Inside the book
This book is for international self-employed people, freelancers and founders who run a business in Germany. It explains German bookkeeping and accounting in plain English: what happens in your business, what your numbers mean, and which questions to ask your tax adviser or accountant.
It covers revenue, profit and cash flow, the balance sheet and the profit and loss statement, receivables, liabilities and depreciation, employee costs, contribution margins and break-even. The explanations are based on business accounting in Germany (German commercial law, HGB). German terms such as EÜR are explained in plain English.
