Project description
An experienced freelance professional is sought for a consulting and advisory role in accounting and consolidation for a construction company with a corporate structure based in southern Germany. The focus is on financial statement and consolidation issues in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB), as well as providing technical guidance on minimum taxation under the Minimum Tax Act (MinStG) / Pillar Two. We are seeking an experienced expert who can support the existing head of financial reporting and accounting on an equal footing, without assuming operational management responsibilities.

- Analysis and assessment of data gaps, as well as the development of pragmatic courses of action for data requirements relevant to minimum tax.
- Supporting coordination between the finance function, the tax function, and external auditors and consultants to establish a sound basis for decision-making.
- Further development of HGB individual and consolidated financial statement processes, including intercompany reconciliations, commercial balance sheet II, and relevant interfaces.
- Validation of requirements for ERP and consolidation systems, master data, data quality, and system interfaces with regard to feasibility and risks.
- Conceptual guidance on operational improvements in account logic, account structure, and consistent use of data and processes across financial systems.
- Preparation of solution options, impact analyses, and rough cost estimates to support management decisions.
- Advisory support on governance, role, and organizational issues at the intersection of financial reporting and financial accounting.
- Ensuring acceptance and knowledge transfer through the structured involvement of relevant stakeholders in the ongoing change process.
