Become freelancer in Bulgaria | Accountant searching

@Angie1417

Welcome to the expat.com forum and good luck with your new life in Bulgaria!

I reckon Bulgaria's low cost of living and low taxation (10% flat tax) makes it a great place to be a freelancer, especially if all/many of your clients are abroad.

Many immigration attorneys (some links below) offer help for other bureaucratic processes and accounting, so perhaps you can start there.

You can undertake your work as self-employed, or you can incorporate a Bulgarian company. I believe many recommend the latter, but the former is probably cheaper and easier to start.

I think Bulgaria has online filing now, so you probably just need advice on how to do it, rather than have someone to do it for you.

Also accounting is much easier now, you can find many online options (Xero, etc.) which allow you to do all the necessary bookkeeping for your biz. Then your accounts are ready, which means it's cheaper and quicker for your accountant (if necessary) to finalize and submit.

Separately, I would encourage you to register in the Bulgarian health system by making your monthly social security contributions (either as self-employed or as an employee of your Bulgarian company).
