Each HR-director wants to be sure that his company's paperwork and procedures related to HR management meet the requirements of the Russian laws and regulatory authorities. Often even a random inspection of several employees allows detecting the system errors and breaches of law.

As part of HR audit, we conduct a thorough analysis of HR documentation, assess the completeness and correctness of paperwork, check the compliance of the local acts approval order and provide expert advice and support at all stages of testing.

Improving the efficiency of the accounting service

We believe that accounting system should be subject to business objectives and accounting functions should be the result of the business processes inherent to a particular company.

Unfortunately, the staff accountant service often builds up its work for its own convenience, rather than for business. No wonder that accounting service maintenance costs may not be comparable with the benefits that it brings to the company.

  • adjust tax statements to match the accounting, so as to avoid any questions and suspicions of the Russian tax authorities.
  • discuss with you the tax burden for the current period, so you can set aside the appropriate amount.
  • verify if your tax burden corresponds to industry norms, in order to avoid queries by the tax authorities.
  • correctly calculate payroll and transfer the funds to your employees, taking into account sick pay / vacation allowance / travel allowance / maternity benefits, etc.
  • correctly calculate the payroll taxes.
  • put together reports and file them with the PFRF and SIF.
  • minimize your risks in case if your company pays salaries close to the legal minimum.

In minimizing your tax risks, developing tax optimization methods tailor-made for your company, or simply advising you on complex tax issues, we will definitely involve tax lawyers. It is very important to understand how this or that decision relates to existing judicial practice, and if we can protect you in the event of tax disputes.

How can we be of service?

  • consult you on accounting and taxation even before the agreement on the accounting service is concluded; they will study your business and suggest the optimum format of working together.
  • in the course of our business relationship, they will answer any of your questions on accounting and taxes, advising on the maintenance and restoration of adequate accounting records, building an effective accounting service, tax accounting, tax planning and tax optimization.
  • adapt your accounting and tax accounting to new circumstances (expansion, consolidation, new types of activity).
  • facilitate a dialogue with other divisions of WiseAdvice Group for solving other problems that may be equally important for your business.

How can we be of service?

To err is human. However, accountant errors can be too expensive both for us and for our customers.

In order to tighten quality control, we have established an internal audit service. Our auditors advise accountants in their daily work and periodic reporting and also thoroughly check the work that they submit to state bodies.

Moreover, our methodological experts help to continually refine and upgrade our 1C information system, so that we can minimize the "human factor" while serving your company.

Today, for example, we store in our database complete and well-structured information on the financial and tax accounting of each company. At any time, we can thus replace absent accountants by others without compromising on quality and speed.

How can we be of service?

Given that you are served not by one accountant, but by a whole team of specialists, we have facilitated the process of communicating with us under the "one window" principle.

A personal assistant assigned to you will solve all organizational issues, both before and during our business relationship. In particular, he or she will:

  • record all your queries in our database, so as to remind our employees about them;
  • control the timely execution of your orders;
  • organize your meetings with experts in the field of accounting, taxation, etc.;
  • oversee the document flow between your company and WiseAdvice.

In other words, all communication with our company is through a personal assistant, who is always free for you. Please, call, write, contact us at any time – we will certainly listen and help you!

We are able to communicate in English, both verbally and in writing.

We have purposely avoided listing our experts by name and thus, drawing your attention to them. After all, their availability is one of our advantages.

We show great respect in dealing with our clients' source documents. Since we get thousands of documents per month, our task is to make sure that none of them is lost.

As soon as the documents arrive in our office, our experts immediately go into action: they scan them and attach them to the 1C system in a digitised format. Paper originals are archived and transferred to storage. Thus, your documents are not passed around by way of cabinets and accountants' tables; instead, they are promptly processed, without leaving one room.

Thanks to the accurate work of clerks, scanning assistants and 1C data entry operatives, you can not only be confident in the safety of your documents, but also at any time receive any digital copy from the 1C database, just by pressing a button. (Please note that in the course of tax audits, legal disputes, etc., originals are usually not required. Printed copies are enough.)
