Why numbers are more than just spreadsheets to me

I joined the Horyzont Finansowy team in November 2017. Since then, I have analyzed the balance sheets of 164 companies from the Łódź voivodeship and beyond. My work is not just typing in invoices. I look for places where money is escaping your wallet for no apparent reason. Simply put: most entrepreneurs overpay taxes because no one has time to sit over documents for more than fifteen minutes.

Specific results from recent months

In 2024 alone, I helped recover a total of 912,450 PLN for our clients. One of the more interesting cases was a manufacturing company from Pabianice. Thanks to the analysis of robotization relief, 114,320 PLN remained in their coffers, which they had previously intended to simply give to the taxman. We count every penny because we know how hard you work for the margin with current energy and fuel prices.

• Average time for a full financial audit: 13 business days.
• Largest single saving found for a client in 2023: 247,180 PLN.
• Success rate in approving tax relief applications: 96.8%.

My principles in working with a client

I don't promise miracles at the first meeting. According to the letter of the law, I check what can actually be gained in your industry. If I see that your books are kept perfectly and there is no room for legal savings, I will tell you straight during the first coffee. I respect your time. Concrete results, not promises – that is my motto, which I have followed since day one at Horyzont Finansowy.

An analyst's work requires patience, which many lack. I review statements and declarations from the last 4 years to catch errors others missed. Sometimes, a small error in cost classification from 2021 generates thousands of PLN in losses today. I straighten out those errors. It can be tedious, but the sight of recovered cash in a client's account rewards every hour spent on an Excel sheet.

P.S. If your accountant claims that 'nothing more can be done', I'll happily take a look at it for 25 minutes. It often turns out that the devil is in the EU regulations, which local offices simply don't track regularly.
