Congratulations on your 10th anniversary, dear Claudia!

Claudia joined our accounting department when her children were younger. At the time, she was still working 20 hours a week, which seemed like a fantastic deal to us after only a short time: we were getting 100% expertise for half the price.

When the first colleague retired, Claudia quickly increased the hours to 30. When the second colleague also found her way to the pensioner's paradise, Claudia thought to herself: “All right, full-time then.” And then she also took on a management role, true to her motto: “It's not all that easy” - although sometimes you wonder whether this isn't just a stylish form of understatement.

Because, what can we say: Claudia is reliability personified. If chaos breaks out anywhere in the system, she's on the mat - even on vacation if necessary, with a month-end closing ready to sign in her hand. Auditors and tax consultants from Kirchheim regularly go into raptures when they look through her documents. Their work is so precise, so well thought out, so complete.

But Claudia wouldn't be Claudia if her talent was limited to numbers. She used to float across the dance floor while jazz dancing. Today, she does it over Excel spreadsheets - with comparable elegance. At home, the all-rounder also likes to roll up her sleeves and tackle the technical shortcomings of her home. Replace the sink? No problem. She does the little things herself. The smart woman is a craftswoman with controlling experience - in other words, someone who knows how it's done and what it costs.

Besides all this, Claudia is also a woman with style. Always smartly dressed, always up to date - technically anyway. Claudia had 3D-printed glasses when others didn't even know they existed. And if you want to know which iPhone is currently in fashion, just look at what Claudia has in her hand.

Her heart also beats for her cars. Technically flawless and as good as new, yours is in the parking lot. She is also very familiar with ours. Not just visually - she even recognizes them by the sound and knows immediately who is rolling into the yard in their clunker.

On behalf of all our colleagues, we would like to say: Thank you for 10 years of dedication, thoroughness, humor, attitude and heart. And if you're now saying: “It's not all that easy”, then we say: Yes - in your case it is.
