Why foreign clients contact us
Most people do not search for an accountant because they want bookkeeping. They have a concrete problem.
If one of these sounds familiar, the conversation can start there.
I need to change my current accountant.
We can plan the handover, identify the records that need to be transferred and establish a new workflow without treating the company as if it were starting from zero.
My company sells to or buys from other countries.
Cross-border VAT and accounting depend on the actual transaction. We ask what is sold, where the counterparties are established and how the transaction is documented before advising on the treatment.
I am VAT registered - or I am unsure whether I should be.
VAT accounting can be part of the monthly service. Registration questions and non-standard cases are reviewed against the company's real turnover and transaction profile.
I have employees in Bulgaria.
Payroll and personnel administration can be integrated with the monthly accounting service, including payroll calculations and recurring declarations within the agreed scope.
I run an online store, service business or document-heavy operation.
We use online document processing and digital workflows so accounting does not depend on moving paper folders between offices.
1. Bookkeeping and document processing
Invoices, receipts, bank documents and other accounting records need to be classified and recorded correctly. The important part is not data entry by itself, but keeping a consistent accounting trail so later VAT filings, payroll, annual reporting and tax work are based on the same records.
2. Recurring declarations and deadlines
Depending on the company, recurring work can include VAT reporting, payroll-related declarations and other statutory submissions. We agree what is included before the work starts, so you know what the accounting office is responsible for and what information we still need from you.
3. VAT accounting
If the company is VAT registered, VAT is part of the monthly accounting cycle. For ordinary domestic transactions this may be routine. Cross-border services, EU transactions, e-commerce, imports or exports can require a closer look at the actual commercial flow.
4. Payroll and personnel administration
If the company has employees, payroll is not separate from the financial picture. Salary calculations, employer obligations and recurring reporting can be included in the service, with scope determined by headcount and employment arrangements.
5. Annual closing and financial statements
Year-end work is easier when the monthly records have been maintained consistently. Our approach is to keep the books organised throughout the year, rather than discover missing documents and unresolved transactions only when the annual close begins.
6. Questions during the year
Business owners rarely call only to ask whether an invoice was booked. They ask whether a transaction has VAT implications, what document is missing, whether payroll has changed, what to provide to a bank, or how a new activity affects the accounting workflow. That is why direct access to an accountant who knows the company matters.
Already have a Bulgarian company and want to know what the monthly accounting would cost?
Email four facts: activity, document volume, VAT status and employees. We can start from there.
What you normally send us
Accounting becomes easier when the document flow is clear from the first month.
The exact list depends on the business, but these are the document groups we normally need to understand.
Revenue documents
- issued invoices and credit notes;
- sales reports where applicable;
- platform or marketplace reports for e-commerce;
- information about cancelled or corrected invoices.
Supplier and expense documents
- supplier invoices;
- receipts and expense documents;
- contracts or supporting documents when the transaction is not obvious;
- information about business versus personal use where relevant.
Payments and accounts
- bank statements;
- payment-provider statements;
- merchant or card processor reports;
- information for loans, owner funding or unusual transfers.
Employees
- new hires and terminations;
- salary changes;
- leave and absence information;
- other payroll data required for the agreed service.
International transactions
- country of customer or supplier;
- VAT number where relevant;
- type of goods or services;
- transport or delivery information where relevant.
Events we need to know about
- new activity or sales channel;
- new bank account;
- new employee;
- significant asset purchase, financing or unusual contract.
VAT and cross-border accounting
“We invoice abroad” is not enough information to decide the VAT treatment.
For international businesses, we first need to understand what the company actually sells and to whom.
Domestic Bulgarian transactions
For ordinary local transactions, the accounting and VAT treatment is usually straightforward once the business model and documents are clear.
Services to EU businesses
The location and status of the customer, the nature of the service and the invoice information matter. We review the transaction before deciding how it should appear in the accounting and VAT reporting.
Goods within the EU
Goods transactions may require additional evidence and reporting depending on the direction of the movement, counterparties and VAT status. Transport and delivery documentation can become important.
Online stores and marketplaces
E-commerce can combine platform reports, payment processors, multiple countries, refunds and different VAT scenarios. The first task is to map the actual sales flow before automating the accounting.
Imports and exports
Customs documents, transport records and payment information may be relevant. We need the full transaction package, not only the commercial invoice.
VAT registration questions
Registration is not something we determine from one number without context. Turnover, the type of supplies and cross-border activity can all matter, so we review the facts before giving a conclusion.
Have a specific VAT or international transaction question?
Send the countries involved, what is being sold and how the invoice is issued. A concrete transaction gets a more useful answer than “we trade internationally”.
Remote accounting in Bulgaria
You can work with a Plovdiv accountant without delivering folders to the office every month.
We map the company
Activity, VAT status, employees, banks, document volume, countries and current accounting position.
We agree how documents arrive
The recurring workflow is set according to the type and volume of documents, including digital document exchange.
Accounting and filings
We process the records and complete the recurring work included in the agreed scope.
You have a direct contact
When something changes, you explain it to an accountant who already knows the company's accounting context.
