Services Payroll Accounting & HR Services

All-round HR services in France and Germany – competent, internationally versatile and well-connected

Together with our international team, we can assist you with all HR-related matters – from payroll accounting and pay slips to the introduction of new HR management systems in the respective country. We are also happy to advise you on the digitalization of various HR processes in France or Germany. For example, if you are planning to introduce a digital staff file or digitalize your travel management, including travel expense accounting, feel free to contact us.

Our services focus exclusively on the German and French markets. We offer extensive support in the implementation of your payroll accounting in the corresponding country. Our experienced team of payroll experts will assist you comprehensively and competently to answer all your payroll-related questions in the respective country and minimize risks.

Advice is provided in German, French or English. Each of your payslips is processed by a specialized expert who is familiar with the specific exceptions and complexities in Germany and France. Our payroll team members have extensive training and many years of professional experience, and they always keep their knowledge up to date through continuous training.

We simplify the payroll accounting process with clear digital workflows, saving you valuable time and allowing you to concentrate on legally compliant payroll accounting and advice instead of data entry and administration.

By outsourcing your payroll accounting, you can also protect yourself from staff shortages in your own company. Sickness absence, vacation or staff changes could otherwise delay payroll, but with our service we ensure that your payroll is always processed on time and accurately.

Our know-how lies in the identification and selection of international profiles and executive staff at middle and senior management levels, both nationally and internationally. We specialize in candidates who are not only suitable for their respective positions, but who also fit well into the international environment of our clients. These candidates usually have the necessary language skills and intercultural understanding to operate successfully in a global working environment.

We draw up precise skills and requirements profiles that reflect the current realities of the international job market. On this basis, we search directly for suitable candidates, checking not only their professional qualifications and references, but also assessing their working methods and personal attitudes in relation to the demands of an international corporate culture.

Our support does not end with the successful placement. We support the international profiles as they enter their position and maintain regular contact with them and our international clients. Our language skills in English, French and German enable us to identify suitable international profiles and provide our international clients with the best possible support. This creates long-term relationships characterized by trust and integrity.
