Describe your task

02A / Accounting & tax support

Books in order.Decisions based on numbers.

We help restore accounting, clarify tax obligations and build financial processes — from diagnostics to ongoing service.

Accounting & 1C recovery

We review the state of the accounting database, primary documents and reporting. We restore records, eliminate discrepancies and bring cash and accountable transactions, receivables and payables into order.

Tax obligations

We analyse tax risks, returns and VAT calculations. We reconcile tax accounts, prepare reporting adjustments and documents to settle discrepancies, arrears and overpayments with the tax authorities.

Tax audits & liquidation

We prepare records, reporting and supporting documents for tax inspections. We handle requests and interaction with the state revenue authorities, as well as the financial and tax groundwork for winding up a company.

Investment project finance

We set up financial and management accounting, budgeting and cash-flow planning. We prepare the financial part of investment projects and reporting for owners, investors and foreign parent companies.

Ongoing bookkeeping

We keep accounting and tax records, prepare reports and monitor settlements and reconciliations with counterparties. Once records are restored, we maintain them on a regular basis.

International settlements

We systematise documents and settlements with Kazakh and foreign counterparties. We help align local accounting with the needs of an international group and prepare clear financial reporting.

02B / Notarial procedures support

Legal preparation.Notarial form.

We advise on and prepare documents for applications to a practising notary. Notarial acts are performed by a notary, not by a consulting firm.

Preparing for debt recovery

We analyse contracts, the creditor’s rights, debt calculations and supporting documents. We check notices and the completeness of materials for an executive inscription application, and support the subsequent submission for enforcement.

Working with property management companies

We reconcile owner registers, personal accounts, charges and payments. We help update records, organise debtor notifications and prepare monthly debt documentation for property management and maintenance fees.

Transactions & legally significant documents

We draft contracts, agreements, powers of attorney, consents and applications. We check the document set and coordinate the application to a notary to certify a transaction or perform another notarial act.

Preparing the evidence base

We analyse dispute materials, identify information that needs to be recorded and prepare documents for the notary. Inspection of materials and the protocol securing evidence are carried out by a practising notary within their authority.

Whether a notarial act can be performed, verification that a claim is undisputed and the making of an executive inscription are decided by the notary independently. We keep our clients’ documents and information confidential.

Every projectstarts with a conversation.
