Document organisation and data collection for Bookkeeping in Luxembourg

Why document organisation matters before bookkeeping

In Luxembourg, accurate bookkeeping starts with well-structured financial document management.
Before entering a single transaction into your accounting system, it’s essential to gather, review, and organise all relevant records to ensure compliance with local tax regulations and to maintain efficiency.

A disciplined approach to data collection and document organisation minimises errors, reduces audit risks, and accelerates the accounting process.

Our step-by-step approach to document organisation

1. Document Collection

We gather all necessary financial records into one centralised and secure location, including:

  • Invoices (sales and purchase)

  • Receipts

  • Bank statements

  • Expense reports

  • Payroll records

  • VAT-related documentation

This ensures no transaction is overlooked and your accounts reflect a complete financial picture.

2. Document Conformity Check

Each document is reviewed for:

  • Completeness: ensuring all necessary information is present.

  • Accuracy: confirming amounts, dates, and supplier/client details.

  • Relevance: verifying that each record is applicable to the accounting period and your financial statements.

This step aligns with Luxembourg accounting standards and AED requirements.

3. Cloud Accounting Integration

We digitise and store documents in secure cloud-based accounting platforms such as BOB50, QuickBooks, Odoo, or Demasi.
Benefits include:

  • Real-time access for authorised personnel.

  • Encrypted backup for data security.

  • Simplified sharing with auditors or tax authorities.

4. General Ledger Classification

Documents are categorised according to the Luxembourg Standard Chart of Accounts (PCN) or IFRS, ensuring seamless posting to the general ledger.
This facilitates accurate trial balances, financial reporting, and VAT declarations.

5. Efficient Billing Solutions

We implement or optimise billing systems to streamline invoicing, improve payment tracking, and integrate with your bookkeeping workflow reducing delays and administrative overhead.
