Our Charges

The cost of service in English starts from PLN 2000 (1 month), however, due to the varied needs and expectations of our foreign clients, the level of price for accounting services in English is negotiated individually during a meeting where detailed terms of cooperation are agreed.

The price of accounting services is influenced mainly by the number of accounting documents in a given month (mainly purchase and sales invoices), but also by factors such as: type of business (service, trade, production), the level of complexity of entries in the books, the number of fixed assets, the number of bank accounts and foreign currency cash reports, settlements in foreign currencies, import / export, number of branches, additional services, individual specificity of activity.

HR and payroll outsourcing

Companies hiring employees in Poland should be aware of the numerous obligations imposed on them by Polish law. Without expert guidance in the provisions of the local tax laws, social insurance, the regulations of the Labour Code and the numerous rules set out by the Council of Ministers, foreign companies can easily become lost in the complexity of these laws.

HR and payroll services offered by Sterling Accounting include:

  • Preparation of complete documentation required for personnel
  • Keeping of personal records of employees
  • Registration of employees with the Social Insurance Institution
  • Calculation of wages, salaries and payroll
  • Making monthly declarations to the Social Insurance Institution
  • Preparation of annual tax forms for employees and tax offices
  • Monitoring holidays
  • Sending pay slips
  • Monitoring of periodic medical examinations
  • Calculating staff travel expenses

In addition, Sterling Accounting offers to keep full documentation – including travel expenses – for domestic and international business trips undertaken on behalf of companies by the Board of Directors, as well as creating an internal company policy setting out the guidelines for the settlement of such expenses.

The cost of our Personnel and Payroll services depends on the scope of duties entrusted to our company. These costs are set individually with each client during our initial meeting where the formal terms of engagement are agreed.
