SimpleFinance
Financial services
We are often asked at Simpletax whether taxes could be better optimized. This is usually driven by events such as marriage, children, buying a home, retirement planning or starting a business. However, many people are not sure whether these steps are possible, what the financial and tax consequences are, and what the right measures are.
If this question is clarified in the annual meeting with Simpletax tax consultants, it is often found that these measures can hardly be implemented well without financial professionals and require a lot of specialist knowledge, which in turn can be expensive. In the interests of simple services at clear, mostly fixed target prices, we have set out to find partners who can offer exactly that – and that is Simplefinance.
Such financial services are, for example
- Pension advice, i.e. clarification of the entire retirement pension, financial security in the event of sudden incapacity to work due to illness or accident
- Search for the optimal, low health insurance premium
- Answering the question of whether self-employment requires the establishment of a company, what form this should take and how it can save taxes
- Long-term tax planning and variant comparisons
- Estimating the tax consequences of selling your home
Depending on the type of service, we offer free initial consultations, indicative or fixed prices for defined services, as well as further advice. You can find the entire list and more information on the individual subject areas.
