Are you looking for a tax advisor? We’ll put you in touch.
You tell us about your business, and we conduct the initial consultation and identify what your company needs. Then we put you in touch with a tax advisor we work with. The initial consultation and introduction are free.
You’re starting a business, taking over an existing one, or making a fresh start and need a tax advisor right from the start.

Years behind on your books? We’ll get your books in order, and the tax advisor prepares the returns on your behalf.

Process
Here’s how it works
Submit a request
The questionnaire below takes about 3 minutes.
Initial consultation with us
We talk for 20 to 30 minutes by phone or video call. This is an assessment of your needs, not tax advice.
Proposal
We suggest a tax advisor we work with. You work with them remotely. With your consent, we’ll share with them what you tell us during the initial consultation about your industry, company size, language, and work style.
Handover with your consent
You’ll sign the contract directly with the tax advisor and grant them power of attorney for the tax office. If you also have GKM keep your books, you’ll receive the power of attorney online in the client portal for your signature and will only need to upload receipts once.
Key details
What we cover in the initial consultation
Legal form and whether you need a cash-basis income statement or a balance sheet
The tax advisor will answer any tax-related questions. We’ll make sure they fully understand your needs before they get started.
Why GKM
Why use GKM
01
A personal consultation
You’ll speak with someone who understands bookkeeping, rather than having your request sold anonymously to tax firms.
02
Accurate, reconciled figures
When GKM handles your bookkeeping, the tax advisor receives reconciled financial records and can get started right away.
03
Clear division of roles
Bookkeeping and taxes fit together, while the tasks stay separate. You’ll have one point of contact with us for receipts, bookkeeping, and appointments, while the tax advisor answers your tax questions.

Your request
Four quick steps, about 3 minutes in total. Required fields are marked; everything else helps us prepare well for the initial consultation.
Frequently asked questions about contacting a tax advisor
Is there a cost?
No. The initial consultation and proposal are free. The tax advisor bills you directly for their services, either under the StBVV, the statutory fee schedule for tax advisors, or under a fee agreement with them.
Do I have to use GKM for my bookkeeping?
No. You can handle the bookkeeping yourself, stay with your current firm, or switch to us later. Many clients use both, because then everything runs as one process.
How soon will I receive a proposal?
That depends on your needs. If you have letters from the tax office, we’ll forward them to the tax advisor right away with your consent; they’ll clarify which deadlines are running. We’ll schedule the initial consultation directly with you.
What if the tax advisor isn’t a good fit?
Just let us know. You’re not bound by our recommendation. If you choose a different tax advisor, we’ll work with them as well.
What happens to my data?
We use your information for the initial consultation. We only share with the tax advisor what they need to prepare a quote, and only with your consent. More in our privacy policy.
