Consulting approach

The focus of Winter Finance Consulting is to understand the overall context in order to ensure the best possible service. A successful and sustainable concept in the area of accounting and controlling can only be developed and implemented if all surrounding areas have been adequately considered. This is why it is important for us to examine the business model, processes and existing IT infrastructure across all departments.

PHILOSOPIA

Winter Finance Consulting is primarily concerned with creating long-term added value for our clients. We see consulting as professional assistance in achieving the best possible result with existing resources. We are not just "executors of an order", we want to discuss with the client what the best possible solution is. This involves reinforcing or questioning previous ideas or decisions by contributing our expert knowledge.

QUALITY CLAIM

It is important to us to provide high-quality consulting services. This includes clear communication, comprehensive documentation and graphically appealing visualizations. We value trustworthy collaboration. For this reason, we do not jump to conclusions or make false promises. Specific questions that require more research or elaboration are carefully handled and clarified.
