Subsidiaries with the same work every month.
The harder it is to staff a role purely for finance, the better this fits. We filled that role for years, and the system now takes over the repeating part.
Where one person covers several jobs.
Companies with a German entity working closely with head office in Korea. The books have to be done every month, but the company is not big enough for a role dedicated to it.
20 to 100 staff locally
One person in finance, or admin and HR covering it alongside their own work.
Korean head office, German paperwork
Letters from the tax office arrive in German, and there is often nobody in house to deal with them.
A limited set of transaction types
Similar invoices and costs every month. That is exactly where automation pays off.
How a month runs.
Capture the documents, reconcile the bank, close the month, submit the return. Four things in the same order every time.
A fixed order means fewer missed steps, and it survives a change of staff.
Existing data is carried over.
Chart of accounts, counterparties and master data are migrated rather than rebuilt. Plan on four to six weeks.
