WANTED: Steuerberater or Tax Lawyer

The foreigners lawyer for (business) immigration and incorporation serves the international community. We assist foreign investors, employees, and freelancers in immigrating and officially setting up their businesses. We support corporate and non-corporate businesses in registering with the tax and other offices. Almost all of our clients need tax consultation in English. We want to expand the scope of services provided in this office with a qualified person to run the tax department autonomously.

The feasible candidate will be a female or male young professional with a small or no client base of his/her own who is willing to start or enhance his/her business career as a freelancer without financial risks and almost no investment. From day 1, you will be working in an office with an international and friendly atmosphere. On average, we have about one or two tax clients per week that we would introduce to you – with an increasing number.

You will be serving

• German subsidiaries of international companies,
• locally as well as remotely held companies,
• shareholding directors,
• freelancers, and
• employees.

What will your assignments include?

• bookkeeping,
• annual closings,
• tax returns (e.g. corporate / income, VAT, trade tax),
• whatever else the client might want and/or need.

May I ask you a few questions?

• Do you hold the German professional title "Steuerberater" or "Rechtsanwalt"? Or have you already applied for such a patent?
• Can you effectively and fluently communicate with clients in English and also with the authorities in German? Additional languages are an asset but not necessary.
• Do you have any expat / intercultural experiences?
• Are you a number cruncher?
• Will you punctually run the monthly bookings / VAT pre-returns / payroll as well?
• Can you prepare annual corporate financial closings – be it only for simple structures?
• Are you able to collaborate with an internationally working team?
• Will you keep time limitations?
• Do you have some experience in working parallel to a law office?
• Do you have humor and keep cool though things might get hot?

Our offer:

• an international job as a freelancer – starting from day one,
• the chance to start self-employment or enhance an existing startup with virtually no risks,
• a possibility to provide legal services to your clients,
• flexible working time,
• flexible working places – full remote working is a serious option,
• raising responsibility,
• t.b.d.

Who is a probable candidate?

• Steuerberateranwärter,
• Rechtsreferendar, shortly after or around the exams,
• spin-off from an existing law/tax firm wanting to start his or her own business parallel to an existing international law office,
• retirees, who still have the yearning to do something but only part-time.

Are you worried because you lack professional experience? Worry no more. We will be collaborating and remain available for coaching.
