Which opportunities do group accountants have on the labour market?

Group accountants with an academic degree in economics and/or a balance sheet accountant's qualification have good prospects on the job market. Several years of professional experience at an auditing or tax consulting company or in the consolidation area of an industrial company is an advantage.

Excellent knowledge of IFRS, the German Commercial Code (HGB) and MS Office as well as fluent oral and writing skills in English also further increase their chances.

Whether full-time or part-time, the job opportunities for corporate accountants are promising, especially in large cities such as Berlin or the conurbations in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Group accountants are responsible for the preparation of monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements according to HGB and IFRS and, at certain companies, also for the support of the subsidiaries abroad. In addition, they monitor and coordinate the individual budgets and are in charge of financial planning.

In summary, this means:

Preparation of monthly, quarterly and annual statements of various companies and of consolidated financial statements
Execution of various consolidation steps
Acting as contact persons for specialist departments and (foreign) subsidiaries
Responsible for special topics/projects in the finance area
Dealing with tax-related questions in cooperation with tax consultants or financial authorities
Active involvement in the continuous optimisation of corporate financial processes

Which hard skills and soft skills should group accountants have?

Business fluent German and English skills
Intercultural competence

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SALARY OF A GROUP ACCOUNTANT?

The salary of a group accountant can vary depending on the industry, location and experience. In Germany, the average gross annual salary for this position (with a permanent position) is between 60,000 and 80,000 euros, whereby a junior group accountant naturally earns less than a senior group accountant. Additional factors such as bonuses also influence the accountant's salary, sometimes considerably.
