    What does a year-end statement cost?

    From €2,499 base fee per year plus 0.25% of annual expenses. Included: HGB balance sheet, corporate-tax return, trade-tax return, annual VAT declaration, Bundesanzeiger filing. Worked example: €1.2M annual expenses → €2,499 + €3,000 = €5,499/year.

    What's in the package

    HGB balance sheet (micro, small, medium-sized GmbH), corporate- and trade-tax returns, annual VAT declaration, Bundesanzeiger and Transparenzregister maintenance. IFRS balance sheets on request for investor DD.

    Who prepares the statement

    A licensed Steuerberater reviews and signs off on every year-end statement at APX, as part of a Steuerberatungs-Gesellschaft. Day-to-day questions run through Slack with the responsible accountant — no account manager in between.

    Frequently asked questions

    What's the difference between HGB and IFRS balance sheets?
    HGB is the German default (conservatism-principle). IFRS becomes relevant for Series B and beyond or with international investors. APX delivers both — flag during DD prep whether you need IFRS now.
    What does a year-end statement cost at APX?
    From €2,499 base fee per year plus 0.25% of annual expenses. Worked example: €1.2M annual expenses → €2,499 + €3,000 = €5,499/year for the full year-end package including corporate-tax and trade-tax returns.
    Are APX year-end statements ready for Series-A due diligence?
    Yes. Investor-ready outputs: HGB balance sheets, IFRS balance sheets (on request), Quality of Earnings, ARR/MRR tracking, deferred-revenue schedules. Our clients have used these to close up to Series C.
    Does APX handle the Bundesanzeiger filing?
    Yes. We handle the on-time filing of either the deposit-only (Hinterlegung) or full-publication (Offenlegung) version at the Bundesanzeiger, plus Transparenzregister updates.
    How long does APX take to prepare a year-end statement?
    4–8 weeks from full data handover, depending on size and complexity. Data-collection phase 1–2 weeks, preparation 2–3 weeks, review and sign-off 1–2 weeks, filing immediately after.
    Are corporate-tax and trade-tax returns included?
    Yes, included in the package: balance sheet + corporate-tax return + trade-tax return + annual VAT declaration. (Monthly VAT pre-declarations are part of the bookkeeping service, not year-end.)
    Does APX handle year-end for holding structures?
    Yes. We prepare separate year-end statements for each entity in the structure (holding + operating company) and reconcile intercompany flows. For multi-tier holdings, we coordinate bookkeeping across all entities.
