We keep business books for Serbian companies and entrepreneurs who use double-entry bookkeeping. The agreed scope can include bank statements, invoices, SEF records, tax returns, payroll and annual financial statements. The quote is based on the number of documents and employees, VAT status, activity and cross-border transactions. Flat-rate entrepreneurs have a separate flat-rate bookkeeping service. Foreign owners can also use the foreign founder guides for requirements specific to non-residents.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Statements, invoices and other documents can be sent electronically, and e-invoices are processed through SEF. We agree the format and deadline for every document type at the start.

Flat-rate taxpayers do not keep full business books, but they keep a KPO turnover record and monitor the flat-rate and VAT thresholds. This work is covered by the separate flat-rate bookkeeping service.

Companies and entrepreneurs who keep books operate under the double-entry system and prepare financial statements, while flat-rate taxed entrepreneurs do not keep full books, only a KPO book, and pay determined flat-rate obligations. Based on your legal form and method of taxation we recommend and run the appropriate system.
