Accounting
In Accounting we give company figures a structure. We assure compliance with relevant GAAPs (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). Furthermore, we prepare monthly and yearly group reportings for the whole group as well as single consolidated financial statements for all companies of AUTO1 Group. Last but not least we secure that all employees get their salary on time.
Tax
We ensure compliant tax reporting, support our business in day to day tasks and provide valuable input for new business structures and markets. We manage tax audits and liaise with authorities. Out credo: every penny counts! Our daily work is split into direct and indirect taxes and global and local work. As a good tax landscape has to set up globally, we work closely with our colleagues from abroad.
Financial Systems & Processes
Handshakes are our daily business. We make sure that everybody works connected and knows what he/she is doing. We provide process guidance and secure that our systems (and people) talk to each other. No loose end should occur once we get involved and start stirring. Checks and controls run through our veins, improvements is what we aim for.
