What services does a tax consulting firm provide to businesses?
Tax Consulting
Professional tax consulting helps companies correctly fulfill their tax obligations, identify planning opportunities in a timely manner, and base decisions on reliable figures. Depending on the agreed-upon scope of services, this may include ongoing advice, tax returns, annual financial statements, representation before tax authorities, and tax guidance for business formation, investments, growth, or restructuring.
Taxes are not just an annual issue in isolation
Taxes
New employees, investments, distributions, financing, international business relationships, or a new legal structure can have tax and economic implications. Those who wait until the annual financial statements are prepared to address these issues miss out on valuable opportunities to take action.
Good tax advice therefore begins earlier: with the assessment of a decision, the quality of the current figures, and a process that delivers information in a timely manner to where it is needed.
Manage Obligations and Deadlines Effectively
We organize the agreed-upon tasks, responsibilities, and deadlines. This makes it clear which documents are needed, who is responsible for the next step, and when a decision is required.
Evaluate Decisions with a Long-Term Perspective
Before you invest, start a business, make a distribution, expand your workforce, or change your corporate structure, we’ll assess the tax implications in light of your business objectives.
Interpreting Numbers from a Business Perspective
Numbers only create value when they are understandable. We explain relevant developments, make assumptions transparent, and present the information you need to make decisions in a way that allows you to work with it.
Tax Consulting Tailored to Your Business
The specific scope of services depends on the company’s legal structure, stage of development, industry, internal resources, and complexity. Together, we’ll determine which tasks ambicon will handle, what information you’ll provide, and which topics will be discussed on a regular basis.

How much does tax consulting cost for businesses?
FEE
The cost of tax consulting services can only be accurately assessed once the legal form, volume of documentation and transactions, number of employees, quality of existing documentation, desired scope of services, and specific consulting topics are known. In Austria, fees are generally agreed upon on a case-by-case basis.
During the initial consultation, we will therefore first determine your actual needs. Based on this, you will receive a proposal that outlines which services are included and how additional tasks will be handled.
What factors determine the fee?
Legal Structure and Size of the Company
Scope and Quality of Current Accounting Data
Number of Employees and Payroll Transactions
Type and Number of Tax Returns and Financial Statements
Consulting, Coordination, and Reporting Needs
International, corporate law, or other special topics

Frequently Asked Questions About Tax Consulting for Businesses
FAQ
What does a tax advisor do for businesses?
A tax advisor advises and represents companies on tax and business management matters. Depending on the engagement, they may handle day-to-day tax matters, manage bookkeeping and payroll, prepare financial statements and tax returns, file applications, and represent clients before tax authorities. The specific services that make sense depend on the company’s legal structure, stage of development, and complexity.
When is it worth it to have ongoing tax advice?
Ongoing support is particularly valuable when decisions regularly have tax implications, when multiple tax and reporting obligations overlap, or when up-to-date figures are needed for investments, staffing, financing, or growth. The benefit lies not only in fulfilling obligations but also in clarifying issues before decisions are implemented.
Does every company in Austria have to hire a tax advisor?
There is no general requirement for every company to retain a tax advisor on a permanent basis. However, obligations related to tax, corporate law, and organizational matters still apply. Whether professional assistance is advisable depends, among other things, on the company’s legal form, revenue, number of employees, international circumstances, and the level of in-house expertise available.
What is the difference between a tax advisor and an accountant?
Tax consultants are authorized to provide comprehensive advice and representation in tax matters. Certified public accountants are authorized, in particular, to handle bookkeeping, payroll processing, income-and-expense accounting, and certain financial statements within the scope of their legal authority; however, the provision of comprehensive tax advice is reserved for tax consultants. It is therefore crucial to determine what services you need and what professional qualifications the specific provider holds.
What documents are required for an initial consultation?
To provide an initial assessment, please provide information on the legal form, industry, revenue, number of employees, current accounting setup, and desired scope of services. For an existing business, the most recent annual financial statements or income and expense statement, current reports, and information on pending deadlines are also helpful. Confidential documents should only be sent via the agreed-upon secure transmission method.
How much does tax consulting cost?
In Austria, fees are generally agreed upon on a case-by-case basis. The key factors include the legal form of the business, the volume of documentation and transactions, the number of employees, the quality of the documentation, the desired scope of services, and specific consulting topics. Once the client’s needs have been clarified, it should be clearly documented which services are included and how additional work will be billed.
Can the collaboration take place entirely online?
Many ongoing steps can be managed digitally—such as document submission, approvals, follow-ups, analyses, and meetings. The onboarding process determines which systems will be used and whether in-person meetings are necessary for specific appointments. The goal is not an end in itself, but rather a secure process that works well in everyday practice.
Does ambicon handle communication with the tax office?
Once the engagement has been confirmed and within the scope of the corresponding power of attorney, the licensed tax advisor may file agreed-upon tax returns and applications, review the tax file, and handle communications with tax authorities. The exact scope of services is specified in the engagement agreement.
Does ambicon serve companies outside of Vienna?
Yes. In-person consultations are available in Vienna; digital processes enable ongoing collaboration with companies throughout Austria. For international matters, we assess whether we have the necessary expertise and capacity before accepting a case.
Can I change tax advisors during the year?
In principle, it is also possible to switch providers during the year. However, you should review the existing contract, agreed-upon notice periods, outstanding services, fees, powers of attorney, data transfer, and upcoming deadlines. A structured handover reduces the risk of duplicate work and information gaps.
Tax Decisions Require Clarity
Let's discuss what tax-related tasks your company needs to address today, where risks or unresolved issues exist, and what a personalized, digitally organized collaboration might look like.
During the initial consultation, we’ll assess your current situation, your needs, and possible next steps. We do not accept clients or provide personalized tax advice via this form at this time.
