An independent accounting comparison and research guide. We publish informational comparison content about accounting providers; we do not provide accounting, tax, payroll or financial advisory services.
Country-by-country guides to European accounting markets: professional bodies and registers, local titles, service categories, languages, software and the providers recorded in each market.
Each market is described in its own terms: which activities are regulated, which professional titles exist locally, what the recurring compliance calendar looks like, which languages providers publish in, and which software they work with. Provider coverage is shown per market, and the guides state clearly that not every provider operates everywhere.
Country pages provide general market information for research purposes. They do not provide individualised tax advice, they do not recommend a structure for your business, and they do not state a tax strategy for any visitor. Register references are links to the official national registers.
Local, national, multi-country and international
Service is described as limited to a city or region, usually because the firm works on site or with local authorities.
Service covers one country. Most recorded providers in this directory are in this category.
The provider names several European countries in which it operates, either through its own offices or through a network.
Cross-border service described as global, or service to clients in jurisdictions outside Europe as a standing part of the offer.
