full or Partial Outsourcing
Hand over the whole finance function or only the parts that create friction today.
Accounting, tax and legal where they intersect.
A shareholder loan is not simply another booking. Neither is an acquisition, capital contribution, restructuring or management participation programme. Where an accounting issue has a tax or legal dimension, the relevant workstreams can be coordinated within CLIQ rather than passed between disconnected advisers.
