Accountants in Budapest: English-Speaking Bookkeepers Compared

The clearest published price list in the category and the only one built around expat freelancers, covering egyeni vallalkozo registration, KATA and flat-rate taxation entirely in English and entirely online.

Good to know: Prices exclude 27 percent VAT and are stated as valid from 1 January 2026 until revoked; there is no walk-in office, work runs paperless with a Calendly consultation slot at HUF 29,900 per hour and a stated 24 hour response time. Sole entrepreneurship registration is HUF 29,900 and company registration starts at HUF 49,900.

The accounting arm of the Helpers Hungary group and the default answer for a foreign-owned Kft, with a stated 10 plus English-speaking accountants and package prices published up front.

Good to know: The EUR 270 startup package covers up to 20 invoices a month, bank statement registration, quarterly VAT records, payroll for two people and one quarterly consultation hour; the site notes EUR figures are indicative and contracts are signed in HUF. Visitors use entrance A on the 2nd floor of Budapart Gate, office hours Monday to Friday 9:00 to 17:00 CET. The helpersfinance.hu site itself is published in English only, and the many other language versions belong to the wider helpers.hu group site, so ask before assuming service in a third language. The group's Google profile shows 4.7 from 243 reviews as aggregated by Birdeye.

One of the few Budapest firms publishing an entry-level monthly accounting price, aimed squarely at small foreign-owned companies that also need a registered office and immigration help.

Good to know: Quote-based above the advertised from-prices, so ask what invoice volume EUR 120 actually covers; the firm states it carries Allianz professional liability insurance, handles Ugyfelkapu and Cegkapu submissions, and runs a WhatsApp channel alongside a client document portal.

A mid-size Vaci ut firm trading as Tower Interconsult Kft. that markets itself directly at foreigners in English and Italian, and also files personal tax returns for individuals.

Good to know: Quote-based: no price list is published, and offers come through the request form on the site. The firm claims over 15 years in the market and more than 200 company clients, and covers Cegkapu handling and tax office representation.

A small Buda practice with a dedicated English page that spells out the taxes a foreign owner actually meets: 9 percent corporate tax, 10 percent KIVA and the 2 percent local business tax.

Good to know: Quote-based, with rates set by business activity and volume; the firm handles Kft, Bt, Kkt and sole trader (egyeni vallalkozo) clients, and the English content is a section of an otherwise Hungarian site, so the first email is the real language test.

An established Pest office in the Modusz building that runs a fully digitised, paperless process and works in English and French, useful if your reporting pack has to satisfy a foreign parent company.

Good to know: Quote-based, but the site promises an offer within four hours of a request; office hours are Monday to Thursday 8:00 to 16:30 and Friday to 14:00, and professional liability cover is held with Allianz Hungaria.

The pick when the problem is your own SZJA rather than a company: ABT runs a named expat tax service covering tax residency determination, foreign income, tax advance calculations and social security position.

Good to know: Quote-based with no published fees, and the firm is set up for individuals on employer assignments as much as walk-in freelancers; it operates from Obuda in Buda, has more than 30 years of history and is a member of the ETL Global network for cross-border cases.

Founded in 1998 and the exclusive Hungarian member of the WTS Global network, this is a tax adviser first and a bookkeeper second, and its free English newsletter is one of the better plain-language sources on Hungarian tax changes.

Good to know: Quote-based and pitched at companies rather than individuals; useful if your question is structural (fiscal representation, VAT registration for a foreign entity, audit obligation) rather than routine monthly bookkeeping. The firm has grown by acquisition: it took over Finacont and then fully merged with VGD Hungary on 1 January 2025, so older reviews and referrals may still name VGD; the contracting entity is WTS Klient Gazdasagi Tanacsado Kft.

A CEE outsourcing group that states 70 Hungarian experts on its Hungary page, and the only firm here with an actual online shop where fixed-price items can be bought without a sales call.

Good to know: The Hungary page carries no phone number and no monthly bookkeeping rate, so recurring accounting is quote-based through the contact form. The prices listed here are one-off items sold through the Accace eShop at shop.accace.com, quoted excluding VAT with the VAT-inclusive figure shown beside each one; the same shop describes the Hungarian team as more than 60 local experts, so the headcount claim depends on which Accace page you read.

Part of the global RSM network and one of the larger Hungarian one-stop shops, covering accounting, payroll, tax and audit under a single engagement.

Good to know: Quote-based. The office is at Lomb utca 30-32 while the registered seat is Vaci ut 99-105 in the Balance Hall building, so check which address a contract or courier needs; RSM also runs a separate fiscal representation service for foreign companies.

A Budapest-headquartered outsourcing specialist that reports ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certification and close to 600 people across four countries, with coverage the company describes as reaching 40 countries in Europe.

Good to know: Built for corporate volumes rather than one-person businesses, so expect a scoping call before any number appears; useful when a group needs the same accounting and payroll setup replicated across several CEE countries. Its own pages give two different staff figures, 500 professionals in the CEE offices on the home page and close to 600 across four countries on the about page.

Founded in 2017 and unusually technology-led for this market, running on Microsoft Azure with ISO 27001 certification and offices in Budapest, Warsaw and Bucharest.

Good to know: Quote-based and strongest on payroll rather than small-company bookkeeping; also a reliable free source of English explainers on the NAV draft personal income tax return, which is handy if you are deciding whether to file alone.

Present in Hungary since August 1991 and part of an internationally integrated partnership spanning more than 100 countries, the usual call when a company crosses the statutory audit thresholds.

Good to know: Quote-based and aimed at subsidiaries of multinationals and larger Hungarian companies; the office sits in the Vaci Greens F building at Fiastyuk utca 4-8, second floor, and the general mailbox is still on the legacy mazars.hu domain.

Runs a dedicated expatriate service line covering personal income tax and social security across two countries, tax residency determination and registration with the Hungarian authorities.

Good to know: Quote-based, and the offer is framed around employees on international assignment, so it fits people sent to Budapest by an employer better than local freelancers; coordination with BDO offices abroad is part of the pitch, but a US return still needs a US preparer.
