For example, for an individual entrepreneur or a small company, external auditing is an opportunity to save on bookkeeping maintenance, and, in addition, to provide a guaranteed high level of all operations.
- For middle-size companies, it is a standard to create one accounting department for all organizations (finally leading to a separate subsidiary accounting firm), or to involve outsourcing accounting firms. The advantages of such a method are clear: each individual manager does not have to care of bookkeeping that allows to concentrate entirely on optimal carrying on business. Contacting AC “BAU-Consult” will give you a confidence in the work quality, absence of claims from the tax office, and uninterrupted bookkeeping even in case of illness of a certain employee or a number of force majeure circumstances.
- For large companies acting with the help of multiple branch and representative network, or using franchise schemes, bookkeeping outsourcing is crucially important. Besides guaranteed steadiness it allows to reduce considerably expenses for management of large structures, and take out many duties from the directorate representatives. The point is that standard bookkeeping requires rooms, equipment, software, expendable materials, cleaning, and many other things. In fact, up to 20% of logistic and management system of the company may be spent just for bookkeeping support. Many managers understand that it is reasonable to use the resources for more active marketing policy, and save the expenditure costs.

Tax planning, tax consulting
Is the way of financial and economical activity of the entity when the company uses all legal possibilities and instruments for optimization and minimization of tax burden. One of the most important factors to be taken into account is the fact that such the optimization covers all expenses for its organization or creation. All the rules of using Tax planning are here.
As of today, in our opinion, use and introduction of Tax planning to financial and economic activity of the company is necessary for each enterprise in the Russian Federation, starting from an ordinary individual entrepreneur and stopping at large companies. For one company Tax planning is limited by the choice of a taxation system, for other companies it is an integral part of financial planning of the company. Absence of Tax planning may retard the company development due to heavy tax burden, if not bankrupt the company. Savings received from introducing Tax planning may be spent to current assets replenishment which the company in its turn may spend for company development (increase/improvement of facilities; marketing improvement; attraction of more experienced personnel, etc.).

- availability of the assessment report increases attraction and transparency of the company for potential investors.
- assessment report combined with the auditing statement helps the directorate of your company to be highly aware of the current situation, and to take the most proper decisions in carrying on business.
- assessment report in some cases is very convincing, and at times a decisive argument in upholding of your interests in the court.
- when transferring property for pledge, availability of the assessment report is frequently an obligatory requirement of credit institutions in receipt and further support of credits, credit lines, letters of credit, etc.
There are many points for assessment, and we have given only the most common of them in the Russian practice. Based on the given task, the value type (market, investment, liquidation, and cadastral) to be calculated in the report is defined.
However, it is necessary to note that each specific assessment case is unique in its way, and requires an individual approach both to the client and to the assessment process itself.
