Accountants and corporate service providers in Krakow

Krakow has 71 firms on Accountanty, nearly all of them small practices. For a foreign founder this city offers a different trade-off from Warsaw: fewer firms with international networks, but many teams that work closely with technology companies and with startups, and a practical choice of English-speaking advisers.

The legal sequence for registering a company applies in every city and is described in the Poland guide. Use this page to decide who in Krakow can carry it out and run the books afterwards.

Questions to put to a Krakow firm

Because most practices here are small, the useful questions are practical ones. Ask who will be your named contact, whether that person has registered a company for a non-resident founder before, and what happens when they are away. Ask which of the services you need are done in house and which are passed to a partner, especially for audit, bank account help and residency support, where fewer Krakow firms offer them. Ask what the quote covers and what is charged separately, so that monthly bookkeeping, VAT filings and payroll are not a surprise after formation.
