Frequently asked questions about BWA guidance

What is a BWA?

The BWA (betriebswirtschaftliche Auswertung) is your monthly management accounts report. It summarises a month of bookkeeping: revenue, costs and result, often compared with the previous year.

How much does the BWA guidance cost?

€50 plus VAT a month for 45 minutes. The minimum term is 3 months, after that you can cancel monthly.

Do I need firma.de's bookkeeping for this?

No, we also work with the BWA from your current tax firm. With bookkeeping at firma.de, though, it is always up to date in your account.

Who advises me on my BWA?

Our bookkeeping team. For tax questions, we bring in the partner tax firm.

Is this tax advice?

No. The BWA guidance is business advice. Tax questions are answered by our partner tax firm, for example in a tax advice session.

How do I prepare?

Send us your current BWA in advance and note down the questions that come up as you read it.
