By taking on tasks in various areas, we enable the operating companies to concentrate on their core business. Our specialised departments provide support in the areas of accounting, controlling, human resources, IT and public relations.
The accounting department ensures that all financial processes are handled reliably. It takes care of the bookkeeping, prepares monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements and ensures compliance with all tax regulations. It also offers liquidity planning, payment transactions and dunning services to ensure the financial stability of the companies. In this context, the topics of digitalisation, e-billing and paperless accounting are playing an increasingly important role in increasing efficiency.
The controlling department supports the group's members with analyses and reports that serve as a basis for decision-making. Among other things, it ensures that companies always have an overview of economic developments by providing budget planning, cost and performance accounting, and individual target-actual comparisons.
It also provides support for investments and digitalisation, e.g. in the context of implementing ERP systems.
The human resources department is available to our subsidiaries and affiliates for all HR matters. It can organise payroll accounting, support the recruitment of employees or take care of labour law issues. In addition, training programmes are developed and corresponding events are offered at the ARAN headquarters.
The IT department ensures an optimal digital infrastructure. It provides secure and efficient IT systems, maintains individual software solutions and supports the digitalisation of processes. In addition, the IT support team is available to group members to solve technical problems quickly and effectively.
The Corporate Communications department provides comprehensive support in all areas of public relations – from developing and implementing corporate design guidelines and communication strategies to ongoing press work. Group members receive advice on creating printed matter and advertising materials of all kinds, as well as on designing and maintaining their online presence.
Our specialist departments relieve the operating companies of work so that they can concentrate on their core business.
