Accountants and corporate service providers in Timisoara

Firms in Timisoara

The field is smaller and more varied than in the capital. Accounting firms number 19, with 5 law firms and 3 corporate service providers beside them. Twenty-three firms are small practices and 4 are medium sized; none belongs to a large network. Law firms are a bigger share here than in Bucharest, which suits a founder whose case involves contracts, shareholders or a dispute along with the books.

Company formation is offered by 25 firms, tax compliance by 26, accounting by 23 and payroll by 21. VAT help comes from 13 firms, corporate secretarial work from 13 and virtual office services from 8. Audit is offered by only 3, and bank account support by 2, so if you need either, ask in the first message.

Entities and bodies

The SRL is named by 17 firms and the PFA by 14, with the SA at 6. Individual and family enterprises appear at several firms, and foundations and NGOs at four each. The professional bodies named include CECCAR for accountants, the tax consultants’ chamber and the bar association. A founder who needs advice that only a lawyer can give should check which of the five law firms handles company matters.

Who they work for

Industries named are spread thinly. Real estate comes first with 4 firms, then start-ups with 3, and IT, tourism, software and transport with 2 each. Client groups include small and medium businesses (3 firms), foreign investors, start-ups and NGOs (2 firms each). One firm says it serves clients from 35 countries, and another names foreign companies opening subsidiaries or branches. In total 7 firms say they work with foreign clients.

Languages

Nearly every firm works in Romanian, 26 of the 27, and 11 add English. Italian is available at 4 firms, which is a larger share of the city than in the capital, while Cluj-Napoca has none. German, French, Hungarian and Serbian are each offered by one firm. For Italian speakers there is a page for Italian-speaking accountants in Romania.

The mix is useful for a foreign owner who wants one office to deal with the registration, the contract and the monthly work. Smaller offices also tend to name their staff, so ask for the person who will handle your file and how quickly they answer messages in English. Fees are not shown on this page; ask each firm for a written quote that lists what is included, what is charged on top, and what happens if your company needs help with a tax inspection or a change of shareholder.

Elsewhere in Romania

Bucharest has the widest choice, and Cluj-Napoca a similar number of firms to Timisoara, with a lean towards online sellers and IT. Company formation in Romania explains how to compare providers, and the free quote request sends one brief to suitable firms.
