Service Scope
Financial advisory is not merely the fulfilment of legal obligations. From accounting records to tax planning, from corporate structuring to payroll — every process forms an interconnected system. Setting this system up correctly eliminates the risks a company would otherwise face in future periods.
Akbaş manages client files from an integrated perspective. Planning is done before the filing period; maximum benefit is taken from tax advantages; potential regulatory changes are brought onto the company's agenda in advance.
Services are provided at every scale — from newly established companies to established businesses. The accounting infrastructure can be built from scratch or an existing system can be taken over and improved.

Frequently Asked Questions
The most common questions
in financial advisory.
What is the difference between a CPA (SMMM) and a Sworn-in CPA (YMM)?
A CPA (SMMM) can maintain accounting records, prepare tax returns and provide financial advisory. A Sworn-in CPA (YMM) can additionally perform certification procedures; YMM certification is mandatory for certain VAT refund and investment incentive processes. Akbaş provides all accounting, tax return and financial advisory services under CPA authority pursuant to Law No. 3568.
At what stage should I engage accounting services?
The best practice is to begin simultaneously with company formation. If the accounting infrastructure and e-transformation systems are not established before the first tax period, the cost of retroactive corrections and the risk of penalties increase significantly. Obtaining advisory before operations begin ensures everything is set up correctly from the start.
Is e-transformation mandatory? When should I make the transition?
The mandatory thresholds for e-invoice and e-ledger have been progressively broadened in recent years and have become compulsory for companies exceeding certain turnover thresholds. Even if you are outside the mandatory scope, voluntary transition provides cost and efficiency advantages. We can assess your company's current turnover and sector to determine your obligation status and plan the transition schedule together.
What is the process when we want to change our current financial advisor?
This decision is entirely yours; we take on the technical burden of the process. All transition stages — from file handover to GIB and SGK access arrangements — are conducted under Akbaş coordination. The timing of the handover is planned jointly to avoid any interruption to the filing schedule; a smooth start is made within an average of two to four weeks.
What tasks does a CPA handle during company formation?
All financial setup processes are managed, including tax ID registration, accounting software installation, e-transformation applications and SGK workplace registration. The tax implications of company type selection, capital structure and ownership percentages are assessed. Trade registry and notary procedures fall within the legal scope, and referrals are made to relevant specialists in that area.
