Hi, I have read and understood the project requirements, including the Bulgarian EOOD + German Zweigniederlassung structure, A1 social security coordination, transfer pricing documentation, dual VAT registrations, payroll obligations, and the ongoing compliance requirements across both jurisdictions. My bid is €750 EUR for the initial scoping, compliance review, and implementation roadmap.

Could you also confirm whether you have already engaged a Bulgarian accountant, German Steuerberater, or legal advisor, or if you require a complete end-to-end solution covering incorporation, registrations, payroll, bookkeeping, transfer pricing documentation, and annual filings?
