Built for international people who need clarity in Bulgaria
Bulgaria can be attractive for entrepreneurs, remote workers and internationally mobile professionals – but the local administrative system can feel unfamiliar if you do not speak the language or do not know how Bulgarian accounting, VAT, social security and annual tax reporting fit together. Our role is to make the system understandable, organised and manageable.
Expats in Bulgaria
Support with local tax and compliance questions, annual declarations, income reporting and practical orientation.
Freelancers & remote workers
Accounting and tax support for independent professionals, consultants, IT specialists, creators and service providers.
Foreign-owned companies
Monthly accounting, VAT, payroll, annual closing and business support for companies owned or managed by foreigners.
Founders & online businesses
Support for businesses selling services, digital products, consulting, e-commerce or cross-border online work.
Accountancy services in Bulgaria – organised around your real situation
Instead of giving you a long list of technical terms, Al Hathaway starts with the practical question: what are you trying to do in Bulgaria, what income do you receive, what obligations follow, and what structure keeps you compliant without unnecessary friction?
Monthly accountancy
Regular accounting, document organisation, compliance deadlines, management support and predictable monthly processes.
Annual tax returns
Annual declarations for individuals and companies, including cases with foreign income, dividends, investments or mixed sources.
Company formation support
Practical assistance around starting a Bulgarian company, organising the accounting setup and understanding the next steps.
VAT registration & compliance
Support with VAT questions, registration logic, cross-border supplies, EU clients, VIES checks and ongoing VAT reporting.
Payroll & social security
Payroll, managers, self-insurance, employee administration and social security logic depending on your structure.
Online business & e-commerce
Support for online stores, digital services, EU customers, OSS questions and international business models.
Most foreign clients do not have an accounting problem. They have a clarity problem.
When you operate in a foreign country, uncertainty often becomes more expensive than the actual tax or accounting work. Al Hathaway helps reduce that uncertainty by structuring the process, clarifying obligations and turning scattered questions into a clear next-step plan.
You do not know what applies to you
Company, freelancer, local income, foreign income, VAT, social security – the rules can feel fragmented until someone maps them clearly.
Your documents are everywhere
Invoices, contracts, bank statements, platform reports and tax deadlines need a process, not last-minute panic.
You work across borders
International clients, EU supplies, remote work, online sales and foreign income often require more than basic bookkeeping.
How working with Al Hathaway usually starts
Orientation
We look at your situation, your income sources, your structure and the main questions that need to be clarified first.
Structure
We define the documents, deadlines, responsibilities and accounting logic needed for a more predictable process.
Ongoing clarity
You get a more organised flow: what needs to be done, when, why it matters and what the next step is.
Pricing depends on the real scope, not on generic packages
Every business is different. The price depends on activity, volume of documents, VAT status, payroll needs, cross-border elements, reporting complexity and the level of advisory support required.
Light activity / freelancer
Usually 80–150 EUR excl. VAT
Suitable for lighter activity, limited document flow and the need for a properly organised start.
Active company
Usually 150–300 EUR excl. VAT
Suitable for regular business activity, more documents, payroll needs or more frequent communication.
Complex / international cases
Individual quote
Suitable for VAT, OSS, foreign income, multiple entities, specific tax issues or wider advisory support.
The offer is agreed in advance. The goal is a clear arrangement that is sustainable, reasonable and useful for both sides. With Al Hathaway, there are no hidden fees.
Why the approach matters
Good accounting is not only about filing documents. It is about knowing what the numbers mean, what obligations follow and what decision should be made before a problem becomes expensive.
Clarity first
We translate accounting, tax and social security logic into practical next steps.
Process over chaos
Documents, deadlines and communication need a system – not scattered messages and last-minute stress.
Business mindset
The focus is not only on compliance, but also on helping you understand the business consequences of your choices.
