The current financial accounting of a company should not be exclusively, as handled by many companies, a tool for the tax calculation of the company and a suffering imposed by law. Financial accounting should above all be seen as a control tool for your business processes and as a reflection of the company’s success.

All companies are different!

For this reason, BBC tailors everything individually to your company, both in the services provided to your company and in the financial accounting evaluations.

In the area of financial accounting, we work with our clients digitally. However, we can of course also process bookkeeping using a non-digital method.

Fixed assets include assets that are intended to serve the business on a permanent basis. Belonging of an asset to fixed assets is determined by its purpose, not by its accounting. If the purpose of the asset cannot be clearly determined, the balance sheet can be used as a guide to its classification as a fixed asset.

Fixed assets may include:

Intangible assets

Intangible (incorporeal) assets may include: rights, assets similar to rights and other benefits. An asset item may only be recognized for intangible fixed assets if it have been acquired for consideration §5 Sec. 2 Income tax law or if it have been incorporated into the business assets R 14 Sec. 1 Income Tax Guideline.

Property, plant and equipment

Pursuant §§ 240 Sec. 2 and 246 of the German Commercial Code and §§ 140 and 141 of the German Fiscal Code, a list of movable and immovable tangible assets must be prepared for each balance sheet date.

Financial assets

Financial assets are part of non-current assets. They include, for example, investments in other companies, loans to other companies and securities held for the longer term. The relevant reference can be found under § 271 German Commercial Code.

In the case of fixed assets which use is limited in time, acquisition or production costs are to be reduced by scheduled depreciation. Scheduled depreciation is generally carried out in equal annual installments over the useful economic life (straight-line depreciation). By way of exception, depreciation with decreasing amounts (declining balance depreciation) or in accordance with the output (output depreciation) is permissible if this corresponds much better to the course of use. Furthermore, tax law recognizes a number of special depreciation allowances, which we cannot go into in more detail here due to the comprehensiveness involved.

There is a great deal of scope in fixed asset accounting, which we carefully review to ensure maximum success for your business.

Our compnany prepares asset accounting on a monthly basis rather than annually for the increased informative vaue of the accounting.

Fixed assets accounting includes the following services:

• Keeping the register of fixed assets
• Recording of the current master data changes
• Observance of all legal regulations
• Recording of additions and disposals of fixed assets
• Calculation of depreciation / consumption of value with careful examination of the optimal amount
