Since starting the business, we have been doing quite a few "covers": one sabbatical, two long-term sick leaves, five maternity leaves, and 11 short-term replacements following the departure of the finance manager. If we are lucky, we can get a transition from the position holder. But even then, the processes are rarely properly documented. Proper process documentation (via standard operating procedures) is the most critical aspect of any contingency plan if your current finance officer/manager is no longer around. And yet, I am still looking for a not-for-profits that does it correctly and consistently.

Struggling to Find Local German and English-Speaking IT Experts in Austria? I hear this concern daily from managers in Austria who find it challenging to identify local talent. With a decade of experience working in the Austrian market and helping 50+ companies find freelance and permanent talent, I can relate to these difficulties. Finding the right people isn't just about knowing where to look—it's about having the right network and expertise. Many companies have small HR/recruiting departments or rely on local agencies that aren't specialized in their needs. This can make the search for skilled professionals even more challenging. If sounds relatable and you're looking for insights on how and where to find local German and English speaking experts, let's connect. I'm happy to offer some free advice and tackle the challenge with you! #austria #hiring #ITtalent #HiringChallenges #GermanSpeakingExperts

𝑵𝒐 𝑨𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅, 𝑵𝒐 𝑹𝒆𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅? 𝑫𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝑵𝒐𝒕. 𝐓𝐋;𝐃𝐑: Investing time at the Accounting Summit and Controlling Summit has already paid off. I stepped out of my comfort zone again, engaged in meaningful discussions, and met fascinating individuals, all of which contributed to my growth and learning. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞, 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭, 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞-𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 This year, I did not receive an award for my performance. Did I feel a moment of small disappointment? Yes. Why? Because a speaker award is positive feedback that the content and presentation resonated with the audience. Even though I did not expect to receive an award, I took a moment to reflect. Conclusion: I always strive to approach with a giving mentality. Sharing learnings and ideas hopefully helps others to , drive necessary change, and trust their game. So once again, I left my comfort zone, took the stage, and aimed to share something meaningful at the stage. What happened next? The direct and personal feedback, along with follow-up discussions, brought me immense energy and happiness. At the same time, I am motivated to improve for the next time and draw even better pictures in peoples mind. #becomebrilliantatyourbasics 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: Overall, I am grateful for all the insights and deep dives over the past few days. Here are a few specific examples: a) Discussing with like-minded individuals like Andreas Schmelzer to challenge our approaches and emphasize the importance of data quality for achieving more effective and efficient processes. Thanks Andreas, I will always remember the “Kinderzimmereffekt.” 😊 b) Conducting a spontaneous brainstorming session with Tobias Reiche and Hüdai Keskin to rethink intercompany processes and solutions. We focused on creating impactful solutions rather than finding ones that cover all current use cases. Sometimes, we should think about the future state instead of trying to fit all current use cases into a new application. 😉 c) Elaborating on Finance Transformations, Global Business Solutions, and talent strategies with various experts Was simply great and hopefully helped all of you shaping your strategies and ideas a bit. Thanks to: Andreas Schmelzer Katrin Hamann Marianne Bäumle Dr. Christian Cobbers Donata Koren Patrycja Brzostowska Pia BurkarthAnn-Christin Lüllwitz Janina Hocke Patric Beiersdorf and many many more #sharingiscaring What did you learn? What did you miss? What is the topic you would like to discuss next? #thinkfinancedifferent Foto: Justus Stegemannjustus.fotos P.S. Many Thanks Inken Meyer-Hess, Lisa Winkler and the entire Trailblazer Summits team for this opportunity and a great event in 2024 P.S.S Thanks Steffi Landerer for your introduction and your moderation onstage

Taxes: Then and Now Back in 2022, we shared a detailed overview of Austria's tax system. In 2024, we would like to look at the tax landscape again and compare it to see what has changed: ✅ Who Becomes a Taxpayer? Anyone living in Austria for more than 183 days a year or holding a permanent residence permit. This criteria remains unchanged. 🏥 Social Insurance Contributions: 2022 ➡️ 2024 Employer: 21.13% ➡️ 20.98% Employee: 18.12% ➡️ 18.07% Breakdown: Sickness Insurance (3.87% - remains unchanged), Unemployment Insurance (3% ➡️ 2.95%), Pension Insurance (10.25% - remains unchanged), Other (1% - remains unchanged) The total social insurance contributions have slightly decreased for both employers and employees in 2024. This change is aimed at reducing the financial burden on both parties while maintaining essential social security benefits. 📈 Income Tax Rates: 2022: Up to €11,000 ➡️ 0% Up to €18,000 ➡️ 20% Up to €31,000 ➡️ 32.5% Up to €60,000 ➡️ 42% Up to €90,000 ➡️ 48% 2024: Up to €12,816 ➡️ 0% Up to €20.818 ➡️ 20% Up to €34.513 ➡️ 30% Up to €66.612 ➡️ 40% Up to €99.266 ➡️ 48% Up to €1.000.000 ➡️ 50% Over €1.000.000 ➡️ 55% The income tax brackets have been adjusted upwards, reflecting inflation and changes in the cost of living. The progressive nature of the tax system remains, but the higher thresholds aim to provide tax relief for middle-income earners and ensure a more equitable distribution of tax burdens. Thank you for your continued interest and attention! As always, feel free to reach out with any questions regarding relocation or the current tax system in Austria.   Sources: https://lnkd.in/duE9Tvsb https://lnkd.in/dkpkVQVb
