Accountant for businesses in Essen

An entrepreneur in Essen ordering from an overseas supplier needs more than the final payment amount. The invoice, delivery information and contracting party must remain identifiable after the purchase.

Preparing records for overseas suppliers

A first order may involve a pro forma document, deposit and final invoice. Care is needed to avoid recording an amount twice. Bocon can discuss which documents to retain and which questions to check before ordering. A foreign trading name or currency alone does not determine the transaction's accounting or tax treatment.

Accounting support from Antwerp

Bocon discusses accounting, taxation and business questions with sole traders and SMEs. For your business in Essen, we first review your activities and existing administration. The scenario on this page is illustrative, not a published client case.

Prepare for your first discussion

  • The order and final invoice
  • Deposit and payment evidence
  • Available delivery or transport information

Questions for your first meeting

Can I treat a pro forma invoice like the final invoice?

First establish which document you received and what it is for. Keep the order, payment and final delivery linked so that the complete transaction can be assessed.
