How to Find an Accountant for Your Company in Bulgaria

When Do You Need an Accountant?

Every OOD or EOOD is required to maintain accounting records. Even a small company with minimal activity must:

• File annual financial statements — by March 31 with the National Statistical Institute (НСИ) and by June 30 with the Trade Register
• File an annual tax return — by June 30 with the NRA
• Submit VAT returns (if VAT-registered) — by the 14th of the following month
• Prepare payroll records (if there are employees)

Hiring a full-time in-house accountant is expensive for a small business. Outsourcing accounting is the standard practice.

How to Choose the Right Accountant

Specialization

Accountants have different specializations. Look for one familiar with your industry:

• E-commerce / SaaS — knowledge of VAT for digital services, OSS regime
• Construction — specific accounting, reverse charge VAT under Art. 163a
• Agriculture — subsidies, farmer registration

Price

Typical prices for accounting services in Bulgaria:

• Micro company without employees: 25–75 €/month
• Small company with 1-5 employees: 75–200 €/month
• Medium company: 200–500 €/month

Location

For small companies with few documents, location doesn't matter. More complex cases may require in-person meetings.

When Do You Need a Lawyer Instead of an Accountant?

For most EOODs and OODs, a good accountant is sufficient. However, there are situations where consulting a lawyer is advisable:

• Establishing a JSC (AD) or single-shareholder JSC (EAD) — more complex corporate structure, mandatory charter, and minimum capital of €25,565 (50,000 BGN at the fixed rate)
• Restructuring — mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs between related entities
• Legal disputes — labor, commercial, or tax litigation
• GDPR and data protection — obligations under Regulation (EU) 2016/679
• Intellectual property — trademarks, patents, licensing agreements
• Insolvency — when the company cannot service its debts
