A FULL-SERVICE PROVIDER FOR FOREIGN COMPANIES IN GERMANY
Hanau – May 21st, 2019 – Consultinghouse helps foreign companies settle in Germany and provides them with a full 360° service. Its core concept covers market entry strategies, questions about company setup in Germany, business development, marketing and sales, as well as general and payroll accounting services. In 2018 and 2019 up to the visit, Consultinghouse had registered 15 companies from eight countries with around 60 employees in Hanau. Not all of them remained in Hanau, but most decided to stay in the region.
Mayor Claus Kaminsky and Matthias Mainka, authorized manager of the Economic Development Agency Hanau GmbH (Wirtschaftsförderung Hanau), visited the company in Hanau’s inner city and were impressed by what they heard and saw. „This is actual business development with a focus on new business formations that benefit the city and the region –all without the use of tax money! Our strategy, to work closely with private entity companies like Consultinghouse as our partners in order to promote foreign start-ups, is a success.” stated the mayor.
In addition to the activities of Hanau Economic Development Agency, Consultinghouse represents an additional important block in Hanau’s foreign investment marketing, but also for the entire region and Germany as a business location. „For this, you deserve our great respect as well as our gratitude!” says Hanau’s mayor. According to him, Hanau has many global players among its companies, which are also internationally positioned. “The companies that settle to the city and the region due the effort of Consultinghouse are a perfect match for the city and its economic development.”
Consultinghouse is a family business founded in 1983 and has been based in Hanau ever since. Initially, the company offered typical accounting services. Over the years, its business evolved, and by the time of the visit it was actively pursuing the transformation from an analog to a digital consulting company. To improve the customer experience and make internal processes more efficient, Consultinghouse developed the platform “MyDashboard”. The platform is cloud-based and hosted in Germany. It serves as a centralized communication tool between clients and their professional service provider and specializes in digitalized accounting functions. The app gives international customers 24-hour access to the most important information and services, regardless of their time zone, which customers highly appreciate. Creating the app was a team effort; its development and success depended on the commitment of each individual team member.
At the time of the visit, Consultinghouse’s clients came from all over the world, with India, Great Britain and the U.S. as its focus markets. The company’s presence at trade fairs and events helped it reach its customers. Examples of clients included the Indian Tata Group, DMI from the United States and Momenta, a Chinese company developing solutions for autonomous driving. The team consisted of 12 members. Consultinghouse valued this small but highly motivated team and was always looking for motivated employees interested in working in an international environment.
„I am glad that during your many successful years in this market, you were able to invite a large number of foreign companies to come to Hanau and the greater area. And I hope that there will be many more to come“, says the mayor Kaminsky. „It’s also great to see, that a well-established family business is now under the leadership of the next generation“, he happily states. „Please keep up the good work and I can assure you that you can always count on the support of the city of Hanau and the Business Development Division!”
