Financial accounting is like the foundation of a house: not particularly exciting, but if there are problems, the entire structure becomes unstable. In German SMEs, this foundation is increasingly under pressure:

The shortage of skilled workers is taking its toll: With over 570,000 open positions in commercial professions, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find and retain qualified accountants.

Regulatory requirements are becoming more complex: GoBD-compliant processes, e-invoicing formats, the extended e-invoicing obligation from 2025, and CSRD reporting obligations for many companies from 2026.

Digitalization is changing everything: Modern financial accounting works with automatic document recognition, workflow management, and intelligent algorithms – this requires IT and accounting expertise.

The Solution: FiBu as a Service – More Than Outsourcing

Against this background, we at Konsultec have developed a new approach: FiBu as a Service. This concept combines the advantages of state-of-the-art ERP technology with the expertise of experienced accountants and a service-oriented business model.

What exactly is FiBu as a Service?

FiBu as a Service means that we take over your entire financial accounting as a continuous service – but unlike traditional accounting firms, we work directly within your existing ERP system.

This includes:

• Accounts Payable: Processing all incoming invoices and payments
• Accounts Receivable: Monitoring open items and dunning processes
• General Ledger Accounting: Maintaining the chart of accounts and posting all business transactions
• Monthly Closings: Timely preparation of financial statements and business analyses (BWAs)
• Reporting: Individual financial reports for management and controlling

How does this differ from traditional outsourcing?

With traditional outsourcing, your data is exported, processed in another system, and then re-imported. This leads to delays and media discontinuities.

With our FiBu as a Service approach, however:

• Your data remains in your system – our employees work directly in your ERP system
• You have real-time access to your current financial data at all times
• All processes are seamlessly integrated – everything in one continuous system
• You benefit from our ERP specialist knowledge – we optimize the entire system landscape

Practical Case Study

A medium-sized e-commerce retailer from Bonn processed 3,000 customer orders and 150 incoming invoices monthly. The challenges: growth, time-consuming manual processes, and staff recruitment.

The results after six months:

• Reduction of internal effort by 85%
• Reduced processing times from 9 to 2 days
• Timely monthly closings by the 10th of the following month
• Error rate reduced from 5% to under 0.5%

The CEO: “Previously, we spent a lot of time collecting numbers. Today, we use that time to make better business decisions.”
