Accounting firm in Edessa

Edessa has the strongest tourism character in the region, and that shapes the accounting picture of its businesses more than anything else.

Seasonality and cash flow

Accommodation, cafes, restaurants and gift shops live with wide swings in turnover through the year. The trap is calculating profitability on the good months. In practice, obligations are spread evenly across the whole year and the problem shows up in February.

We help plan the year as a whole: how much of the season must be set aside for contributions, for the tax instalment and for next July’s prepayment.

Staff and ERGANI

Seasonal employment in tourism comes with frequent changes of hours and part-time hires. Every change needs a filing, and every undeclared change is an opportunity for a penalty in an inspection. We handle the payroll and all the ERGANI filings that go with it.

Short-term property rental

The town has a significant number of properties offered for short-term rental. That activity requires registration in the Short-Term Stay Property Register, declaration of the rentals and correct reporting on the E2 — and it changes depending on whether services are provided.

We serve Edessa mainly remotely, with documents sent electronically and appointments in Giannitsa whenever a face-to-face discussion is needed.

Processing and small-scale production

Beyond tourism, Edessa and the surrounding settlements have agricultural processing units and small workshops. For these the critical point is costing: what the cost per unit really is once raw material, labour, energy and equipment depreciation are included. Without that figure, prices are set roughly and the loss only becomes visible when the year closes.

We track costs during the year and give you a picture of the result while you can still influence it.
