- annual accounts
- tax returns
- negotiations with Told & Skat

In addition, your accountant should be your natural daily sparring partner.
Accountant types
There are three pervading types of accountant: - A numerate calling him/herself an accountant
- A certified accountant
- A state authorised accountant
State authorised public or certified accountants
To an entrepreneur, there is no substantial legal difference between state authorised and certified accountants as both types of accountant are subject to almost similar legislation.
Both types offer a range of accounting and administrative services varying from one firm to another. Prices likewise vary.
Other accountants
Several persons offer accountancy without being neither a state authorised nor a certified accountant. This is fully legal as the title "accountant" is free to adopt without any sort of restrictions.
This group of accountants are under no public control and customers do not benefit from the same secureness as those who consult a state authorised or certified accountant. In return, such accountants are often less expensive.
