Outsource accounting.
Keep control.
We run ongoing financial accounting and defined finance processes for companies in Germany. You keep visibility over the numbers, deadlines and open items.
Outsourced accounting without losing control.
When accounting is outsourced, management should still know at any time what has been done, which documents are missing, when the month will close and when reliable numbers will be available.
That takes clear ownership, fixed routines and transparent handover points.
We run the operational accounting processes. Control over the numbers and the decisions stays with the company.

When outsourcing accounting makes sense.
Outsourced accounting is worth considering when the company grows and the internal finance function does not keep pace.
The same applies when a finance role leaves, management spends too much time coordinating bookkeeping, the current provider only delivers compliance, or an acquisition changes what accounting and reporting need to deliver.
Companies that split accounting, tax and reporting across several providers can also bring these processes into one setup.
How we take over your accounting.
1. Understand the current setup
Systems, data, transaction volume, entities, existing routines and responsibilities.
2. Organise the transition
Balances, open items, master data, documents, recurring routines and outstanding matters are transferred in a structured way.
3. Set up the monthly process
We agree which information is needed when, who owns which task and when the month should be closed.
4. Deliver reporting
The agreed figures and reports arrive on a fixed timetable and in the agreed format.
A clean cut-over when you switch providers.
Moving away from your current accounting or tax provider should not turn into a transition that drags on for months. We set a clear cut-over date and agree open responsibilities before we take over.
Digital accounting with clear processes.
Documents, approvals and queries should not run through unstructured email threads.
Together we define which systems are used to share information, how queries are resolved and which responsibilities sit with the company and which with CLIQ.
The exact setup depends on the company's existing systems and requirements.
What does outsourced accounting cost?
The effort depends mainly on transaction volume, number of entities, complexity of the business, the scope of services and reporting requirements.
We define scope and responsibilities before we start, so recurring work can be billed at a predictable monthly fee.
