Bookkeeping.ge
The Local Compliance Anchor
Bookkeeping.ge has built its reputation as a Tbilisi-based accounting and payroll outsourcing practice that speaks the language of both Georgian tax authorities and foreign founders. The firm operates at the intersection of bookkeeping and payroll, which means salary calculations, pension contributions and personal income tax withholdings are never treated as a standalone exercise but as an integrated part of the monthly close and the Revenue Service filing cycle. For small and mid-sized employers, that integration removes the reconciliation gaps that typically surface during a tax audit.
The firm's core market is foreign-owned LLCs, IT and outsourcing companies, small manufacturers and service businesses employing between two and roughly one hundred staff. Its Georgia expertise is concrete rather than generic: 20 percent personal income tax withheld at source, the mandatory funded pension scheme with its 2 percent employee, 2 percent employer and state co-contribution structure, monthly RS.ge declarations, correct treatment of non-resident directors, and the practical distinction between employment contracts under the Labour Code and service agreements with individual entrepreneurs or small business status holders. That last point matters enormously in Georgia, where misclassification is the most common and most expensive payroll error foreign investors make.
Strengths include bilingual Georgian and English reporting, responsive direct access to the accountant handling the file rather than a ticket queue, and pragmatic advice on Virtual Zone and International Company status implications for payroll costs. Buyers seeking heavy HR software automation or multi-country payroll consolidation should calibrate expectations; this is a hands-on professional services relationship, and its value lies in judgement and local filing accuracy rather than in platform features.
Key Features:
- Monthly payroll calculation with RS.ge declaration filing
- Funded pension scheme registration and contribution administration
- Integrated bookkeeping, payroll and tax reporting in one engagement
- Bilingual Georgian and English payslips and management reports
- Employment versus individual entrepreneur classification advice
- Support for Virtual Zone and International Company status employers
Why I Picked Bookkeeping.ge:
I included Bookkeeping.ge because payroll in Georgia fails most often at the filing and classification layer, and this firm's bookkeeping-first model closes exactly that gap. The bilingual delivery and direct accountant access make it a realistic choice for foreign-owned companies that need someone accountable for what lands on RS.ge each month.
