Accounting and Legal Services in One Package

Legal basis for outsourcing

• the head of a company may delegate bookkeeping under a contract to a specialised organisation — an audit firm, tax consultants and others (Article 11 of the Law "On Accounting");
• an audit firm may keep the books as a related service, but then it does not audit that period (Articles 33 and 34 of Law ZRU-677 "On Auditing Activity").

Where accounting meets law

How the subject of a contract is worded affects when revenue is recognised. The payment terms affect whether an expense is supported. Penalty clauses affect the tax base.

That is why it makes sense to review a contract before signing rather than reconstruct its logic after the fact.

• review of contracts before signing
• documenting transactions with counterparties
• HR documents and settlements with employees
• preparing replies to requests from authorities
• support in disputes over settlements

What the combined format gives you

One point of contact: you describe the task, and the provider takes care of how the work is split internally.

There are fewer situations where a lawyer agreed to a clause the accounting team heard about last.

How the work is organised

We keep the books and prepare the reporting, and we look at legal questions together with their accounting and tax consequences. The scope of services is fixed in the contract.

We do not hand out individual legal decisions as ready-made answers: we explain how the issue works, the risks and the options, and the decision is made by the head of the company.

Why combining the two functions is convenient

Most accounting issues start with a contract. When contract work and accounting are handled by separate, unconnected providers, the company learns about the consequences of the terms only after the fact.

Combining them makes it possible to check the wording before signing and understand in advance how a transaction will be reflected in the financial statements.

• review of contracts before signing
• consistent documentation of transactions
• a single approach to documents
• preparing replies to requests

Where the combination makes the biggest difference

When working with new counterparties, with non-standard payment terms, in disputes with partners and when preparing replies to incoming requests.

In these situations, the company's position rests on its documents, and their consistency matters more than what was said in correspondence.

How to split responsibilities

The legal side is responsible for the structure of the transaction and its paperwork; the accounting side for recording and supporting it correctly. The shared area is the set of documents for each transaction.

It is worth putting the boundaries in writing; otherwise part of the work will inevitably end up belonging to no one.

What this gives the business

Fewer gaps between how a transaction was planned, documented and recorded. Less time spent on approvals and fewer surprises during inspections.

We work in this combined way and discuss contentious terms before signing, not after.

How the fee is set

The accounting part is priced by workload — the number of documents and areas. The legal part is usually priced by task: supporting contract work, preparing documents, analysing a dispute.

Combining them in a single line is inconvenient: the volumes change independently of each other.

We quote the fees separately so that you understand what you pay for regularly and what is paid per request.

This separate pricing also helps with planning: the accounting part stays predictable month to month, while the legal workload changes with the company's activity.

We discuss the expected volume of legal tasks in advance to avoid a situation where the work is done but the parties understand the payment terms differently.