We first understand the current accounting position.
We need to know what the company does, whether it is VAT registered, whether it has employees, where the current records are held and whether there are immediate filing or year-end deadlines.
We define the handover package.
Depending on the company, this can involve accounting databases or exports, source documents, payroll information, opening balances, tax records and other working files needed to continue the accounting correctly.
We agree a clear cut-off date.
The old and new accounting periods should not overlap ambiguously. A clear handover date makes it easier to know which accountant is responsible for which period and filing cycle.
Then we build the new recurring workflow.
The objective is not simply to move historical files. It is to create a better monthly process for documents, deadlines and questions going forward.
Published 2026 pricing
How much do accounting services cost?
The public Bulgarian site publishes starting packages. A foreign-owned company is not automatically more expensive, but document volume, VAT, employees and transaction complexity affect the final fee.
The figures below should be updated whenever the main site's public price page changes.
| Plan | Monthly price | Typical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Start - not VAT registered | €107 | Lower document volume, no VAT registration. |
| Standard - VAT registered | €268 | Published plan for a smaller VAT-registered company, up to the stated document limit on the main site. |
| Business Pro | €511 | Higher document volume; published plan includes payroll service. |
| Corporate | Individual quote | Higher-volume or more complex accounting, reporting or transaction structures. |
Good fit / poor fit
We would rather tell you where the service fits than promise to be “the right accountant for everyone”.
This service is a good fit if:
- you own or manage a Bulgarian company;
- you want communication in English;
- you need recurring accounting, VAT or payroll;
- you want digital document exchange;
- you value direct access to the accountant;
- you have cross-border transactions that require context, not template answers.
It may not be the right fit if:
- you are looking only for the lowest possible monthly fee;
- you want bookkeeping without providing the necessary documents or transaction information;
- you expect legal representation outside the scope of an accounting firm;
- you need a statutory audit engagement rather than accounting services;
- you want advice on a transaction without disclosing how it actually works.

Detailed FAQ
Questions foreign business owners ask before hiring an accountant in Bulgaria.
Do I legally need an accountant for a Bulgarian company?
A Bulgarian company has accounting and reporting obligations even when the owner is abroad. Whether you outsource the work to an accounting firm or organise it another way, the company's records and statutory obligations still need to be maintained. The exact requirements depend on the company's activity and circumstances.
Can you work with me entirely in English?
Yes. The accounting relationship can be discussed in English, while the company's statutory accounting and filings remain subject to Bulgarian requirements.
Do I need to live in Plovdiv?
No. The office is in central Plovdiv, but routine document exchange and communication can be handled remotely. This works for owners based elsewhere in Bulgaria or abroad.
Can you take over from another accountant during the year?
Yes. We first review the current position, agree what records must be transferred and set a clear handover date so responsibilities are not ambiguous.
What do you need to quote a monthly accounting fee?
At minimum: business activity, approximate monthly document volume, VAT status and number of employees. If the company trades internationally, uses marketplaces or has unusual reporting needs, include that too.
How do I send accounting documents?
Documents can be processed online. The exact workflow is agreed according to the document types and volume so the process is practical for both sides.
Can you handle payroll?
Yes. Payroll and personnel administration can be included in the service. Scope and pricing depend on headcount and the employment arrangements.
Can you handle VAT for EU transactions?
We can review the accounting and VAT treatment of cross-border transactions, but the correct answer depends on the type of supply, location and status of the parties and supporting documents. We ask for those facts before giving a conclusion.
Do you work with e-commerce companies?
Yes. The practice includes e-commerce. Online stores often require a clear mapping of marketplaces, payment providers, countries, refunds and document flows before the accounting can be organised efficiently.
Do you offer company registration?
The accounting practice can support the accounting setup around a newly established company and can discuss the practical steps needed before the company starts operating. Where a matter falls outside the accounting firm's professional scope, the appropriate professional should be involved.
What happens if I have almost no activity?
The correct accounting approach depends on the company's actual activity and status. Tell us whether the company issued or received invoices, had bank movements, employees, VAT registration or other transactions and we can assess the appropriate scope.
Will I get management reports in English?
The exact reporting package should be agreed before engagement. If you need recurring management information in a specific format, tell us what you need so it can be included in the scope rather than assumed.
Can you communicate with my previous accountant?
A handover can be coordinated around the records that need to be transferred. The practical process depends on what systems and files the previous accountant holds and on your authorisation.
Do you represent clients before Bulgarian authorities?
Accounting engagements may include filings and interactions connected with the agreed accounting work. The exact scope should be confirmed for the specific case, particularly where formal representation or a specialised legal procedure is involved.
Are you a law firm or statutory audit firm?
No claim is made on this page that AI Accounting Ltd is a law firm or statutory audit firm. This page presents accounting, VAT, payroll and related accounting support. Matters requiring another licensed professional should be handled within the appropriate professional scope.
Can I verify the accountant before I call?
Yes. The page links directly to Gergana Golcheva's LinkedIn profile, the Google Business Profile and the BNR publication. We prefer verifiable public signals over anonymous testimonials.
