Accounting and tax services in Turkey

Situations to discuss

For owners of operating companies: we discuss the context and possible scope, not guaranteed outcomes.

• A new product, client contract or market.
• Import, export or a change in payment geography.
• More employees, a new office or expanded business activity.
• Changes in ownership, director or signatory.
• A task spanning accounting, tax, bank and corporate teams.
• Regular task coordination and owner reporting.

Scope of support

Work is defined around your task and agreed before starting. Specialists are involved where their authority and professional assessment are needed.

• Gather the business context and available documents.
• Coordinate an agreed work plan and responsibilities with existing providers.
• Accounting, tax, payroll and corporate tasks within the agreed scope.
• Document preparation and coordination for bank enquiries; the bank makes its decisions.
• New-project and expansion planning: dependencies, documents and specialist involvement.

Working with your existing team

You do not need to replace your accountant, lawyer or other providers. Agree who prepares, checks, submits documents and reports to the owner. Handover or reconstruction is considered only if separately requested, not as the default first step.

Three steps

One-off projects and ongoing support are agreed separately.

1. 01

   Context: describe the activity, owners, current team and new task.

2. 02

   Plan: agree scope, responsibilities, dependencies and the working format.

3. 03

   Work: carry out the agreed tasks and review the next steps together.

What to prepare for the discussion

A description of the situation and document availability is enough to start. Do not send passwords, access codes or electronic signatures through the form.

• Company activity and owners.
• Roles of the current accountant, lawyer and other providers.
• The new task, desired timing and any known external deadlines.
• Available contracts, invoices, employee and transaction records, filings, notices and electronic documents.

Language, SMMM and professional responsibility

Communication with the owner and authority to perform regulated accounting work are separate questions. Confirm who maintains the books and performs filing tasks, what professional authority is required, including the responsible SMMM where applicable, and what the engagement includes. Ask for confirmation of the responsible professional’s authority and agree how communication works.

Accounting, reporting and controls

Ongoing work follows an agreed calendar and current records. Agree what reports the owner receives, who collects primary records, how filing completion is evidenced and who responds to notices. Connect each payment or filing to its period, document and reason. New contracts, employees and activity changes are reflected in the work plan.

One-off projects, ongoing support and cost

Bring one new project or discuss regular coordination. Scope and cost are defined only after reviewing the context: transactions, staff, records, dependencies and additional tasks. Separately requested reconstruction starts with missing periods and evidence; a handover needs a document and outstanding-task inventory. There is no universal quote or timeline without that context.

Banking, tax and legal boundaries

The contract, invoice, accounting trail and explanation to the bank need to be consistent. Tax treatment and available procedures require review of the underlying facts and period. Regulated work remains the responsibility of authorised professionals; bank and regulator decisions belong to those institutions. A banking or legal outcome is not guaranteed.
