Accountant - your expert in accounting

As a specialist finance and accounting recruitment consultancy, we help accountants take the next step in their careers. In a constantly changing financial landscape, we help companies and accountants to successfully collaborate in order to effectively fulfill all accounting, closing and controlling requirements.

Accountants are the backbone of corporate accounting and ensure that all financial transactions are properly documented and analysed. They monitor bookkeeping, prepare monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements and make a significant contribution to financial transparency within the company. As the interface to auditors and tax consultants, they ensure compliance with legal regulations and internal guidelines and thus support management in strategic financial decisions

Accountants take on extensive tasks in the field of financial accounting and bookkeeping. Their main tasks include:

  • Preparation of annual and consolidated financial statements: Compliance with the requirements of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and international financial reporting standards (IFRS).
  • Account reconciliation and clarification: ensuring the correct allocation and posting of all business transactions.
  • Preparation and execution of tax returns: Calculation and payment of tax amounts in compliance with all tax regulations.
  • Advising management: supporting the planning and control of company finances through well-founded evaluations and analyses.
  • Cooperation with auditors: organization and support of audits and preparation of necessary documents and explanations.

Accountants usually have a commercial education or a degree in economics. Further training to become a certified accountant is a recognized qualification that provides in-depth knowledge of accounting and tax law.
The most important skills of an accountant include:

  • Excellent knowledge of accounting standards (HGB and IFRS)
  • Tax expertise and up-to-date knowledge of relevant legislation
  • Confident handling of accounting software and ERP systems, such as SAP and DATEV
  • Analytical skills and a high affinity for numbers
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work in a team with different departments

Accountants are in demand in almost all sectors. Your career can lead to a position as head of accounting, finance manager or controller. A move into auditing or tax consultancy is also possible. The qualification as an accountant also opens access to challenging activities in an international environment and in group accounting, offering a wide range of development prospects.

The salary of an accountant varies depending on the industry, company size and experience. In Germany, the average annual salary is between 45,000 and 70,000 euros. Sectors such as financial services, chemicals and industry often offer higher salaries, especially for accountants with specialist knowledge of international accounting standards or tax regulations.

With increasing digitalization, the requirements for accountants are changing. Automation and data analysis require extended expertise in IT and digital process optimization. The switch to electronic accounting, the use of artificial intelligence and big data requires accountants to continuously develop their skills in order to improve data quality and efficiency in accounting.
