For Bookkeepers

Stay self-employed –
with a tax advisor at your side.

You look after your clients independently, but would like to have a reliable certified professional at your side for annual financial statements and tax returns? Employment is not an option for you, yet you are looking for genuine collaboration on equal terms? Then let us talk.

Does this sound familiar?

Work independently – without having to shoulder everything on your own.

You handle your clients' bookkeeping reliably and know every transaction in detail. For the annual financial statements, the balance sheet or the tax returns, however, you need a certified professional who takes on the legal responsibility. That is what professional regulations require – and this is precisely where we come in.

Instead of handing your clients over to an unfamiliar firm or giving up your self-employment, we create a clear division of tasks: you keep the client relationship and the ongoing bookkeeping, while our tax advisor takes independent responsibility for the reserved activities.

Why axcon in particular? Stefan Biehl, Founder of the axcon Gruppe, is a trained tax clerk and was himself active as a self-employed bookkeeper for many years. He knows from his own experience the issues that concern you today.

With Andreas Wahrlich as tax advisor, we have created the structure we always wished for ourselves – and we are happy to share it with you.

How the collaboration works

Three steps. Clearly defined. For the long term.

Our division of tasks is simple in principle: you know your clients, we know professional law and infrastructure. This is what creates a genuine collaboration.

You keep your clients

The ongoing financial and payroll accounting stays with you. In day-to-day business you remain the first point of contact for your clients and bill these services to them directly. For the tax-related reserved activities, our certified professional joins in as an independently engaged advisor.

We take on the reserved activities

Annual financial statements, business and private tax returns, review of tax assessments – everything that is legally reserved for a certified professional. Our tax advisor is independently engaged for this, reviews every case personally, takes responsibility for the tax structuring and gives final approval to the return – not a rubber stamp, but genuine professional responsibility.

Greater visibility for you

axcon is a brand with nationwide visibility. Suitable enquiries that match your profile and your region we pass on to you with no referral fee – you grow without having to acquire clients yourself.

Your advantages

Four tangible benefits for your daily work.

We asked ourselves: in your position, what would we expect for a cooperation to genuinely make sense? These four points are our answer.

A professionally compliant set-up

Our tax advisor takes on the reserved activities – annual financial statements, tax returns and the review of tax assessments – on his own responsibility and in accordance with professional regulations. This way, the collaboration is clearly defined from the very start.

Fair distribution of fees

You bill your bookkeeping and payroll services directly to your clients as usual. The reserved activities are billed independently by our tax advisor in accordance with the German Tax Advisor Remuneration Regulation (StBVV) – separately and transparently, with no hidden flat rates.

Digital infrastructure ready to go

DATEV access, client portals, automated workflows – ready to use straight away. You can carry on working with your familiar setup or use ours. Both are possible.

Together rather than alone

You are no longer a lone operator. Professional exchange, backup during illness and holidays, joint continuing education – the advantages of a team, without giving up your self-employment.

What sets us apart

We are there for you even when things get complicated.

Stefan himself was active for many years in larger cooperation models. His experience shows that in difficult cases bookkeepers are frequently left on their own. This is exactly where we want to do things differently.

Support throughout the process

You can clarify queries with us while the work is still being prepared. You do not have to wait until everything is finished – we provide support early, so that a small detail never turns into a problem.

Procedural law from a single source

Time-barred assessments, appeals, suspensions, deferrals – matters that call for genuine specialist knowledge. Andreas Wahrlich is happy to take these on, with 25 years of experience from the tax administration.

Tax audits without the headache

When the tax office announces an audit, we stand by your side. Andreas Wahrlich spent 25 years as a tax auditor himself and handles the support with routine and a sure touch.

Our aspiration: you should enjoy working with us precisely because of the demanding cases.

In development

The axcon FM portal is taking shape right now.

Our subsidiary Radecker Consulting is currently developing a portal specifically for our cooperation partners – from client onboarding through the flow of documents to fee billing. Built on DATEV, with added value that DATEV alone does not offer.

Simpler onboarding

Clients sign digitally, data flows automatically. You save yourself administrative effort.

Greater transparency

You, your clients and we can see the status of tasks at any time.

Ready-made analyses

Business analyses, liquidity overviews, tax forecasts – prepared for your client meetings.

Would you like to take part in testing the beta? Get in touch – we would be glad to include you in the pilot group.

Your contacts

Two contacts, clear roles.

Tax advisor Andreas Wahrlich takes independent responsibility for the tax-related work. Stefan Biehl builds the collaboration with you and is your direct contact for the cooperation.

Frequently asked questions

Important questions, clearly answered.

Yes. Your clients remain your clients. We set this out contractually. You alone decide which clients you bring into the cooperation and which you do not. Should the cooperation come to an end, all clients naturally go with you.

You bill your bookkeeping and payroll services directly to your clients. Our tax advisor bills the reserved activities he performs independently in accordance with the StBVV. This keeps the remuneration cleanly separated – there are no flat-rate deductions in the franchise style here.

No – on the contrary. When clients enquire with axcon directly and match your profile and your region, we pass them on to you with no referral fee. The axcon brand provides visibility that individual bookkeepers can hardly build up on their own.

No. DATEV is our standard infrastructure, but you are welcome to carry on working with your familiar software. All that matters is that the data exchange for the reserved activities works cleanly – and that can be achieved with any common solution.

All clients with regular bookkeeping and tax matters: the self-employed, freelancers, sole traders, SMEs right up to smaller mid-sized companies. Private tax cases and landlords with more complex circumstances are also in good hands with us.

None. There is no entry fee, no membership dues and no hidden costs. We earn solely from the reserved activities we actually perform. If you bring in no clients, you pay nothing.

Let us talk.

Without obligation and in confidence. Stefan knows your working day from his own experience and takes the time for your questions.
