Her business card says Financial Director. This role covers a whole range of responsibilities relating to internal and external financial reporting, accounting, controlling, liquidity and cash management, tax, and company law. In short, Sabine Huber deals with what comes in, what goes out, and the difference between the two figures at the end of the day.

As Financial Director, Sabine Huber is responsible for making sure that everything is correctly entered in the books and properly processed, and that there is a seamless paper trail. Her résumé is an excellent example of the career opportunities with IndustrieHansa. In 2000 she completed her training as a business administration clerk before accepting the post of accountant. "I like working with figures," she says, which explains her aptitude for accountancy, payment transactions, claims and reminders management, and creditor and supplier management.

In 2004 she was given the opportunity to demonstrate her skills and continually expanding knowledge at a more senior level when she was put in charge of the financial accounting team. Another four years later, she was promoted to the most senior position in the department she first joined eight years previously as a trainee.
