Problem
Holding companies often face high annual fees, opaque service quality, and long wait times when preparing statutory financial statements and tax filings. The process typically requires fragmented document exchanges, manual deadline tracking, and coordination with overburdened tax advisors, leading to inefficiency and risk of missed compliance deadlines.
Solution
Fideus offers a fully digital platform that automates the preparation and filing of annual financial statements and tax returns for holding structures. Users upload source documents to a secure dashboard, where the system extracts relevant data, generates the required balance sheet, profit‑and‑loss statement, and e‑Bilanz, and routes the drafts to a partnered tax advisory (TechTax) for final review and electronic submission to the tax authorities. The workflow includes automated deadline reminders, digital contract signing, and real‑time status tracking, reducing the end‑to‑end processing time to roughly 90 minutes. By standardising the workflow and leveraging a dedicated expert network, the solution cuts costs by up to 60 % compared with traditional boutique tax consultancies while providing transparent pricing and a clear service scope.
Target Audience
The service is aimed at holding companies—including startup‑stage holdings and business‑angel investment vehicles—that need efficient, cost‑effective preparation of annual financial statements and tax filings. It also serves entrepreneurs establishing new holding structures who require a fully digital compliance solution.
