Cross-Border Tax Accountant — Bulgarian EOOD + German Zweigniederlassung — Long-term engagement
Description:
I am setting up a Bulgarian EOOD with a German Zweigniederlassung (branch) in Hamburg, and I need a qualified accountant to manage both sides — either as a single firm covering both jurisdictions, or as a primary BG accountant with a confirmed German Steuerberater partner.
This is a long-term engagement, not a one-off task. I am looking for an ongoing relationship covering setup, monthly bookkeeping, payroll, annual filings, transfer pricing documentation, and personal tax returns in both countries.
Background:
Danish citizen relocating from Ireland to Sofia, target move date 1 August 2026
Self-employed consultant supporting a Danish client in the German market
~8 days/month physical presence in Hamburg
Annual revenue approximately €180,000
Single shareholder/director (me)
Planned structure:
BG EOOD as principal entity, invoicing the Danish client
DE Zweigniederlassung in Hamburg as routine sales support service provider
Cost-plus 6% intercompany pricing, supported by benchmarking
Two modest director salaries (~€2,500/month gross from each entity)
A1 certificate via BG NSSI — social security consolidated in Bulgaria
VAT registered both sides
Required skills and experience:
You must be able to confirm hands-on experience with:
- A1 multi-state worker payroll (Lohnsteuer per German rules, social to BG)
- Cost-plus transfer pricing documentation acceptable to both NRA and Finanzamt
- §49 EStG limited tax returns including Doppelte Haushaltsführung
- DTA Article 23 exemption with progression on BG personal returns for DE-source income
- Coordination between BG accountant and DE Steuerberater (if separate firms)
- Book keeping software that is userfriendly and will let med upload fotos of receipts.
Additional it would be nice if you can help with
- Bulgarian EOOD incorporation and ongoing compliance
- German Zweigniederlassung registration (Handelsregister, Gewerbeanmeldung, USt-IdNr.)
To be considered, please respond with:
- Number of similar cross-border structures you currently support
- Names of your firm and (if applicable) your German Steuerberater partner
- Itemised pricing: one-off setup, BG annual retainer, DE annual retainer, German Steuerberater fee, BG Fee
- Confirmation of single point of contact in English
- Estimated response time for ad-hoc questions
- Two or three references (or anonymised case examples) of comparable engagements
I will share a detailed technical brief with shortlisted candidates. Generic responses without addressing the specific points above will not be considered.
Engagement format: Long-term retainer, paid monthly or quarterly. Initial scoping call required before contract.
