Our freelance accounting profiles handle the entire process of preparing annual financial statements in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB), including account reconciliation, the creation of provisions, accrual entries, and the preparation of tax-related documents for auditors and tax advisors. They deliver audit-ready financial statements, reliable balance sheet items, and clearly documented accounting records—as concrete, actionable results, not as consulting services. This expertise is particularly crucial for compliance and planning certainty in companies with complex corporate structures, foreign currency positions, or deferred tax liabilities.
Typical situations where their services are needed include staffing shortages in accounting prior to the balance sheet date, the absence of a key employee due to illness, preparation for an external audit, or bridging the gap during the hiring process. Companies also specifically rely on our freelance accounting profiles when implementing new accounting systems or consolidating subsidiaries. The sooner you act, the lower the risk of missing deadlines with the tax authorities, the commercial register, and shareholders.

A freelance accountant is responsible for maintaining proper bookkeeping and assists with monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements, typically in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB) and, in some cases, in line with IFRS. They reconcile accounts and subsidiary ledgers, record accruals and provisions, and ensure that financial statement documentation is reliable. In addition, they coordinate inquiries from auditors and tax advisors and improve financial statement processes and documentation.
The need typically arises when financial statement deadlines are missed, reconciliation backlogs grow, or the audit workload increases. Clear signs include numerous manual adjusting entries made shortly before the reporting deadline, unresolved open postings, or recurring audit findings. With our freelance accounting profiles, you can quickly stabilize capacity while simultaneously establishing clear standards for the coming months.
Key requirements include a very strong understanding of the German Commercial Code (HGB), proficiency in account reconciliation, experience with provisions and accruals, as well as meticulous documentation and record-keeping. In terms of tools, familiarity with ERP systems (often SAP FI/CO, DATEV, Dynamics, or comparable), proficiency in Excel (Pivot Tables, Power Query), and structured ticket or request handling are helpful. In terms of qualifications, certification as a Financial Accountant (IHK) or comparable professional training, as well as verifiable final projects and audit projects, are particularly relevant.
A financial accountant primarily handles day-to-day business transactions, subsidiary ledgers, and standard journal entries.

Typical deliverables include a robust financial statement schedule, a reconciled trial balance, and reconciliation reports for key accounts and subsidiary ledgers.

With our freelance accounting profiles, you’ll also often receive posting guidelines, reusable checklists, and clear request tracking for audit and tax purposes.
The daily rate for a freelance accountant typically ranges from €500 to €800. The exact rate depends, among other things, on responsibility for financial statements, system knowledge (e.g., SAP FI), proximity to an audit, and project duration. With our freelance accountant profiles, you’ll receive transparent terms upfront and a clear match between the accountant’s skills and the task at hand.
