In Slovakia, there is no mandatory registration or official chamber for accountants and tax consultants — anyone can offer these services. This means you need to check qualifications yourself: ask about experience with your type of business (SZČO, s.r.o., employee), whether they work with the Slovak tax office (Finančná správa) and Sociálna poisťovňa, and if they can explain the 2026 changes (new tax brackets from 1 January, mikroodvod for self-employed from 1 July).
What to check before hiring:
- Ask for references from clients with similar situations (self-employed, small company, or employee filing a tax return)
- Clarify what is included in the monthly fee: only accounting, or also payroll, VAT returns, annual tax return
- Check if they respond quickly during tax deadlines (31 March for annual return, quarterly VAT)
- Confirm they have professional liability insurance (poistenie zodpovednosti) — not required by law, but protects you if they make a mistake
- Agree on the price in writing before starting work
Typical services and prices
For self-employed (SZČO): monthly accounting usually costs €30–80 depending on the number of invoices; annual tax return — €80–150. For s.r.o.: monthly accounting from €100, annual financial statements and tax return — €300–600. Employee tax return (if you want to claim deductions like NČZD or mortgage interest) — €50–100. Prices vary by region and complexity; in our directory you'll find 3 specialists, including 1 with a physical office in Veľký Krtíš and 2 working remotely. One specialist indicated Ukrainian as a working language, which matters for understanding your documents and explaining Slovak tax terms — check our glossary if you need to clarify terms like daňový bonus or preddavky.
Ask for a written estimate (cenová ponuka) before signing a contract. A good consultant will explain what you pay for each month and what costs extra (for example, responding to a tax office audit or registering for VAT). Never pay the full annual fee upfront — monthly or quarterly payments are standard in Slovakia.
