Straetus Deutschland is a debt collection company from Cologne. For years we have been trying to work out an internal solution for our bookkeeping. The advantages of this were obvious: we had control over all issues, saved costs, promised ourselves a better overview and, above all, a structure adapted to the debt collection industry.
As well as our core business developed, our accounting structure could not grow fast enough in its current form. The processes were too little automated and complicated; a lack of know-how in dealing with Datev and also of a technical nature led us to the realization that it was inevitable to bring a professional service provider on board. It was a decision we had previously been so afraid to make due to the peculiarities of the debt collection industry.
Our fears turned out to be unfounded! Tesch & Partner was already no stranger to us, having supported us and, above all, our clients professionally and successfully in countless legal proceedings for many years. Thanks to years of experience in the debt collection industry, it seemed easy for Tesch & Partner to familiarize themselves with our problems and requirements. The always transparent communication with us was extremely instructive for us.
Our processes were automated, dealing with Datev was simplified for us and the entire area was streamlined in a targeted manner. With the help of a contact person who is available to us at all times, we switched from case-based accounts receivable accounting to a structure based on balances. We were able to access a business analysis and a compact and complete OPOS list at any time. The debt collection software we use was developed into a subledger and thus elegantly complements the compact presentation via Datev.
Together we managed to develop a solution that gives us the secure feeling that we are now in professional hands in this vital area. Tesch & Partner gradually turned out to be an all-round solution and an important interface between our core business and financial accounting. With a clear conscience, we can recommend cooperation to any company – especially those in the financial services sector.
