STEFAN WIELOCH
For more than 15 years, I’ve gained professional experience in the audit business and in German subsidiaries of US-based corporations listed at the US stock exchange market. I’ve learned that every single business transaction authorized by qualified professionals results in entries in the external, managerial and tax accounting system of a company. Missing processes amongst these Finance Departments lead to misunderstandings and even errors.
By giving my clients a full picture of their financial position, I create new corridors to more effective processes, reduce time-consumption delays and increase efficiency.
I hold a valid license as certified German tax advisor (Steuerberater); as well as a CPA (Certified Public Accountant), registered at Washington State Board of Accountancy, USA
