It’s bad manners to talk about money. Unless you’re in Finance & Accounting or Controlling & Analysis—the two large teams comprising Finance at BCG. Not only do these professionals talk about money all the time, they also really have to know what they’re talking about, since they’re responsible for accounting, taxes, payroll, travel management, and time and billing at BCG. In addition to purely financial workflows, they also ensure that our consultants have the best possible basis for making decisions in our various markets.

What You'll Do

The Global Mobility Tax Team in Düsseldorf ensures compliance with laws governing wage tax and social security, double taxation agreements, reporting requirements for tax and other secondment programs, and the cross-office staffing of our consultants.
