Accounting for a Limited Liability Company (sp z o.o.)

Accounting Firm for a Limited Liability Company

Do you run a limited liability company (spółka z o.o.) and are looking for an accounting firm that will relieve the management board of liability for errors in the books? Aider Polska provides comprehensive accounting services for limited liability companies—from day-to-day record-keeping to financial statements and support for management decisions.

A limited liability company is the most common form of business in Poland— precisely because it separates the shareholders’ personal assets from the company’s liabilities. However, this advantage comes at a cost: full accounting, the obligation to file financial statements, and the management’s responsibility for the accuracy of the accounting records.

We support limited liability companies at every stage —from incorporation and the first year of operation, through changes in the ownership structure, to scaling the team and preparing for an audit.

Documents of a limited liability company (sp. z o.o.)

What Does Accounting for a Limited Liability Company (Sp. z o.o.) Entail?

Full accounting for a limited liability company (sp. z o.o.) includes, among other things:

maintaining accounting books and records of all business transactions,
CIT and VAT settlements ,
recording fixed assets and intangible assets,
preparing financial statements and tax returns,
managing the company’s bank account and linking each transaction to an entry in the books,
archiving of accounting documentation.

Unlike simplified accounting methods (such as the revenue and expense ledger or the lump-sum method), full accounting provides an accurate picture of the company’s financial situation— which is essential for management decision-making, discussions with the bank, and tax audits.

What does full-service accounting for a limited liability company (Sp. z o.o.) entail?

- At the end of each fiscal year, a limited liability company (sp. z o.o.) is required to prepare and file financial statements—which consist of a balance sheet, an income statement, and notes to the financial statements. This document serves as the basis for shareholders to assess the company’s financial condition and for banks and business partners to evaluate its creditworthiness.
- Unlike a sole proprietorship, the management board—not the accountant—is responsible for the accuracy of a limited liability company’s accounting records. Errors in the records or a late financial statement may result in financial and legal consequences for the members of the management board.
- Dividend payments, capital contributions, and loans from a partner to the company—each of these transactions has different tax implications and requires precise recording in the books.
- A limited liability company (Sp. z o.o.) pays corporate income tax (CIT) (including the option to file under the Estonian CIT system, if it meets the requirements)—properly reporting tax-deductible expenses, depreciation, and temporary differences has a direct impact on the company’s tax compliance.

When is it a good idea to switch the accounting firm that serves a limited liability company?

Not every accounting firm—even one that provides reliable services to sole proprietorships—is well-suited to handle the requirements of a limited liability company.

It’s worth considering a change if:

your current firm does not keep the management board informed on an ongoing basis about upcoming deadlines and reporting obligations,
financial statements or tax returns are prepared late,
you do not receive clear financial reports on which to base decisions,
communication is limited to sending documents, without ongoing advice on company decisions,
accounting can’t keep up with changes in the company—such as a new partner, additional capital contributions, or changes in management.

If any of these points sound familiar, we’d be happy to review your current service and see what we can do better.

How much does accounting for a limited liability company cost?

The price depends mainly on the number of accounting documents per month, the number of employees, and the complexity of transactions (e.g., foreign trade, leases, settlements with related parties).

At Aider Polska, we prepare each quote individually —so that a small limited liability company doesn’t pay for services it doesn’t yet need. You’ll receive a specific quote after a brief discussion about the scale of your business.
