Accountant & Tax Advisor in Cyprus

Setting up a company in Cyprus is the easy part; keeping it compliant, tax-optimized, and extremely profitable requires a modern financial partner.

Most local accountants in Cyprus view your business purely as a checklist, often hampered by language barriers and the traditional “siga-siga” mentality. At Cyprus-Consult, we offer proactive accounting and tax advice specifically designed for international expats, digital entrepreneurs, and investors.

We ensure that your business accounting is flawless, your VAT & VIES are filed on time and, most importantly, that your personal wealth is maximized through the Non-Dom tax regime.

We proactively think along with you.

Why Traditional Accountants Fail at Modern Companies

Cyprus has a fantastic tax climate, but to benefit from it you need speed and strategic insight.

If you run a fast-growing e-commerce brand, a tech startup, or a crypto portfolio, a traditional local accountant is a huge bottleneck.

The most common complaints from expats switching to us:

  • “My accountant doesn’t understand my business model.” (This is a particular pain point with crypto, SaaS, and dropshipping).
  • Communication is slow and often in broken English or only Greek
  • They only speak to me once a year to file the tax return, causing me to miss proactive opportunities

Our services are built to solve exactly this problem. We combine Western efficiency with deep local expertise.

We act as your external CFO and ensure that you are not only legally compliant but also financially optimized.

Our Core Accountancy & Tax Services

Whether you are a freelancer with a single Cyprus LTD or manage an international holding structure, we offer a complete, Dutch-language “Done-For-You” financial package.

1. Daily Bookkeeping & Cloud Accounting
– Forget shoeboxes full of receipts. We use modern cloud software (such as Xero or Exact) to manage your daily general ledgers. You gain real-time insight into your cash flow, profit margins, and expenses, enabling you to make data-driven decisions.

2. VAT Registration & Quarterly Returns
– The Cypriot tax authorities are strict when it comes to VAT compliance. We handle your initial VAT registration, manage cross-border VIES reporting for EU sales, and submit your quarterly returns accurately and on time, so that you are protected against unnecessary penalties.

3. Payroll Administration (Social Security & GeSY)
– If you hire local staff or put yourself on the payroll as a director to build economic substance, we manage your entire payroll. We seamlessly calculate and remit all Social Security contributions, income tax (PAYE), and GeSY (healthcare) deductions for you.

4. Corporate Tax & Audit Support
– By law, every Cypriot company is required to submit audited annual accounts. While we manage your day-to-day figures, we prepare watertight financial files and liaise directly with certified independent auditors. This ensures that your year-end closing proceeds smoothly, quickly, and fully in line with the 15% corporate tax rate.
