About ExpatAccountant.com - formerly Alexio.cz

It can be challenging for a foreigner to comply to the requirements of the Czech authorities.
I have experience first-hand, because I'm not Czech (I'm Dutch), so when I started my first business in Prague in 2006 I was amazed how much more complicated it was then in any other country I have been doing business in.

Over time I noticed that virtually every foreigner is facing the same hurdles. According to me, the key problem is that it often takes a foreigner to really understand a foreigner. Apart from the language (speaking English doesn't automatically mean: understanding English), even a bigger barrier is often a foreigner's concept of what is logical and right vs. 'the Czech way'. Another source of confusion are the often-changing rules and regulations, and information on the Internet often being outdated and / or incomplete.

Our core business is Accounting / Taxes / Business Consultation for the foreign self-employed and small business owners.

We very well recognize the typical issues expats run in to, and I am confident the Exacct team is able sort out most of them, not only because of our experience with the Czech burocracy, but -even more important- we know whom to contact on which urad. Our team members all have years of experience.

Next to that, people come to us with all kinds of (unexpected) issues they run into. The type of business you own, what kind of visa / residence permit and health insurance you have, it all has an impact on your residence in Czech Republic. We have been helping people out since 2008 - I've lost track of the amount of hours of consultations, but by now it must be in the thousands.

If you are new to (business in) Czech Republic I would recommend to take an hour of consultancy at an early stage to talk about your plans before you register your business. Good planning is really half the job and will save you money. I'll gladly show you which type of business is best for you, and how it impacts your taxes and overall costs.

Our values:

• We offer full service, you do not have to deal with multiple service providers,
• We speak English, Dutch, German & Czech - no guessing what we are trying to say,
• We operate as your partner, actively helping you doing business in CZ,
• A good accountant or consultant will save you time and money.

The ExpatAccountant.com history in a nutshell:

• 2008 - Beginnings: Alexio.cz Expat Accountant started activities, first as self-employed, later as the Alexio.cz sro company,
• 2013 - Addition: the Tradelicense.cz website for self-employed foreigners was launched,
• 2023 - Transition: the now former business partner of Alexio.cz decided to go separate ways, offering services though HJ Taxes sro *,
• 2024 - Expansion: Rebranding to ExpatAccountant.com *, expanding the team with a CZ tax advisor, a CZ lawyer, a US CPA, a new office with reception

* Note: The domains Alexio.cz / ExpatAccountant.com / TradeLicense.cz and the associated companies (Alexio Consultancy sro and Alexio Consultancy LLC) have been and are 100% owned by Roald van de Munt. The companies HJ Taxes sro and HJ Accounting sro, owned by the former business partner are not in any way related, associated or cooperating though any of the domains, although unapproved emails in 2023 sent from the Alexio.cz domain (announcing a 'new flagship' and different email addresses, but without informing the clients of the real reason - moving them to a different company not related to Alexio.cz), suggested otherwise. After this, the rebranding from Alexio.cz to ExpatAccountant.com became a necessity, also because of the damage done by various misleading claims such as 'they stopped cooperating with Roald' and 'He has no real accountants to process your books'. Should you have any questions about this matter - please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Looking forward to talking with you!
