Accounting, Tax and Legal Support for Foreign-Owned Companies in Poland
Foreign-owned companies in Poland often need accounting, tax and legal support at the same time. Sarego Finance coordinates these areas directly with Gostyński i Wspólnicy, so the client does not have to manage separate advisers working without the same business context.
Bookkeeping, VAT, CIT, payroll, tax reporting and ongoing compliance.
Corporate, employment, commercial and transaction support.
Two firms working with the same business context and client base.
One address, two firms, one coordinated process
Sarego Finance and Gostyński i Wspólnicy share the same office in Kraków and work with the same international client base. Sarego Finance handles accounting, VAT, payroll and tax compliance, while legal matters are handled directly by the law firm.
The two teams coordinate whenever accounting, tax and legal work overlap. This gives the client one operational process without combining the firms into a single engagement or invoice.

Legal support for U.S. companies entering Poland
American clients work with a Polish and U.S. attorney-at-law. Szymon Gostyński, managing partner of Gostyński i Wspólnicy, is a Polish attorney-at-law and a U.S. attorney-at-law admitted in New York State. For a U.S. head office this shortens communication considerably: corporate documents, contract concepts and risk discussions do not need to be translated between two legal cultures.
U.S. parent documentation
Corporate documents of the U.S. shareholder, signing authority, apostille and translation requirements for the Polish setup, prepared so that notaries, courts and banks accept them the first time.
Cross-border contracts
Intercompany agreements, distribution and service contracts between the U.S. parent and the Polish entity, drafted with both legal systems in view.
Disputes with a U.S. element
Commercial disputes, enforcement and proceedings where the facts, parties or documents span Poland and the United States.
How coordinated legal support works in practice
- A legal need arisesA legal issue arises during accounting, payroll, VAT or company compliance work.
- We coordinate directlySarego Finance passes the matter to Gostyński i Wspólnicy with the business context already known.
- Direct legal engagementThe law firm handles and bills the legal work directly. Sarego Finance does not add a referral markup.
Why this matters for foreign-owned companies
A Polish subsidiary or branch generates legal and accounting work simultaneously and continuously. Employment decisions, corporate changes, VAT registrations and annual filings are not isolated events.
Having accounting and legal handled by firms that do not coordinate creates gaps, delays and inconsistencies that a foreign management team cannot easily detect or resolve from abroad.
