We take on your accounting and payroll burden from a single source.
From full-service accounting and payroll to SGK (Social Security Institution) filings, from periodic reporting to regulatory compliance, we manage your entire financial operation. While you focus on your business, we secure your compliance.
Orderly finances are the foundation of trust
Accounting and payroll are not merely a matter of record-keeping; they constitute an operation that directly affects a company's regulatory compliance, financial health and corporate reputation. Law No. 213 (Turkish Tax Procedure Law), the relevant tax legislation, and SGK (Social Security Institution) regulations impose strict obligations ranging from bookkeeping to payroll calculation and from filings to periodic reporting. Disruptions can lead to consequences ranging from late-payment interest to administrative sanctions.
At Köksal, we coordinate accounting and payroll as an integrated part of our corporate secretarial service. From monthly accounting to wage and personnel processes, from SGK filings to management reporting, we carry out the operation from a single point of contact; for foreign-capital companies, we provide multilingual reporting aligned with headquarters.

During the handover, we take over the existing ledgers, opening balances, and personnel data using a structured checklist. By planning the transition period, we prevent data loss and interruption. In this way, operations continue in an orderly manner from the very first month.
We continuously monitor changes in tax, social security (SGK), and labour law legislation and assess their impact on your operations in advance.

Accounting and payroll are closely intertwined with tax, social security (SGK), and labour law obligations. Handling both processes from a single source increases data consistency and reduces the risk of discrepancies. By also coordinating them with tax compliance under the corporate secretarial umbrella, we keep the whole operation running as one.
Notifications of the commencement and termination of employment, together with the monthly premium and service declarations, must be filed within the statutory time limits set out in the legislation. Exceeding these limits gives rise to the risk of an administrative fine. By closely monitoring the notification schedule, we ensure that obligations are fulfilled on time.
