Approval of financial statements: deadlines and penalties. What every business owner should know

Our client onboarding process is streamlined, transparent, and 100% digital. To initiate our accounting cooperation, we require the following baseline items: 1. **Corporate founding documents:** Articles of Association / Statutes (notarial deed or S24 digital extract), current National Court Register (KRS) extract or CEIDG sole trader entry. 2. **Onboarding questionnaires:** Completion of our digital client questionnaire detailing corporate bank accounts, business profile, GDPR consent, and mandatory Anti-Money Laundering (AML/KYC) compliance forms. 3. **Official fiscal powers of attorney:** Granting the UPL-1 authorization for electronic tax filing and the ZUS PEL authorization for social insurance representation before Polish authorities. 4. **For companies transitioning from another firm:** Current year-to-date trial balance (zestawienie obrotów i sald), most recent approved annual financial statements, recent VAT and corporate tax returns, and the fixed asset depreciation schedule. Upon receipt, we execute our formal service agreement, assign your dedicated senior accountant, and activate your 24/7 Client Portal and complimentary KSeF invoicing system.

We prioritize speed, paperless convenience, and client security. The standard deadline for submitting monthly accounting documentation is the **10th day of the following month** (or the 15th under customized corporate arrangements). You can submit documents through two primary workflows: • **100% Digital & Paperless (Recommended):** Uploading files directly via our secure 24/7 Client Portal (drag-and-drop PDFs, high-res photo scans from mobile) or through automated synchronization with our cloud invoicing platform and KSeF. Our intelligent OCR engine extracts invoice metadata instantly. • **Physical Paper Delivery:** For clients maintaining physical paper archives — documents may be dispatched via tracked courier or postal delivery directly to our Warsaw headquarters. Timely invoice submission allows our senior accountants to finalize your VAT, CIT, and ZUS calculations well ahead of statutory payment due dates.
