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 our services are needed include staffing shortages in the accounting department before the balance sheet date, the absence of a key employee due to illness, preparation for an external audit, or bridging the gap during a hiring process. Companies also specifically turn to our 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.

An accountant is responsible for maintaining accurate financial records 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, post 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 these profiles, you can quickly stabilize capacity while simultaneously establishing clear standards for the coming months.
Essential qualifications include a very strong knowledge 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, proficiency with ERP systems (often SAP FI/CO, DATEV, Dynamics, or comparable), advanced Excel skills (Pivot Tables, Power Query), and structured ticket or request handling are helpful. In terms of qualifications, certification as a financial accountant (IHK) or comparable continuing education, as well as verifiable thesis and exam projects, are particularly relevant.
A financial accountant primarily handles day-to-day business transactions, subsidiary ledgers, and standard journal entries. A financial accountant works with a stronger focus on financial statements, is responsible for more complex accounting issues, and ensures the quality of the balance sheet and income statement. With these profiles, you’ll also often gain experience in assisting with audits, preparing documentation portfolios, and managing the financial statement closing process.
Typical deliverables include a robust financial statement schedule, a reconciled list of account balances, and reconciliation statements for key accounts and subsidiary ledgers. In addition, there are trial balances and overviews—such as provisions, accruals, or fixed asset overviews—as well as balance sheet item files for audits. With these profiles, you’ll also often receive posting guidelines, reusable checklists, and clear request tracking for audit and tax purposes.
The daily rate for a financial accountant typically ranges from €500 to €800. The exact rate depends, among other things, on responsibility for the financial statements, system knowledge (e.g., SAP FI), proximity to an audit, and project duration. With these profiles, you’ll receive transparent terms upfront and a clear match between the candidate’s skills and the task at hand.
