It’s bad manners to talk about money. Unless you’re in Finance & Accounting or Controlling & Analysis—the two large teams comprising Finance at BCG. Not only do these professionals talk about money all the time, they also really have to know what they’re talking about, since they’re responsible for accounting, taxes, payroll, travel management, and time and billing at BCG. In addition to purely financial workflows, they also ensure that our consultants have the best possible basis for making decisions in our various markets.
What You'll Do
The Expenses and Accounts Payable areas of our Finance department in Düsseldorf are responsible for all travel expense reporting and creditor management for our German and Austrian offices. This position therefore requires a very high level of confidentiality and discretion.
As a member of the team, you will support your coworkers on the following:

- You communicate competently and professionally in German and English and work proficiently with the MS Office programs.
- You’re known for your organizational talent and conscientious work style.
As a Student Assistant, you’ll be part of the G&A Finance Team, which totals more than 50 members. Locally, you’ll work with six experienced colleagues.

Working student essentials
What this Finance working student role in Düsseldorf means for you — the weekly-hours rules, social-contribution perks, and what international students should check before applying.
Weekly hours
Working students may work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the breaks. Staying within this keeps your student status and the Werkstudent benefits.
Working student rulesSocial contributions
Under the Werkstudentenprivileg you're exempt from health, care and unemployment insurance contributions — only pension insurance applies. That leaves more net pay than a regular job.
Check your insuranceInternational students
Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
