About the technology
US GAAP basics
US GAAP is the accounting framework used for financial reporting in the United States. Companies bring in specialists for consolidation, disclosure work, audit support, and policy alignment when their local books must connect to a US reporting package.
Typical deliverables
- US GAAP reporting packs and close support
- Accounting memos for complex treatments
- Conversion from local GAAP to US GAAP
- Disclosure support for group or SEC reporting
- Training for finance teams and shared service centers
When specialists help
Freelance experts are useful during reporting launches, acquisitions, system changes, and year-end close pressure. They also help when a German company reports to a US parent or needs clearer handling of revenue, leases, impairment, or intercompany items.
Skills that matter
Strong professionals know US GAAP rules, month-end close, and how to explain judgments in plain language. They often work with SAP, Excel, consolidation tools, and finance process documentation. For Germany-based teams, they should also handle cross-border coordination with local accounting and auditors.
Ecosystem and tools
US GAAP work often sits next to ERP data, consolidation software, disclosure checklists, and audit files. Searchers may also look for guidance on ASC topics, SEC reporting, or support around IFRS to US GAAP bridges when both frameworks are involved.
What good looks like
Good experts do more than quote rules. They map transactions to the right treatment, document assumptions, and keep reporting consistent across entities. They are especially valuable when deadlines are tight and the finance team needs clear, reviewable work.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about US GAAP — answered in short.
US GAAP is used to prepare financial statements and reporting packages under the accounting rules used in the United States. Companies rely on it for group reporting, US subsidiary reporting, audit support, and disclosures that must stay consistent across periods.
US GAAP is rules-based in many areas and often gives more detailed guidance than IFRS. Companies usually compare the two when they report to both US and non-US stakeholders, or when they need an IFRS to US GAAP bridge for consolidation.
US GAAP specialists are useful when the team faces a new reporting requirement, a complex transaction, or a close process that needs extra control. They are also a good fit during acquisition accounting, policy updates, or when internal staff do not work with US reporting every day.
A strong US GAAP freelancer often brings consolidation knowledge, financial statement drafting, and solid Excel skills. Many also understand SAP, close procedures, intercompany accounting, and how to document judgments for auditors or group finance.
Yes, US GAAP work is often done remotely, especially for reporting support, policy work, and review of close files. In Germany, many teams combine remote collaboration with scheduled calls for finance, audit, and group reporting coordination.
US GAAP freelancers fit projects such as conversion work, accounting memos, month-end and year-end close support, and disclosure preparation. They also help with post-acquisition clean-up, technical accounting questions, and reporting to a US parent company.
Look for clear examples of work on real reporting issues, not just theory. A good US GAAP expert can explain the treatment, show how it affects the statements, and document the conclusion so finance, audit, and management can follow it.
Yes, US GAAP can still matter when local books feed a US reporting package or a US group close. Many companies keep local accounting in place and use a specialist to map differences, prepare adjustments, and keep the reporting bridge clean.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used US GAAP in their recent projects is 130 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 1,036 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used US GAAP in their recent projects, 73% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 51% hold at least a Master's degree, and 8% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used US GAAP in their recent projects have 28 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.3 years.
