Specialisation:
Oracle NetSuite in International Financial Reporting

Info Icon Only few tax advisors in Germany have practical experience with Oracle NetSuite in international group structures — benefit from our expertise.

Oracle NetSuite & International ERP Structures
We have particular expertise working with Oracle NetSuite and international ERP systems within multinational corporate environments.
Multibook & Multi-Ledger Structures
International corporate groups frequently use multibook or multi-ledger structures to reflect different accounting standards simultaneously.

To ensure these systems also meet German accounting and tax requirements, a precise mapping and alignment of account structures is required so that IFRS, US GAAP and HGB can be correctly and audit-proof reflected in the system.

  • IFRS and US GAAP based group reporting
  • Multibook setups in NetSuite
  • Mapping and reconciliation between IFRS, US GAAP and HGB

NetSuite & German Accounting Logic - Preparing for audits despite international ERP systems
International ERP systems such as Oracle NetSuite are often primarily designed for group reporting and do not automatically reflect the specific requirements of German accounting and audit practices.

We ensure that German accounting structures are correctly implemented within the system and remain transparent and traceable for tax audits and statutory financial statement audits.

  • Implementation of German accounting logic
  • Alignment between group accounting and German financial accounting
  • Preparation for tax audits within international ERP environments
