German for accounting and payroll B1+/B2

This professional German course is designed for specialists and students working in bookkeeping and payroll accounting or preparing for a career in these fields. Over several weeks, you develop the linguistic precision needed to discuss financial topics clearly, understand annual reports, and communicate administrative processes accurately in the corporate environment.

The focus lies on accuracy and confident expression: you practise drafting business correspondence, explaining tables and financial statements, and presenting technical content in a way that colleagues, managers, and clients can easily understand. Through realistic exercises, you gain fluency in advisory situations, phone calls, and conversations with partners, clients, and authorities.

In addition, you build up targeted vocabulary for payroll accounting, balance sheets, cost accounting, and HR processes. Role plays and case studies – such as employee meetings, reporting, or presenting financial data – help you expand your communicative skills step by step. By the end of the course, you will act with linguistic confidence and professional competence – using German that connects numbers, facts, and people.
