An accountant is a consultant who offers various services differentiated according to needs.
If you are an employee who simply needs assistance in preparing and sending your tax return (730 or Modello Redditi), you can rely on an accountant for this service, who will try to get you to deduct everything that is possible and permitted by law.
If, on the other hand, you are self-employed with a VAT number, your accountant can help you identify which tax regime is best for you, depending on the type of activity, the volume of business and the way you conduct your business. In addition to this, the accountant can offer accounting assistance (in fact, bookkeeping is almost always mandatory) and prepare your tax return.
In addition to these two types of clients, the accountant becomes essential for a company, as the services he or she performs are the same as for the self-employed, but the management of company business tends to be more complex than for the self-employed, so the services and advice provided to companies also tend to be more elaborate.
Lastly, an accountant can also be a valuable help for associations, both for managing a possible VAT number and for dealing with the news concerning the reform of the Third Sector and everything else necessary for managing the organisation.
What all these categories of subjects have in common is that the accountant is the most qualified figure to answer tax, corporate and accounting questions, helping to find the best solution to reduce the tax burden as much as possible and live with the peace of mind that things are done right.
