The Administration department is involved in a great many processes across all areas of work at ILF Austria. Our daily business mainly entails supporting our Management and the technical departments, especially Department Managers, Team Leaders and staff, in their daily project work and thus in the fulfillment of the tasks that make up ILF’s core business. Every day we try to maintain a constant and organized flow of information within ILF.
The range of tasks which our department carries out is very broad, which is why our department is made up of the following four teams:
• The Accounting & Purchasing team – the colleagues in this team work independently, and reliably take care of the complete documentation of all relevant business cases – namely, the procure-to-pay (P2P) process. Carrying out this proces in a timely and correct manner provides an important building block for internal and external reporting.
• The Controlling team – the colleagues in this team are Business Partners for ILF-AUT, who proactively enter into dialogues with the different departments. Through these dialogues, they ensure high data quality and provide economic transparency, in order to make reliable analyses and forecasts that contribute to result-oriented corporate management.
• The Payroll Accounting team – the colleagues in this team are responsible for making sure that payroll accounting is done properly and on time. They are the point of contact for Senior Management, Department Managers, Team Leaders and staff when it comes to payroll-related topics, as well as issues related to labor law and tax law.
• The HR team – the colleagues in this team are also Business Partners for the whole of ILF-AUT, and have a common focus on high employee satisfaction. The services that they provide – which especially include consulting services – relate to the following topics: Recruiting & Onboarding, Staff Development incl. Succession Planning, Employer Branding and Exit Management/Offboarding, etc. – i.e. all phases of the Employee Life Cycle.
Our department has approximately 35 employees and is made up of Certified Financial Accountants, Payroll Accountants and Tax Consultants, as well as Controllers, Purchasing Agents and HR staff – all of whom are supported by our Team Assistant, who takes care of all of our teams’ needs.
“I am particularly proud of the harmonious cooperation within our department. We are a diverse group of colleagues in which all age groups, different nationalities and different professional groups are united. Despite our apparent differences, we are all open with one another and treat each other with respect – we support each other and know that we can all rely on one another. I am also proud of the high degree of flexibility and commitment with which we jointly meet the everyday challenges of our daily business.”

MEET YOUR COLLEAGUES
“For me, and for us in the whole team, the meaning of success in my/our daily work is when we have been able to help a member of staff with a problem and at the end of a phone call or a visit to our office, we hear the words “Thank you very much, what would we do without you” – it’s simply a great feeling to be appreciated by our colleagues.”
