Audit Support

The file assembled before the first meeting, not during it.

What it covers

Pre-audit dossier

Every document the inspector will ask for, indexed and cross-referenced, prepared before the audit opens rather than chased during it.

AADE inspector liaison

Markos attends. Twelve years inside the AADE Athens-A unit means he knows which questions are procedural and which are not.

Dispute resolution

Objections drafted with the statutory basis cited and the arithmetic shown. Most disputes are lost on presentation, not on substance.

Penalty mitigation

Where an error is real, we establish its scope, correct it, and argue the mitigation properly. One recent penalty went from €27,400 to €1,100.

Tax pre-audit letters

The nine-day clock starts the moment it arrives. We have a standard response process and we have never missed the window.

Post-audit remediation

Whatever the audit surfaces gets fixed in the books, in the process, and in the following year — not filed away.

What you get

Anyone who has received a letter, anyone about to receive one, and any business whose prior years were prepared by someone they no longer trust.

Opening assessment
What is clean, what is exposed, what we would fix first
Indexed dossier
Complete file, cross-referenced, before the audit opens
Attendance
A partner in the room for every meeting
Written outcome
What was found, what was agreed, what changes now

Fees

Quoted per engagement after an opening assessment. We will tell you honestly whether the exposure justifies the work.

Line led by Markos Vlantis. Every engagement names the partner who does the work and the partner who reviews it.

Common questions

We received a tax pre-audit letter this week.

Call us today. The response window is nine days and it is not extended for good reasons. Most of the work is assembling the file, and that takes the time it takes.

Will you take on an audit for books you did not prepare?

Yes, and we do it often. We will give you a candid view of what we find, including if the news is bad.

Do you guarantee an outcome?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. We guarantee the file is complete and the argument is properly made.
