Accounting Support in Armenia
We run accounting, tax filings and reporting for foreign-owned Armenian companies — including zero-activity entities — so founders who live abroad stay compliant without tracking Armenian deadlines themselves.
Who needs accounting in Armenia
Every Armenian company must keep accounting records and file tax reports, even with zero activity — non-compliance leads to fines and can jeopardize your legal status and banking relationships. Foreign founders living abroad are the typical client: the obligations are local, but the owner is not. Our Chinese- and Russian-speaking accountants bridge that gap.
- Foreign-owned LLCs and sole proprietorships (IE)
- Dormant and zero-activity companies that still must file
- IT-certified companies with special reporting under reduced-tax regimes
- Companies with employees: payroll, personal income tax and social payments
What the service includes
We take over the routine so you can focus on the business: bookkeeping, tax declarations, statistical reporting and communication with the tax authority are handled by our team, with plain-language summaries sent to you — not a pile of Armenian forms.
- Bookkeeping and reconciliation of bank transactions
- Tax filings: profit tax, VAT where applicable, withholding on dividends
- Payroll accounting, personal income tax and social payments
- Statistical and annual reporting to state bodies
- Responses to tax authority queries and routine correspondence
Tax regime awareness and optimization
Standard corporate profit tax is 18%, VAT 20% above the mandatory-registration turnover threshold, and micro-businesses below certain turnover may qualify for exemptions — with conditions and thresholds subject to reform. We verify which regime your company is actually on, flag when you approach a threshold, and support IT startup certification if your activity qualifies for the reduced regime.
How we work with remote founders
Documents move electronically; questions are answered on WeChat, WhatsApp or Telegram in your language. You receive a clear monthly or quarterly summary of what was filed and what was paid. Deadlines are tracked by us, and you are reminded only when a decision or a signature is genuinely needed.
Why GF Help
We are on the ground in Yerevan, part of the Grand Freedom group, and we typically set up the company ourselves — so the accounting continues the same file, with full knowledge of your structure, bank and residence status. One team, one history, no hand-over gaps between the registration agent and the accountant.
Frequently asked questions
My Armenian company has no activity. Do I still need accounting?
Yes. Even zero-activity companies must submit tax reports on schedule. We file the required declarations so the company stays in good standing and avoids fines.
Can accountants communicate with me in Chinese?
Yes. Our team works in Chinese, Russian and English, communicates over WeChat/WhatsApp/Telegram and sends you plain-language summaries instead of raw forms.
Do you handle payroll for employees?
Yes — payroll accounting, personal income tax (~20% flat on employment income) and social payments are part of the service for companies with staff.
Can you help my company switch to the IT tax regime?
If your activity qualifies, we prepare and support the IT startup certification application, which brings a dramatically reduced profit tax and payroll benefits. Eligibility is assessed case by case.
