An accountant or software: what each one is actually for
Software can take on the repeatable work — reading documents, matching bank movements, calculating amounts, and preparing declarations. It cannot take on judgement: how an unusual transaction is treated, whether a cost is deductible, what to say during an audit. Responsibility for what is filed stays with you either way, whoever or whatever prepared it.
What repeatable work looks like
Most of a month in an accounting practice is mechanical: read an invoice, find the payment it belongs to, classify a cost, compute VAT, fill a declaration from data already entered. A machine is faster at this and does not get tired at 23:00 on the 13th.
What it is not
- Whether a particular cost is deductible when the case is not textbook.
- How to structure a transaction before it is signed.
- What to answer the revenue agency during a check or an audit.
- When it is worth challenging something and when it is not.
None of these has a right answer in a table. They need somebody who takes responsibility for an opinion — which is exactly why the accountant does not disappear, but does stop spending evenings retyping.
What each costs
Accounting fees in Bulgaria scale with document volume, VAT registration and headcount; software is priced per company and does not grow with each document. The two are rarely a straight either/or — the common arithmetic is "software plus fewer accountant hours", not "one instead of the other".
Autonify is not an accounting practice and does not give accounting or tax advice. The application prepares; the checking and the signature are yours.
If you already have an accountant
The arrangement that works is shared access: you upload the documents and see what is happening, the accountant reviews and decides the contested parts. In Autonify that is a distinct role with its own permissions — the accountant sees your companies, you see their notes, and nothing travels by email.
This is general information, not tax advice for your situation. Check every document you file.
