About Nadine

As a freelancer, I bridge two worlds that are essential for smooth business operations: professional HR management and structured financial processes.


With my qualifications as a certified HR specialist (IHK) and a certified bank clerk (IHK), I bring over 5 years of experience in HR and 4 years of practice in finance, including two years in classic preparatory financial accounting.
My goal is to provide administrative support to companies and tax firms, freeing up their capacity.

My service offering for you at a glance:
- Preparatory payroll accounting: System-oriented preparation of all data and seamless handover to your tax advisor.
- Preparatory accounting: Structured document organization, verification of formal correctness, and digitization.
- HR administration: Administrative support for onboarding and offboarding, creation of references, and master data maintenance.
- Recruiting support: Posting job ads, applicant selection, and complete correspondence.

My special added value: The overnight service with flexibility. I live in Australia, offering you a real time advantage. Tasks you delegate late in the afternoon, I reliably process during your night. All results will be available to you promptly at the start of your workday. At the same time, our working hours overlap sufficiently for me to be easily available for direct coordination and meetings during regular German office hours.
My daily tools include DATEV (Lodas, Lohn & Gehalt), common HR systems like Personio, and MS Office.
Let's have a brief conversation to find out how I can efficiently support you and your team.
