Outsourcing Accounting
Small companies, medium-sized companies, and start-up companies often only have a limited number of accountants for their daily business. Due to budget reasons, it is also for international corporations often not possible to employ an experienced accountant at each location/in each country. The highest time expenditure of an accountant is mostly during/around the monthly/quarterly/annual financial statement, as well as during the economic audit and company audit. In this combination, it is a good possibility to partially outsource the Accounting (fix agreements).
- Through fix agreements and confidentiality agreements, safety is guaranteed for both sides.
- Establishment and realignment of the Accounting according to the needs of the decision maker(s)
- Expansion of the Accounting as needed — HGB/US GAAP/lFRS/local GAAP — additional currencies etc.
I will be readily available for you with my comprehensive experience in this area.
Outsourcing Controlling (FP&A)
Small companies, medium-sized companies, and startup companies often have no Controller/no Controlling department. Due to budget reasons, it is also for international corporations often not possible to employ a Controller at each location/in each country. The highest time expenditure of a Controller is mostly during/around the monthly/quarterly/annual financial statement, as well as during the plan creation for the following year. A good possibility is the outsourcing of the Controlling (fix agreements).
- Through fix agreements and confidentiality agreements, safety is guaranteed for both sides.
- Establishment and realignment of the Reporting/Controlling according to the needs of the decision maker(s)
- Expansion of the Reporting as needed — HGB/US GAAP/IFRS/local GAAP — Management Reporting — additional currencies, etc.
I will be readily available for you with my comprehensive experience in this area.
Corporate Controlling
Through growth, takeovers, or international orientation, a new Accounting/ Controlling structure would be necessary which builds on the current Accounting systems. A complex software solution is often very expensive and needs a lot of lead time.
My proven method for a quick establishment of a company’s Controlling:
- Establishment of a uniform standard chart of accounts with description (different companies/countries/languages/currencies)
- Definition of country codes/company codes/account numbers/departments/cost centers
- Establishment of the Accounting/Controlling/Reporting according to the needs of the decision maker(s)
- Expansion of the reporting according to US GAAP/IFRS/local GAAP
I will be readily available for you with my comprehensive experience in this area.
Project Controlling
Most projects have a fix time and cost plan which is often only difficult to adhere to with the help of the internal employees. You need support for a certain project in the Accounting/ Controlling/Financial area?
Takeover of projects in the Controlling/Financial area (fix agreements):
- Through fix agreements and confidentiality agreements, safety is guaranteed for both sides.
- Establishment/coordination/control of the project according to specification or independently
I will be readily available for you with my comprehensive experience in this area.
