Hi

I am moving over to Turkey in a few weeks to work as an accountant, I have a basic understanding of the language and can carry a conversation i was just wondering if anyone would be able to help me with accounting terms and phrases?

I have the following so far, just want to check they are correct (i´m pretty sure debit isn´t) and know if anyone could give me any more?

Thanks in advance!!

I am not an accountatnt but I know some.

as for debit, only in "Debit card = bankamatik kartı" otherwise "debit=zimmet"

Profit before tax = brüt kar

Profit after tax = net kar

Receipt = makbuz or alındı

Expense = gider or masraf

Loss = zarar (not kayıb)

EBITDA (never heard of it)

And some more from my memory:

VAT = KDV

ÖTV=Özel Tüketim Vergisi (special consumption tax)

Money withdrawal = para çekme

Accounting = muhasebe

Accountant = muhasebeci

Cash = nakit

Cash advance = nakit çekme (money withdrawal from an ATM using a credit card)

Ahh thank you so much that is very helpful!!

EBITDA is just an abreviation for Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation - bit of a mouthful hehe

Thanks again!!
