Accounting Services in Albania
Monthly Accounting · Annual Report · VAT Registration · Company Liquidation · Bank Account Opening
Company registration is a starting point. From the day your Albanian company is active, it carries recurring obligations that don’t pause for how busy you are: bookkeeping, e-invoicing, VAT filings where applicable, payroll if you have staff, and an annual financial statement and tax return regardless of size. Missing one of these rarely causes an immediate problem — it causes a problem three months later, when a filing deadline has passed, a bank asks for a statement you don’t have, or a small gap has become a larger one.
Albania For Business Sh.p.k. provides accounting support across the full lifecycle of an Albanian company — from VAT registration and monthly bookkeeping, through annual financial statements, to bank account coordination and, if the day comes, formal liquidation. The same team that registered your company, or that handles your legal matters, can also handle this — one relationship, one set of records, no gaps between advisers.
- Fixed monthly fees scoped to your actual transaction volume, not open-ended hourly billing for routine bookkeeping.
- E-invoicing and VAT compliance handled correctly from the start, rather than reconstructed later when a filing is already due.
- Bilingual reporting — Albanian originals where required, with clear English summaries so you always know your numbers.
- Deadline tracking across VAT, payroll, annual statements and corporate tax, so nothing is discovered only once it’s already late.
- One point of contact who also has visibility into your legal and compliance position, not an accountant working from your company documents in isolation.

How We Work
Every accounting engagement — monthly bookkeeping, an annual report, VAT registration — follows the same basic model:
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Initial scoping call | We understand your activity, transaction volume, VAT status and staffing before quoting a fee. |
| Fixed monthly fee | Ongoing accounting work is quoted as a fixed monthly fee based on your actual volume, not billed hourly. |
| Bilingual reporting | Albanian-language originals prepared where required, with clear English summaries so you always understand your position. |
| Coordinated with legal & compliance | Your accounting position is kept aligned with your corporate, tax and compliance obligations, not managed in isolation. |
Fees are always confirmed in writing before work begins. Where your volume or complexity changes materially, we revisit the fee — in either direction — rather than letting scope creep silently.
What We Typically Need From You
The exact information depends on the service, but most engagements start with:
- Your company’s registration certificate, NIPT and current VAT status.
- An estimate of monthly transaction volume — invoices issued, invoices received, and payroll headcount if any.
- Access to your existing records, if the company has been trading and you’re switching accountants.
- Your preferred banking arrangement, if relevant to the engagement.
- Any upcoming deadlines or events already on your radar — an annual filing due, a VAT threshold approaching, a planned liquidation.
We confirm the exact information needed for your specific service at the start of the engagement.
How the Engagement Works
For an ongoing monthly accounting relationship, the typical sequence runs as follows:
Initial scoping call
Fixed monthly fee agreed
Onboarding & historical records review
Ongoing monthly bookkeeping & compliance
Annual report & tax filing
One-off engagements — VAT registration, bank account opening, liquidation — follow a shorter version of the same model: scoping, fixed fee, delivery.
