Question

Is hiring an accountant mandatory for a Polish company, or can I do the bookkeeping myself?

## Short answer
There's no absolute legal requirement to hire an external accountant for every business form. But a sp. z o.o.'s obligation to maintain full accounting records, file CIT/VAT correctly, and prepare annual financial statements makes professional accounting support the practical norm for most companies, especially where the owner isn't personally trained in Polish accounting rules.
